Prof. Shanan's words about the sages
Peace to the rabbi.
There is a video used by Christian missionaries, in which Prof. Shanan, who is religious, "admits" that today's Judaism is not the Judaism of the Bible.
Among other things, he says that in the Bible we see that there was no problem in tolerating foreignness because Judaism follows the father and not the mother, but according to the Sages it is exactly the opposite.
He also said that if Moses were to come today, he would not know what tefillin was.
What does the rabbi say about that?

It's good that Shanan was able to correct what I wrote in several places. Indeed, today's halacha is completely different from what was once accepted. And why? I have already written more than once that the obligation does not depend on authenticity (i.e., on the fact that the matter came down from Sinai). Even if the later halacha developed from what we received there, it is binding. Maimonides himself writes (in the well-known reply to Rabbi Pinchas of Alexandria on the beginning of the laws of marriage) that the vast majority of the sermons we have are laws that were created throughout history, and only about three or four were given at Sinai.
