Reply To: What Exactly Was Given On Har Sinai?

I was always taught that Moshe Rabbeinu came down with the Luchos amd halachos of the Written Torah, as well as the Oral Law in its bottom line form (meaning no discussion and machlokess as we see in the Gemarah, but straight halacha l’maiseh). So for example, the Written Torah tells men to put on Tefillin (but no further details are really given), but what Moshe Rabbeinu was told to teach over Orally, was HOW tefillin are made, what they contain, how to put them on, etc.

Yes, that’s pretty much what I believe as well. But I’ve known people who believe that Moshe came down with everything *as we have it today*.
