nitpicker- There are skeptics to every claim, and that’s perfectly fine. But to take the opposite position on every claim, purporting that the evidence is on YOUR side, is blatantly incorrect.
There is a famous adage from the Steipler Goan, who said, “If you believe every tale you hear you are a heretic, and if you believe that every tale couldn’t have occurred, you are a heretic as well.
The same Steipler Goan, in his Sefer Hayei Olam writes, “It is known that the Maharal produced a Golem”
The Steipler was known to have Ruach Hakodesh.
This is not to say that every tale of the Golem is true. But that the Maharal did create a Golem.
old man, and nitpicker- your stances on many issues are completely unsupported, and your backward reasoning is very revealing of argumentative people who are brutally unlearned.
zahavasdad- “Many of the Medrashim cannot possibly be true. Many are contradictory”
-The first subscription of a true torah learner is that there are smarter and greater men out there, giants of torah, who can reconcile contradictions that thou cannot.
“Many were written in a code so that outsiders could not understand many were also subject to censors as well”
Before we effectively denounce all Jewish writings as possibly altered, and in-understandable, we must concede to the Torah Giants who are able to read and interpret the Amoraic writings effectively. The Vilna Gaon, Rashash, and others were able to discern the true text from altered writings and misprints, solely through their torah wisdom.
