Shalom Aleckum to you and family. I am a former yehudi and now muslim.Muslim woman are stylish as well and wear fashionable hijabs. I used to be a hassadic yehudi and our woman wore head scarves just like muslim woman and the early yehudi communities,this wig nonsense is innovation which came centuries later.what do you think wearing tight jeans and a wig is modest.and muslim and yehudi woman dont dance infront of men for modesty.

You are wrong.

Moses recieved the Oral Torah (i.e. teachings that define what the torah was speaking about) from G-d at sinai.

He passed it to Joshua. he passed it to the anshei knesses hagdolah, and it was written after the second destruction. And its proven that the "rabinnic" traditions predate the era of Mishnah, and was the mainstream practice of the day.

I dont think you know what you are talking about.

Torah means "Law" the term means the 5 books of Moses, and also all holy LAWs

The Torah =/= the "Oral Torah." I can see why that would confuse you.

It is widely accepted that Reform "Judaism" is not Judaism. Though many or most of its current adherents are probably Jews al pe halacha.

The problems with the Reform movement is that they, in their official hashkafa, dont believe in the divinity of Torah, reject "bshita" the Talmud and all Torah (Oral Law).

The ideas of the Reform "movement" (rather stagnation) have despoiled and befouled the Jewish people, altered the Jewish mindset, and created a chasm between Jewish people and their Torah.

Mishna IS Torah.

Learn what you are talking about before you say something so "assertive".

The Mishnah has many topics. The book Ethics of the Fathers is in there. It has lessons like: "Learn, serve G-d and do acts of kindness" and it explains how to do that.

Moshe was given both the Written and Oral Law from Hashem - the Written one says ie, keep shabbos, the Oral one says how to do it. He taught it to the people who passed it down etc. Some laws were very clear, other laws were debated. They discussed it according to what G-d wants. I'll send more info to you privately

I don't believe that the Oral Laws existed in the time of Moses, nor believe they agree wholly with the Torah. I know the Mishnah is an evil that has stained Jews for centuries.

Chanteur, a married woman wears wig b/c her real hair is only for her husband. I things that's special.

The reason a woman can't sing and dance in front of men is for her benifit and dignity. But if she wants, she can sing and dance with girlfriends, which I have done. We are not like muslims who are completly covered. We wear modest yet stylish clothing. It's nice because all around focus on Us and not our body.

Hi friend :)

I guess we heard diff things

The Written Torah,(5 books of Moshe) and Oral Torah(Gemorah & Mishna) go hand in hand. The Written one says what to do and the Oral one says how to do it. It's called oral b/c it was passed down orally until it was printed. Both the Written and Oral were given to Moshe and the Jewish people by Hashem. The sages who interpreted the laws tried to do so according to G-d's will. Yes they had diff viewpoints, but each one seeks G-d's desire, not man's
