[1] Written Torah vs Oral Torah #Torah #shorts

Did you know that the covenant Hashem established with the Jewish people was primarily based on teachings transmitted through speech? Many people hold the mistaken belief that the Written Torah contains every instruction necessary for life, yet they overlook the essential role of the Oral Torah. In this teaching, Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner explores the profound relationship between these two inseparable components of our Torah. The video clarifies the common misconception that the Oral Torah is merely a later invention of the sages. Instead, by examining the text of Shemos 34:27 and the insights found in the Talmud in tractate Gittin 60b, Rabbi Lerner demonstrates that the Oral Torah was given to Moshe at Sinai to provide the vital context, vowel pronunciations, and practical details required to observe the mitzvot. Without the oral transmission, the written text would lack the clear definitions needed to fulfill commands like bris milah. We learn how the phrase Al-Pi, meaning by mouth, serves as the cornerstone of our covenant. This transmission was designed to keep the depth of the Torah within the Jewish nation, ensuring that the instructions for holiness are preserved accurately through the generations. Join Rabbi Lerner as he breaks down these fundamental concepts to deepen your understanding of how we connect with Hashem through His word. What is the difference between Written and Oral Torah? Why is the Oral Torah necessary for understanding the Written Torah? What does the phrase Al-Pi mean in the context of the Torah? How were Torah laws transmitted to Moshe? Why were the oral traditions eventually written down in the Talmud? How does the Oral Torah clarify the details of mitzvot like bris milah? What does the Talmud teach about the two parts of the Torah? Why is the vowel system of the Torah dependent on the Oral Torah? - - - - BeEzrat HaShem Learn with Lerner LevLeib@BeEzratHaShem.org Join our FREE online classes every Monday to Thursday night: +1 201-725-3444 | JEW, BE, HOLY | - - - - #Torah, #Tanakh, #God, #faith, #laws, #rabbi, #morals, #ethics, #morality, #jews, #torahLecture, #lawsOfPurity, #LawsofJudaism, #BeezratHashem, #RabbiLevLeibLerner, #LearnwithLerner, #RabbiMizrachi, #HalachosofJudaism, #biblestudy, #selfdevelopment, #selfimprovement, #musarmovement, #lawsforwomen, #lawsofbrachot, #rabbiefraimkachlon, #rabbiyaronreuven, #jewishstories, #shabbatcandles, #torahstudy, #ConvertingtoJudaism, #TorahLaws, #ToviaSinger, #TorahTruth, #Hashem
