Lomed Mkol Adam-

I don’t know if you mean to imply what you are implying, but it is pure kefirah. What you are describing is some form of pantheism* (also a word to look up) and I don’t think anyone of sound hashkafos would say pshat in the Zohar that way. Perhaps you are caught up in proving me wrong that you have to say extreme things, but you are wrong. I say this with all due respect, I am not trying to mock you.

I am not evading anything. My points are in short.

1) Litvaks may have things they “believe in” but these beliefs aren’t the central focus, limud hatorah is.

2) The MO attach centrality to limud hatorah, but believe that secular knowledge is important for one’s shleimus in life as well.

3) Your thesis that the MO doesn’t belief in this concept of d’veikus that the Litvishe do, and that they somehow detach halacha from all meaning, is unfounded, unsubstantiated, and is motzi la’az on a segment of klal yisroel.

*You may have meant something similar to what is known as Panentheism (check it up too), but that is also an idea found in mystical sects of many religions.
