There is the illusion of the world and the reality of the Torah.

And you can't make a mistake when you are reading the Torah, so you have men standing around who will correct you if you are reading it incorrectly.

You are wise, witty and wonderful, but you spend too much time reading this sort of stuff.

Where there is Torah it sustains the world.

Judaism is my life. Everything I do is through the lens of Torah.

Had the followers of Jesus remained an obscure Jewish sect, most of you would not have learned to read, and the rest of you would be reading from hand-copied scrolls.

I'm not being naive; I realise there's no such thing as a pure reading. But I'd rather keep myself as far out of it as I can.

If human language, with its logic, is the way God has given us to understand the world, then the Torah must be understood in that same language and with that same logic.
