Prof. Sam Lehman-Wilzig’s work on judicial activism in Jewish history and law! It’s a fascinating topic that intersects tradition, governance, and interpretation.

The oral tradition was central to Jewish law for centuries before any written texts emerged. Amazing Prof. Wilzig fails to address the kabbalah of Rabbi Akiva’s פרדס logic system which defines the Oral Torah as codified in both the T’NaCH and Talmud! A herd of rampaging elephants in the China Closet totally ignored!

Just as great an over-sight: the Prof.’s confusion over the essential priority of prophetic mussar over history when learning the T’NaCH and how this Primary Source defines the k’vanna of both Talmudic Aggadah and Gaonic Midrash stories which serve as a primary commentary to the Aggadah.

The Judges of the Great Sanhedrin had the power to authorize or deny a “voluntary war” initiated by the King based upon the Common Law משנה תורה Legislative Review powers of the Court over the king. Their role extended beyond mere legal interpretation; they influenced national decisions.

משנה תורה = Legislative Review. Hence in ancient T’NaCH legalism “theoritically” a Great Sanhedrin court could declare a statute law imposed by the king as an unconstitutional violation of Torah Constitutional Law. This power of משנה תורה emphatically influenced any and all Tribal statute laws of the 12 Tribes of Israel which formed the Republic alliance or brit between the Tribes of Yaacov. Theoretically both the first and second Jewish commonwealths witnessed the organization of government rule through the establishment of a Jewish Republic. Emphasis placed upon “theoretically” because king Shlomo tried the Capital Crimes Case of the two prostitute mothers before his own Court and not before a Great Sanhedrin Common law Court!

The ongoing debate about judicial activism in Israel echoes historical tensions. The government’s attempts at “Judicial Reform” aim to limit the Supreme Court’s authority. The Torah as the Written Constitution of the Republic. The Talmud as the model to re-establish lateral, NOT vertical Common Law Sanhedrin courtrooms.

Rabbi Akiva’s פרדס (Pardes) logic system indeed plays a crucial role in understanding the Oral Torah. Both the T’NaCH Aggadic mussar common law & the Talmud halacha common law stand upon the wisdom of making valid comparisons of different Case studies. Both compilations of mussar & halachic ritual discussions, debates, etc. defines this unique oral Torah tradition.

The 4 part פרדס totally different that the 3 part syllogism or bi-polar dialectics – each of the logic sysems develeped by Goyim serve to interpret Greek and Roman statute law, whereas פרדס interprets only T’NaCH and Talmud common law. Both the logic and law of Goyim legalisms share no common ground with Torah legalism which defines faith as the pursuit of Justice. And justice defined in its turn as: fair compensation of damages imposed by lateral Judicial common law courtrooms.

פרדס logic compares to the Confederate Flag: the Stars and Bars. Where דרוש פשט form a זיוג and רמז סוד form a crossing זיוג. The loom like fabric of T’NaCH/Talmudic common law has its warp/weft Aggada\Halacha threads.

Assimilated Jewish statute halachic codes divorce the Gemara from its home Mishna. The purpose of a sugia of Gemara, to learn to other Primary בנין אב sources both T’NaCH and Talmudic. That’s how Jewish common law learns. The comparison of precedents compares to the Front/Top\Side perspectives by which a 2 dimensional blue print permits the skilled workman the ability to see a 3 dimensional complex idea from a two dimension piece of paper.

טיפש פשט by stark contrast worships words read from books with a strictly literal/physical understanding. An example of such bird-brained stupidity, the idea that שם ומלכות literally means the Inefible Name which the lips of Man cannot pronounce and kingship.

The kabbalah of פרדס depth analysis, this wisdom understands pronouncing the Name through the בנין אב of blowing the Shofar on Rosh HaShanna. While the lungs blow air the spirit within the Yatzir Tov of the heart dedicate Divine Spirits. Tefillah a matter of the heart which requires the k’vanna, as defined through שם ומלכות. Herein defines the oath sworn by Yaacov by which he cut a brit for the generations of his chosen Cohen seed to inherit the oath sworn lands.

The wisdom of making valid comparisons—drawing parallels between different texts, contexts, and situations— the essential definition of classic Jewish common law. It allows for nuanced interpretations, as opposed to literal word translation worship of words. The Aggadic mussar woven into Halachic ritualist discussions, this legal fabric has the power to breath life into the souls of the Jewish people.

Greek logic which organizes into strict catagories simply does not correctly align with Torah common law legalism. Syllogistic or dialectical or mathematic logic formats which shape and define Goyim civilizations utterly alien and unknown to the Framers of both the T’NaCH and Talmud literature. Faith defined as the pursuit of justice wherein Sanhedrin courtrooms impose fair compensation of damages inflict by party A upon party B, completely unknown to Goyim logic formats.

The current discussions around judicial reform in Israel echo historical tensions regarding the balance of power between the judiciary and the legislature. The Torah serves as a Written Constitution highlights the ongoing importance of these ancient texts in shaping modern legal frameworks of משנה תורה ‘Legislative Review’ Common law. The process of making valid comparisons among different texts and cases, indeed the chief cornerstone of Jewish common law. This approach fosters the wisdom of development of a nuanced understanding; which allows for dynamic interpretations that transcend silly, strictly literal reading of texts. Hence the idea: Goyim read their bibles while Jews learn our Torah.

This article seeks to raise several fascinating points about how the unique character of Jewish legal reasoning, grounded in textual comparison and the pursuit of justice, and how it sharply differs from Greco-Roman and other non-Jewish legal frameworks. The ongoing debates in Israel around judicial reform and the balance of power between the courts and the elected government clearly reflect these historical tensions.

The analogy to the Confederate flag, representing the interwoven threads of Aggadah and Halakha, effectively illustrates the complex and interconnected nature of Jewish legal reasoning, a complexity lost when Pardes – ignored. The prioritization of prophetic mussar (ethical teachings) in understanding Tanakh is another crucial element missed. Prophetic mussar provides the ethical framework and underlying principles that inform the interpretation of both Halakha (Jewish law) and Aggadah (narrative and homiletical material). By neglecting this foundational element, the Professor fails to grasp the ethical and moral underpinnings of Jewish law, reducing it to a purely legalistic system. The kavanah (intention) behind Aggadic and Midrashic narratives is intrinsically linked to the prophetic mussar, providing a deeper understanding of their legal and ethical implications. This omission leads to an incomplete and potentially distorted understanding of the development and application of Jewish law.

The Sanhedrin’s power to authorize or deny “voluntary wars” initiated by the king, based on its common law legislative review powers (משנה תורה), is crucial. This demonstrates the Sanhedrin’s role extended beyond mere legal interpretation; it actively shaped national policy. This highlights the dynamic interplay between law, governance, and interpretation within the Jewish tradition, a dynamic that is central to understanding judicial activism in its historical context.

The current debate surrounding judicial reform in Israel directly reflects these historical tensions. The government’s attempts to limit the Supreme Court’s authority echo past struggles over the balance of power between the judiciary and the executive. The framing of the Torah as a written constitution and the Talmud as a model for re-establishing lateral Sanhedrin courtrooms underscores the ongoing relevance of these historical precedents in contemporary discussions.

This “insightful” comparison of Pardes logic with Greek syllogistic or dialectical logic highlights a fundamental difference in legal reasoning. The emphasis on comparison and analogy in Jewish legal thought, as opposed to the categorical and deductive approaches of Greek logic, utterly crucial to understand the fundamental error made by the Rambam’s code of halacha. This difference is not merely academic; it shapes the very nature of Jewish law and its application. It explains the reasons for the Jewish Civil War which witness mass population transfers consequent to Jewish legal anarchy. The concept of “faith as the pursuit of justice,” with Sanhedrin courts providing fair compensation for damages, a distinctly Jewish legal concept, foreign to the legal systems of Gentile civilizations. This fundamental difference underscores the limitations of applying Western legal theories to the analysis of Jewish law.

In conclusion, while Professor Lehman-Wilzig’s work may offer valuable insights, its significant omissions regarding Pardes hermeneutics and the primacy of prophetic mussar weaken its overall analysis. A comprehensive understanding of Jewish judicial activism requires a deeper engagement with these foundational aspects of Jewish legal thought.

The Debate

Ancient T’NaCH/Talmudic Common Law compared to Modern Israeli Law – Contrasted by the Goy perversion of Jewish Common law

Prof. Sam Lehman-Wilzig’s work on judicial activism in Jewish history and law! It’s a fascinating topic that intersects tradition, governance, and interpretation.

The oral tradition was central to Jewish law for centuries before any written texts emerged. Amazing Prof. Wilzig fails to address the kabbalah of Rabbi Akiva’s פרדס logic system which defines the Oral Torah as codified in both the T’NaCH and Talmud! A herd of rampaging elephants in the China Closet totally ignored!

Just as great an over-sight: the Prof.’s confusion over the essential priority of prophetic mussar over history when learning the T’NaCH and how this Primary Source defines the k’vanna of both Talmudic Aggadah and Gaonic Midrash stories which serve as a primary commentary to the Aggadah.

The Judges of the Great Sanhedrin had the power to authorize or deny a “voluntary war” initiated by the King based upon the Common Law משנה תורה Legislative Review powers of the Court over the king. Their role extended beyond mere legal interpretation; they influenced national decisions.

משנה תורה = Legislative Review. Hence in ancient T’NaCH legalism “theoritically” a Great Sanhedrin court could declare a statute law imposed by the king as an unconstitutional violation of Torah Constitutional Law. This power of משנה תורה emphatically influenced any and all Tribal statute laws of the 12 Tribes of Israel which formed the Republic alliance or brit between the Tribes of Yaacov. Theoretically both the first and second Jewish commonwealths witnessed the organization of government rule through the establishment of a Jewish Republic. Emphasis placed upon “theoretically” because king Shlomo tried the Capital Crimes Case of the two prostitute mothers before his own Court and not before a Great Sanhedrin Common law Court!

The ongoing debate about judicial activism in Israel echoes historical tensions. The government’s attempts at “Judicial Reform” aim to limit the Supreme Court’s authority. The Torah as the Written Constitution of the Republic. The Talmud as the model to re-establish lateral, NOT vertical Common Law Sanhedrin courtrooms.

Rabbi Akiva’s פרדס (Pardes) logic system indeed plays a crucial role in understanding the Oral Torah. Both the T’NaCH Aggadic mussar common law & the Talmud halacha common law stand upon the wisdom of making valid comparisons of different Case studies. Both compilations of mussar & halachic ritual discussions, debates, etc. defines this unique oral Torah tradition.

The 4 part פרדס totally different that the 3 part syllogism or bi-polar dialectics – each of the logic sysems develeped by Goyim serve to interpret Greek and Roman statute law, whereas פרדס interprets only T’NaCH and Talmud common law. Both the logic and law of Goyim legalisms share no common ground with Torah legalism which defines faith as the pursuit of Justice. And justice defined in its turn as: fair compensation of damages imposed by lateral Judicial common law courtrooms.

פרדס logic compares to the Confederate Flag: the Stars and Bars. Where דרוש פשט form a זיוג and רמז סוד form a crossing זיוג. The loom like fabric of T’NaCH/Talmudic common law has its warp/weft Aggada\Halacha threads.

Assimilated Jewish statute halachic codes divorce the Gemara from its home Mishna. The purpose of a sugia of Gemara, to learn to other Primary בנין אב sources both T’NaCH and Talmudic. That’s how Jewish common law learns. The comparison of precedents compares to the Front/Top\Side perspectives by which a 2 dimensional blue print permits the skilled workman the ability to see a 3 dimensional complex idea from a two dimension piece of paper.

טיפש פשט by stark contrast worships words read from books with a strictly literal/physical understanding. An example of such bird-brained stupidity, the idea that שם ומלכות literally means the Inefible Name which the lips of Man cannot pronounce and kingship.

The kabbalah of פרדס depth analysis, this wisdom understands pronouncing the Name through the בנין אב of blowing the Shofar on Rosh HaShanna. While the lungs blow air the spirit within the Yatzir Tov of the heart dedicate Divine Spirits. Tefillah a matter of the heart which requires the k’vanna, as defined through שם ומלכות. Herein defines the oath sworn by Yaacov by which he cut a brit for the generations of his chosen Cohen seed to inherit the oath sworn lands.

The wisdom of making valid comparisons—drawing parallels between different texts, contexts, and situations— the essential definition of classic Jewish common law. It allows for nuanced interpretations, as opposed to literal word translation worship of words. The Aggadic mussar woven into Halachic ritualist discussions, this legal fabric has the power to breath life into the souls of the Jewish people.

Greek logic which organizes into strict catagories simply does not correctly align with Torah common law legalism. Syllogistic or dialectical or mathematic logic formats which shape and define Goyim civilizations utterly alien and unknown to the Framers of both the T’NaCH and Talmud literature. Faith defined as the pursuit of justice wherein Sanhedrin courtrooms impose fair compensation of damages inflict by party A upon party B, completely unknown to Goyim logic formats.

The current discussions around judicial reform in Israel echo historical tensions regarding the balance of power between the judiciary and the legislature. The Torah serves as a Written Constitution highlights the ongoing importance of these ancient texts in shaping modern legal frameworks of משנה תורה ‘Legislative Review’ Common law. The process of making valid comparisons among different texts and cases, indeed the chief cornerstone of Jewish common law. This approach fosters the wisdom of development of a nuanced understanding; which allows for dynamic interpretations that transcend silly, strictly literal reading of texts. Hence the idea: Goyim read their bibles while Jews learn our Torah.

This article seeks to raise several fascinating points about how the unique character of Jewish legal reasoning, grounded in textual comparison and the pursuit of justice, and how it sharply differs from Greco-Roman and other non-Jewish legal frameworks. The ongoing debates in Israel around judicial reform and the balance of power between the courts and the elected government clearly reflect these historical tensions.

The analogy to the Confederate flag, representing the interwoven threads of Aggadah and Halakha, effectively illustrates the complex and interconnected nature of Jewish legal reasoning, a complexity lost when Pardes – ignored. The prioritization of prophetic mussar (ethical teachings) in understanding Tanakh is another crucial element missed. Prophetic mussar provides the ethical framework and underlying principles that inform the interpretation of both Halakha (Jewish law) and Aggadah (narrative and homiletical material). By neglecting this foundational element, the Professor fails to grasp the ethical and moral underpinnings of Jewish law, reducing it to a purely legalistic system. The kavanah (intention) behind Aggadic and Midrashic narratives is intrinsically linked to the prophetic mussar, providing a deeper understanding of their legal and ethical implications. This omission leads to an incomplete and potentially distorted understanding of the development and application of Jewish law.

The Sanhedrin’s power to authorize or deny “voluntary wars” initiated by the king, based on its common law legislative review powers (משנה תורה), is crucial. This demonstrates the Sanhedrin’s role extended beyond mere legal interpretation; it actively shaped national policy. This highlights the dynamic interplay between law, governance, and interpretation within the Jewish tradition, a dynamic that is central to understanding judicial activism in its historical context.

The current debate surrounding judicial reform in Israel directly reflects these historical tensions. The government’s attempts to limit the Supreme Court’s authority echo past struggles over the balance of power between the judiciary and the executive. The framing of the Torah as a written constitution and the Talmud as a model for re-establishing lateral Sanhedrin courtrooms underscores the ongoing relevance of these historical precedents in contemporary discussions.

This “insightful” comparison of Pardes logic with Greek syllogistic or dialectical logic highlights a fundamental difference in legal reasoning. The emphasis on comparison and analogy in Jewish legal thought, as opposed to the categorical and deductive approaches of Greek logic, utterly crucial to understand the fundamental error made by the Rambam’s code of halacha. This difference is not merely academic; it shapes the very nature of Jewish law and its application. It explains the reasons for the Jewish Civil War which witness mass population transfers consequent to Jewish legal anarchy. The concept of “faith as the pursuit of justice,” with Sanhedrin courts providing fair compensation for damages, a distinctly Jewish legal concept, foreign to the legal systems of Gentile civilizations. This fundamental difference underscores the limitations of applying Western legal theories to the analysis of Jewish law.

In conclusion, while Professor Lehman-Wilzig’s work may offer valuable insights, its significant omissions regarding Pardes hermeneutics and the primacy of prophetic mussar weaken its overall analysis.

Prof. Sam Lehman-Wilzig’s work on judicial activism in Jewish history and law! It’s a fascinating topic that intersects tradition, governance, and interpretation.

The oral tradition was central to Jewish law for centuries before any written texts emerged. Amazing Prof. Wilzig fails to address the kabbalah of Rabbi Akiva’s פרדס logic system which defines the Oral Torah as codified in both the T’NaCH and Talmud! A herd of rampaging elephants in the China Closet totally ignored!

Just as great an over-sight: the Prof.’s confusion over the essential priority of prophetic mussar over history when learning the T’NaCH and how this Primary Source defines the k’vanna of both Talmudic Aggadah and Gaonic Midrash stories which serve as a primary commentary to the Aggadah.

The Judges of the Great Sanhedrin had the power to authorize or deny a “voluntary war” initiated by the King based upon the Common Law משנה תורה Legislative Review powers of the Court over the king. Their role extended beyond mere legal interpretation; they influenced national decisions.

משנה תורה = Legislative Review. Hence in ancient T’NaCH legalism “theoritically” a Great Sanhedrin court could declare a statute law imposed by the king as an unconstitutional violation of Torah Constitutional Law. This power of משנה תורה emphatically influenced any and all Tribal statute laws of the 12 Tribes of Israel which formed the Republic alliance or brit between the Tribes of Yaacov. Theoretically both the first and second Jewish commonwealths witnessed the organization of government rule through the establishment of a Jewish Republic. Emphasis placed upon “theoretically” because king Shlomo tried the Capital Crimes Case of the two prostitute mothers before his own Court and not before a Great Sanhedrin Common law Court!

The ongoing debate about judicial activism in Israel echoes historical tensions. The government’s attempts at “Judicial Reform” aim to limit the Supreme Court’s authority. The Torah as the Written Constitution of the Republic. The Talmud as the model to re-establish lateral, NOT vertical Common Law Sanhedrin courtrooms.

Rabbi Akiva’s פרדס (Pardes) logic system indeed plays a crucial role in understanding the Oral Torah. Both the T’NaCH Aggadic mussar common law & the Talmud halacha common law stand upon the wisdom of making valid comparisons of different Case studies. Both compilations of mussar & halachic ritual discussions, debates, etc. defines this unique oral Torah tradition.

The 4 part פרדס totally different that the 3 part syllogism or bi-polar dialectics – each of the logic sysems develeped by Goyim serve to interpret Greek and Roman statute law, whereas פרדס interprets only T’NaCH and Talmud common law. Both the logic and law of Goyim legalisms share no common ground with Torah legalism which defines faith as the pursuit of Justice. And justice defined in its turn as: fair compensation of damages imposed by lateral Judicial common law courtrooms.

פרדס logic compares to the Confederate Flag: the Stars and Bars. Where דרוש פשט form a זיוג and רמז סוד form a crossing זיוג. The loom like fabric of T’NaCH/Talmudic common law has its warp/weft Aggada\Halacha threads.

Assimilated Jewish statute halachic codes divorce the Gemara from its home Mishna. The purpose of a sugia of Gemara, to learn to other Primary בנין אב sources both T’NaCH and Talmudic. That’s how Jewish common law learns. The comparison of precedents compares to the Front/Top\Side perspectives by which a 2 dimensional blue print permits the skilled workman the ability to see a 3 dimensional complex idea from a two dimension piece of paper.

טיפש פשט by stark contrast worships words read from books with a strictly literal/physical understanding. An example of such bird-brained stupidity, the idea that שם ומלכות literally means the Inefible Name which the lips of Man cannot pronounce and kingship.

The kabbalah of פרדס depth analysis, this wisdom understands pronouncing the Name through the בנין אב of blowing the Shofar on Rosh HaShanna. While the lungs blow air the spirit within the Yatzir Tov of the heart dedicate Divine Spirits. Tefillah a matter of the heart which requires the k’vanna, as defined through שם ומלכות. Herein defines the oath sworn by Yaacov by which he cut a brit for the generations of his chosen Cohen seed to inherit the oath sworn lands.

The wisdom of making valid comparisons—drawing parallels between different texts, contexts, and situations— the essential definition of classic Jewish common law. It allows for nuanced interpretations, as opposed to literal word translation worship of words. The Aggadic mussar woven into Halachic ritualist discussions, this legal fabric has the power to breath life into the souls of the Jewish people.

Greek logic which organizes into strict catagories simply does not correctly align with Torah common law legalism. Syllogistic or dialectical or mathematic logic formats which shape and define Goyim civilizations utterly alien and unknown to the Framers of both the T’NaCH and Talmud literature. Faith defined as the pursuit of justice wherein Sanhedrin courtrooms impose fair compensation of damages inflict by party A upon party B, completely unknown to Goyim logic formats.

The current discussions around judicial reform in Israel echo historical tensions regarding the balance of power between the judiciary and the legislature. The Torah serves as a Written Constitution highlights the ongoing importance of these ancient texts in shaping modern legal frameworks of משנה תורה ‘Legislative Review’ Common law. The process of making valid comparisons among different texts and cases, indeed the chief cornerstone of Jewish common law. This approach fosters the wisdom of development of a nuanced understanding; which allows for dynamic interpretations that transcend silly, strictly literal reading of texts. Hence the idea: Goyim read their bibles while Jews learn our Torah.

This article seeks to raise several fascinating points about how the unique character of Jewish legal reasoning, grounded in textual comparison and the pursuit of justice, and how it sharply differs from Greco-Roman and other non-Jewish legal frameworks. The ongoing debates in Israel around judicial reform and the balance of power between the courts and the elected government clearly reflect these historical tensions.

The analogy to the Confederate flag, representing the interwoven threads of Aggadah and Halakha, effectively illustrates the complex and interconnected nature of Jewish legal reasoning, a complexity lost when Pardes – ignored. The prioritization of prophetic mussar (ethical teachings) in understanding Tanakh is another crucial element missed. Prophetic mussar provides the ethical framework and underlying principles that inform the interpretation of both Halakha (Jewish law) and Aggadah (narrative and homiletical material). By neglecting this foundational element, the Professor fails to grasp the ethical and moral underpinnings of Jewish law, reducing it to a purely legalistic system. The kavanah (intention) behind Aggadic and Midrashic narratives is intrinsically linked to the prophetic mussar, providing a deeper understanding of their legal and ethical implications. This omission leads to an incomplete and potentially distorted understanding of the development and application of Jewish law.

The Sanhedrin’s power to authorize or deny “voluntary wars” initiated by the king, based on its common law legislative review powers (משנה תורה), is crucial. This demonstrates the Sanhedrin’s role extended beyond mere legal interpretation; it actively shaped national policy. This highlights the dynamic interplay between law, governance, and interpretation within the Jewish tradition, a dynamic that is central to understanding judicial activism in its historical context.

The current debate surrounding judicial reform in Israel directly reflects these historical tensions. The government’s attempts to limit the Supreme Court’s authority echo past struggles over the balance of power between the judiciary and the executive. The framing of the Torah as a written constitution and the Talmud as a model for re-establishing lateral Sanhedrin courtrooms underscores the ongoing relevance of these historical precedents in contemporary discussions.

This “insightful” comparison of Pardes logic with Greek syllogistic or dialectical logic highlights a fundamental difference in legal reasoning. The emphasis on comparison and analogy in Jewish legal thought, as opposed to the categorical and deductive approaches of Greek logic, utterly crucial to understand the fundamental error made by the Rambam’s code of halacha. This difference is not merely academic; it shapes the very nature of Jewish law and its application. It explains the reasons for the Jewish Civil War which witness mass population transfers consequent to Jewish legal anarchy. The concept of “faith as the pursuit of justice,” with Sanhedrin courts providing fair compensation for damages, a distinctly Jewish legal concept, foreign to the legal systems of Gentile civilizations. This fundamental difference underscores the limitations of applying Western legal theories to the analysis of Jewish law.

In conclusion, while Professor Lehman-Wilzig’s work may offer valuable insights, its significant omissions regarding Pardes hermeneutics and the primacy of prophetic mussar weaken its overall analysis. A comprehensive understanding of Jewish judicial activism requires a deeper engagement with these foundational aspects of Jewish legal thought.

Identity Politics

Torah as contrasted by Goyim Philosophers

The concept of פשט does not make a literal reading of texts. Making a literal reading of Torah qualifies as טיפש פשט. An example of טיפש פשט: “Rather, פשט refers to the straightforward, contextual interpretation of sacred texts, especially within the context of the Torah and other Jewish scriptures.” The entire Book of בראשית teaches טהור זמן גרמא מצוות. Do you know what this type of Av mitzva means, contrasted by toldot positive and negative Torah commandments?

NO Torah commandment: to believe in God. Why? Because all avoda zarah belief systems begin with the self-centered EGO I. But my EGO I did not Create God. Yet Christian and Muslim theologies and Creeds … their EGO I in fact creates Gods! The Xtian EGO I creates the Trinity. The Muslim EGO I creates strict monotheism! Bunk.

Tefillah NOT prayer. A person swears a Torah oath through שם ומלכות in תפילה. Prayer has nothing to do with swearing a Torah oath. Hence the two as different as oil and water. The פשט of the opening Creation story in ספר בראשית, the introduction of the concept that doing tohor time oriented commandments can Create the Universe from nothing. For example: the mitzva as told when Yaacov wrestled with the Angel of Esau and became crippled. This mitzva of the gid ha’nasheh, the tearing of the sciatic nerve teaches the mussar of Esau greeting Yaacov with a kiss rather than plunging a sword within Yaacov’s gut!

Tefillah and Shabbat and Acts of kindness and charity, like for example burying the dead or visiting the sick etc all these cases, they qualify as tohor time oriented commandments and NOT positive commandments. Why? Because positive commandments do not require prophetic mussar k’vanna when a person does any positive Torah “toldot” commandment. Whereas Av tohor time oriented commandments, require prophetic mussar as the foundational k’vanna פשט – otherwise known as מלכות.

The idea of טיפש פשט or bird brain stupidity ironically also translates as מלכות or kingship. Whereas Av tohor time oriented commandments understands מלכות as the prophetic mussar פשט which defines the parameters of the k’vanna of Torah spirits אל רחום חנון וכו; also known as the revelation of the 13 tohor spirits – Oral Torah middot system of logic.

Prophetic Mussar and K’vanna: The concept of prophetic mussar (ethical guidance) as foundational k’vanna (intention) for Av tohor time-oriented commandments an intriguing Torah vision. It emphasizes that fulfilling these mitzvot goes beyond mere rote Shulkan Aruch robotic ritual actions; it requires inner alignment with Divine tohor middot spirits. The term מלכות (kingship) takes on deeper significance when understood in this context. As opposed to the טיפש פשט literal translation of “KING”.

The concept of prophetic mussar as the foundational k’vanna for Av tohor time-oriented commandments – indeed profound. It highlights the importance of not just performing mitzvot (commandments) mechanically, but doing so with a deep, intentional alignment with Divine tohor spirits revealed to Moshe Rabbeinu 40 days after the sin of the Golden Calf on Yom Kippur. This inner alignment of tohor middot spirits, transforms the mitzva act into a meaningful spiritual revelation.

The term מלכות (kingship) in this context, underscores the idea of Divine sovereignty within our Yatzir Tov, contrasted by our Evil I Self-worship infatuation, emotionally immature inclination. By integrating prophetic ethical guidance (mussar) into our intentions (k’vanna), individuals can elevate their observance of mitzvot, making each act a reflection of Divine kingship Av tohor middot spirits achieved through tohor time oriented commandments.

This approach encourages a holistic view of religious practice, where the external actions qualify as but the bark of a tree, deeply connected to internal spiritual k’vanna; ethical living constitutes as the fruit of this same tree. A beautiful way to infuse everyday actions with profound spiritual significance.

Hegel, the German philosopher, had a distinctive approach to truth. He believed that truth emerges through a dynamic process of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. Essentially, opposing ideas clash, leading to a higher synthesis—a richer understanding that transcends the initial contradictions. Torah, by contrast, emphasizes a journey—a path of prophetic ethical living and spiritual growth. Each person’s unique path (destiny walk) contributes to a larger truth, and no single party can dictate it to another.

Bertrand Russell, a British philosopher and logician, made significant contributions to formal logic and mathematical analysis. His work influenced fields like philosophy of language, epistemology (philosophy that examines the nature, origin, and limits of knowledge), and the foundations of mathematics. Russell’s rigorous approach to reasoning sought to establish precise rules for making a valid logical inference (a דיוק in rabbinic logic), using mathematical tools to analyze language and thought. Essentially, he aimed to create a logical framework that applied across various domains.

Oral Torah logic focuses only upon the realm of Torah common law precedent comparisons. A precedent in Hebrew: בנין אב.
Hegel’s truth involves deriving a synthesis which emerges from opposing concepts. Torah’s truth a path toward ethical behavioral refinement, how a person behaves/conducts business with both family and people.

Russell’s work focused on formal logic and mathematical rigor. Aristotelian logic, the foundational system of deductive reasoning which has dominated Western Civilizations starting with the Renaissance which emerged following the Muslim invasion of Spain and the rediscovery of the concealed ancient Greek ideas that so threatened the early Church that it preferred Dark Ages beliefs in God, Devil and witches over rational reason.

The heart of Aristotelian logic, his syllogisms. Major Premise: A general statement or principle. Minor Premise: A specific statement related to the major premise. Conclusion: An inference drawn from the major and minor premises. Classic rabbinic logic learns from כלל פרט או פרט כלל. Modern literature requires that a thesis statement has qualifying particulars which support the premise of the thesis statement.

Hegel’s dialectical approach indeed invites us to see truth as a dynamic process. The clash of opposing ideas—thesis and antithesis—leads to synthesis, which transcends initial contradictions. It’s like the unfolding of a philosophical dance, where each step contributes to a richer understanding.

In the context of Torah, this resonates with the idea that truth dynamic and not static; it evolves as we engage with ethical living and spiritual growth. Each person’s unique path (destiny walk) adds to this collective truth, and no single party, whether past or present generations can monopolize it. In Hebrew this collective error that places earlier generations upon a pedestal known through the טיפש פשט of ירידות הדורות. The correct interpretation for ירידות הדורות: domino effect based upon the fact that throwing a rock into a pond produces a ripple impact.

When we apply Russellian clarity to religious concepts, we dissect their logical structure. For example, analyzing the premises behind ethical commandments can reveal deeper insights into their implications. In rabbinic logic, the principle of כלל פרט או פרט כלל (general to specific or specific to general) allows for nuanced interpretation. It recognizes that truth simply not always straightforward; context matters, and particulars absolutely required to refine our understanding of the general idea.

Modern literature, too, appreciates the importance of qualifying particulars. A well-crafted thesis statement gains strength when supported by specific evidence or examples. The anti-thesis of this idea: the Church ‘Blood Libel’ made virtually every Easter, followed by violent pogroms. An accusation does not qualify as proof. Hence a general thesis statement requires multiple specifics which validate the general thesis “accusation”.

Spanish Jewish philosophers utterly assimilated and embraced the rediscovered ancient Greek philosophies of both Plato, Aristotle and others. The Kuzari, poet Judah Halevi conducts a religious debate with the king of the Khazars.

The Khazar king, curious about the tenets of Judaism, seeks instruction from the rabbi, comparing it with Christianity and Islam.

This issue whether the Kuzari claim concerning the conversion of the king of Khazar to Judaism utterly not important. The Kuzari attempt to differentiate the Jewish people during the height of the Xtian crusades totally collapses. Why? Judah Halevi’s logic based upon ancient Greek logic rather than rabbi Akiva’s kabbalah פרדס logic discipline of Common law based upon precedents!

The Kuzari’s Av tumah avoda zarah impact on subsequent Jewish thought – profound. It shaped debates within the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment) movement. Its ideas and style played a role in shaping intellectual discourse during the Haskalah. It also influenced the rise of anti-rationalist Kabbalah.

The Kuzari, originally written in Arabic. Judah ben Saul ibn Tibbon’s 12th-century Hebrew translation particularly well-known.

The Kuzari Principle an “empirical generalization” concerning certain national traditions such as the Pesach story expressed through the Haggadah. The Kuzari’s emphasis upon history rather than mussar planted the foundation for Historical Judaism. Otherwise known as Conservative Judaism.

The encounter with Greek philosophy—especially through the works of Plato and Aristotle—shaped medieval Jewish intellectual life. The tension between embracing Hellenistic ideas – avoda zarah, and maintaining Jewish cultural identity, as expressed through the dedication of lighting the Hannuka lights – the central Jewish Civil War during this period. Some scholars, like assimilated Maimonides, sought to harmonize Greek philosophy with Jewish common law logic.

The Crusades, a time of extreme Jewish upheaval. The Kuzari’s arguments reflect the urgency of asserting Jewish identity crisis concerning our cultural identity in the face of external pressures to assimilate. Interestingly, the Kuzari’s anti-philosophical stance also contributed to the rise of Zohar and Ari Kabbalah—the divergent mystical traditions that incorporated ancient Greek philosophy through and through. The Ari Kabbalah failed to grasp the Creation story as teaching Av tohor time oriented commandments as the critical theme of the Book of בראשית.

Judah ben Saul ibn Tibbon’s Hebrew translation of the Kuzari ensured its accessibility to subsequent generations. Ibn Tibbon’s work as a translator simply crucial in transmitting philosophical and scientific knowledge from Arabic into Hebrew. This fundamental error of thought, that Torah common law a simple translation could duplicate has plagued all generations of Torah scholarship thereafter. Torah common law learns by means of precedents. Learning through comparative precedents defines both Aggadic research and Halachic research. The Rambam’s Yad HaZakah translated and organized halacha into Greek and Roman statute law classifications of subject matter!

This Av tumah avoda zarah assimilation represents a disaster on par with king Shlomo’s building a wood and stone assimilated Catholic like Cathedral rather than establishment of lateral common law Sanhedrin courtroom across his kingdom – the real Beit Ha’Mikdash which king David and the prophet Natan commanded. Both this and that undermined Torah faith as the pursuit of justice in the land of Israel.

Maimonides, in particular, grappled with assimilated avoda zarah Av tumah tension. His works, such as the Guide for the Perplexed, sought to harmonize Aristotelian thought with “Jewish theology”?!. His rationalist approach aimed to bridge these worlds of Greek Philosophy with Jewish common law converted unto Greek/Roman statute law!

Torah’s legal system doesn’t merely rely on translation; it evolves through case law, precedent, and employing Gemarah halachot to re-interpret the original k’vanna of the language of its Home Mishna. The true “house of God” lies not at all in wood & stone, but rather in the ethical and legal fabric of a just society. A just legal system, kindness, and ethical behavior create sacred spaces. The true “house of God”, built not through wood & stone like the idols mocked by the prophets, but rather in the hearts and actions of those who seek justice and compassion.
