[Avodah] Who Said It First

[Meir Rabi]

This type of discussion (at least the parts of it that I have glimpsed) and
its tone does not do much to edify Yiddishkeit or dignify it.

Is our religion and our loyalty to HKBH built upon stories that are not part
of our Torah tradition but upon traditions that we have substituted with a
look-alike sound-alike system? And which can be conveniently reshaped and
interpreted as required? Or perhaps our loyalty is really to something else
other than HKBH?

I am reminded of a diagram I saw depicting the emergence of the Torah with
its consequential development Rishonim Acharonim etc.
And then the authors wished to indicate where the Zohar and Kabbalah emerged
from - so they have put a little box in which is boldly printed ZOHAR and
placed it just under the three big boxes at the top, you know the boxes
showing Torah NeViIm and Kesuvim.
