Charliehall: Your outlook of Judaism is clearly void of recognition of the spiritual components of the Torah and each of its mitzvos. This recognition is central to Judaism, and without believing it, one cannot be considered practicing authentic Judaism.
When reviewing our history, we can find similar precedents to the Mizrachi movement. First, it started with Korach questioning the validity of Moshe Rabbeinu’s interpretation of the Torah. Then, during Bais sheini the Tzidukim questioned the validity of the Talmudic sages’ [in their times] interpretation of the Torah Shba’al Peh. And now we have people in the Modern Era questioning the validity of the Midrashim/Zohar which interpret the spiritual meaning of Torah and its essence.
The Gemora states that the “Nistar”-hidden part of the Torah was given personally to Moshe on Har Sinai. How can one be selective and claim he believes only the “Nigla”-revealed part of the Torah was given on Har Sinai, but not the Nistar-midrashim/zohar?
