Echoes Of The Heart Rabbi Chananiah ben Teradion said: If two sit together and no words of Torah are interchanged between them, theirs is the session of the scornful, as it is written (Psalm 1:1) “Nor sit in the seat of scoffers.” But when two sit together and words of Torah pass between them, the Divine Presence rests between them, as it is written (Malachi 3:16) “Then those who revered the LORD spoke with one another. The LORD took note and listened, and a book of remembrance was written before him of those who revered the Lord and thought on his name.” (m.Avot 3:3) read more »	Reward of the Righteous [Rabbi Tarfon] used to say: If you have studied much in the Torah much reward will be given you, for faithful is your employer who shall pay you the reward of your labor.

These are the same people that are anti-rabbinic and fabricate all kinds of misinformation about the Talmud and rabbinic writings. Organized religion of any sort can’t be trusted. In their minds a ruling authority of any kind is illegitimate and power-hungry. However, we must realize that governing systems are necessary for the welfare of humanity. read more »

Click here to read Part 1 and Part 2. No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins—and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins.
