1:30And then we have the Oral Torah. The Oral Torah explains what the Written Torah actually says. Most people who don't want to believe in Judaism, whether it's because they're Jews and they don't want to keep mitzvot, or they're Christians who claim that some other figure came and saved everyone and now you don't have to do anything, are engaging in all types of nonsense they create in their minds. But everyone who opposes this has a problem with the Oral Torah. Even though Hashem said that He gave us the Oral Torah at Mount Sinai, some people argue that since Rabbis' names are mentioned in the Oral Torah, and these Rabbis weren't alive during the time of Mount Sinai, it cannot be divine. However, the information in the Oral Torah must be divinely inspired. B'ezrat Hashem, today we're going to demonstrate that by highlighting how the information contained within couldn't have been known by ordinary human means. For instance, there is evidence that the globe, that the earth is a sphere, is mentioned in the Mishnah in Masechet Avodah Zarah, page 41a. It says that there are all types of Avodah Zarah; there are various forms of idol worship, and you are not allowed to benefit from anything that was ever worshiped. Even if it was worshiped for a single day, you're prohibited from benefiting from it. So the Gemara asks, what if it was a picture? They asked, what kind of picture? What if it was a picture of a man? Then they asked, what if it's a picture of a man holding a bird or holding a ball?
2:59You're not allowed to take it. It's like, okay, why the ball? What does it matter what he's holding? The Gemara says that if this man in the picture is holding a ball, then he's representing as if he's a king controlling the entire world. They're saying, why does it represent him controlling the entire world? They say, because the ball is a representation of Earth, the planet we live in, and Earth is round. Just like the ball is a sphere, so is the world that we live in. This Gemara was written nearly 2,000 years ago. The Mishnah itself, about 2,500 years ago. Columbus, many years later, did not discover that the world was round. Am Yisrael had already known.
