Sigh. Torah consists of two parts, written (Pentateuch)
and oral (Talmud). Judaism resembles the American legal
system in that all the laws in both are mandatory, that
is they must be obeyed.
Note that this is the view of the "Orthodox" minority
"Orthodox" = traditional Judaism as it has been practiced for 4000 years.
in
Judaism: the other Jews -- of the Samaritan,
Samaritans are not Jewish and never were. Do they still exist?
Karaite
And these number a few hundred? Are these Jews?
and
Reformed branches -- do *not* believe this.
Just because some people choose to transgress the law doesn't change the
fact that it is the law.
Indeed, some
of them would go so far as to say that these "Orthodox"
are making ***** up.
Don't you wish.
