The Torah as a Constitution

שו"תThe Torah as a Constitution
שאל לפני 3 שנים

Hello Rabbi,
Correct me if I'm wrong, I think the rabbi sees the Torah like the constitution found in the world today, in its basic form it is structured in a vague manner with definitive statements regarding certain issues in order to create the possibility of interpretation over the years and various periods to come.
Assuming you agree, I have a big problem with the Gemara. When I study it and they cite it as evidence for their sermons, you look at the source and in most cases the source has nothing to do with what they are learning from it. It's a completely different subject and I can't understand how they rape the verses so blatantly to enable their interpretation.
What are the limits? What are the rules for this?

I don't know what the comparison to laws in the world means. There is certainly room for interpretation in halakha, and does anyone disagree with that? Is the ambiguity so that interpretation can come? I don't know. It may simply be because laws cannot be defined in a single, unambiguous way. None of this is related in any way that I see to your question at the end about sermons. Every sermon needs a body of light. As a rule, sermons are not supposed to meet the criteria of a simple interpretation, since this is an interpretive level parallel to the simple. Therefore, questions from the simple are not relevant to sermons. To understand them, one must master the use of the dimensions of the sermon and the methods of the sermon. It is true that there are sermons that are authoritative (existing laws), but there are also sermons that are creative (most of them are probably like that). I saw that a series of books called "Pekudich Dershti" by Rabbi Itay Elitzur is about to be published, which systematically goes through all the sermons in the Talmud and explains each one as it is learned from the verses. In the first volume, he also explains in general terms the methods of sermons. If it's important to you – you can purchase it. For now it's in the headstart, but we're looking for someone to purchase it to help with its publication.
