A skeptic, such as one I'm currently discussing things with, can explain them away.<BR><BR>As for the Zohar that states: "And the Rabbanan of the Mishna and the Amoraim and all their Talmud they based on the secrets of the Torah."<BR>(Zohar 3:152b) - Well a skeptic might reject the Zohar as a valid source.<BR><BR>Are there statements of chazal themselves about this, or perhaps Geonim or Rishonim?<BR><BR>I read about the Ritva RH 16B about Asmachta. I'm hoping for a long list of such sources.<BR><BR>Thanks!<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Avodah mailing list<BR>Avodah@lists.aishdas.org<BR>http://lists.aishdas.org/listinfo.cgi/avodah-aishdas.org<BR></html>
