Orthodox Judaism: Orthodox Judaisms
built 643 days ago
Despite this underlying assumption Orthodox Judaisms frequently finds itself at odds with the Talmud. Space does not permit me to go into a detailed analysis of any particular issue,2 but conceptually, most Orthodox Rabbis and laity agree with this reality, frequently saying "we don't pasken (rule) from the gemara." This does not only mean that what the Talmud prohibits Orthodox Judaisms permit, but Orthodox Judaisms ... prohibit what the Talmud explicitly permits.3 These incongruities also extend to the realm of theology where uncomfortable or inconvenient statements are ignored, suppressed, or "reinterpreted."
