The Torah is not a rule book its a guide for living the mitzvot are inherently instilled in goodness, any pure soul would follow the Torah almost by instinct, (see in the akeida v;yishlach Avrohom et yado) The pre Torah, G-d fearing, people knew, with with out having to write a Torah. And would have implemented as much as possible.Noamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-71777017377683454232010-11-25T09:02:51.891-05:002010-11-25T09:02:51.891-05:00http://www.cross-currents.com/archives/2010/11/25/...http://www.cross-currents.com/archives/2010/11/25/the-yeshiva-bochur-youtube-and-its-discontents/harry-er than them allhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957506180776134351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-57712403485817881582010-11-22T19:22:45.284-05:002010-11-22T19:22:45.284-05:00Obviously the Avos kept those mitzvos which were a...Obviously the Avos kept those mitzvos which were applicable to them (while in E"Y, cause he did marry two sisters), and not those which came about through historical events later. He probably ate the gid hanasheh before his fight with the maalach. <br /><br />I think the point of the video was to show how when people say or write a vort on the parsha, they dont think whether it fits with p'shat and will find that there are too many holes for it to be true.<br /><br />Ezzie- the thing is that ChaZaL, not rishonim held they kept kol hatorah kulah, and in any case hashkafa like halacha has a procedure of whom to follow and whom to reject. Accepting a minority hashkafic opinion is similar to accepting a minority halachic opinion; both have been rejected by the majority.<br />Andharry-er than them allhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957506180776134351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-50212128645592144532010-11-22T14:17:31.585-05:002010-11-22T14:17:31.585-05:00AND DON'T KNOCK MY CHUCK TAYLOR'S...you cr...AND DON'T KNOCK MY CHUCK TAYLOR'S...you croc wearing sheep!Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512231582715592098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-20910650992675035102010-11-22T14:00:35.816-05:002010-11-22T14:00:35.816-05:00for the record who exactly says that the avos kept...for the record who exactly says that the avos kept "taryag" mitzvos?Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512231582715592098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-72220529742519637852010-11-21T22:32:42.629-05:002010-11-21T22:32:42.629-05:00Noam - Why would they have?
