Am HaAretz - Torah Scholar But Still Ignorant?

now how could it be this person has sat there and learned Torah for 40 years we're talking about four decades this is what you have after four decades angels with small wings that's what you arrived at after 40 years page 7A brings a verse from the Prophet Jeremiah chapter 50 verse that says everything we just said in a single verse Raba said why are the words of tah compared to fire as it says in Jeremiah 23: 29 is my word not like fire says hem this is to teach you just as fire does not ignite from a single piece of wood so too the words of tah are not retained by someone who studies on his own without a partner or Rabbi to sharpen his mind and this is in essence what was saying when he was talking about the verse in Jeremiah 50:36 the one I was mentioning to you where it says a sword upon those who are alone and they shall become fools says what is this what's the interpretation of this verse says a sword upon the enemies of such Torah Scholars meaning the PE a person becomes an enemy of himself if they study tah on their own without a study partner without having a rabbi and not only that that the outcome of such study will be that the person will become foolish T and not only that that person will become sinful as well meaning he's learning T but the outcome is he's actually that learning of his Torah will actually out be the outcome he's going to make more sins and he's going to become stupider not smarter how could it be how could it be that one could learn to and become stupider about 150 years ago one of the was known by the name of the was a KES kashim and during his time there was a someone that was known as a Torah scholar but was also a recluse where he studied Torah for 40 years without speaking to a single person no Rabbi no no students no nothing he would just go sit there by himself with his with his books and learned day and night for 40 years once in a while someone would recognize that he's there dedicating himself and it would give him some food some money but no one ever heard him say anything no one ever saw anything he wrote but people thought he was a Torah scholar he's learning to 40 years already and one day he died and when the kadisha came to collect the body and purify it before the burial they saw that he had a will in his will he requested that he be buried with all of the writings theim the insights that he has written over the last 40 Years of learning T and that no one would look at them now if this is Torah you can't just bury it because technically toah doesn't belong to anybody doesn't belong to him even though he wrote it it doesn't belong to him so they went to the and they said we have this guy Torah scholar 40 years hasn't spoken to anybody he has a sack the size of a Bed full of things that he wrote over the last 40 years and he specifically wrote he wants to be buried with everything that he wrote and he doesn't want anyone to look at it are we allowed to do that the mar says no no the Torah is not his first I have to see it to review what he wrote to see if it's good Torah if it's kosher and in that case we're not allowed to bury it but if it's not good we can bury do whatever he want bring it to me first so they brought the mar disin this huge sack full of writings and the mar disin takes some of the writings in front of him and he finds the first first Insight from this person and he's talking about the Jacob's Ladder it's and the g writes scholar wrote here we see that the Torah says that the Angels were going up and down and Rashi says that they were going up and down but the question is shouldn't it say that they go up and down and then back up why is it saying that they went up and down the ladder now as a side note Rashi answered that question had this Torah scholar R Rashi would have actually had the right answer which is that the angels that were from the Exile were going up the angels from Israel were coming down meaning it was two different sets of angels but this guy this silent Torah scholar he came up with his own K what was the K apparently the angels that went up had strong wings and they were able to fly up and the angels that went down had small wings and therefore they couldn't back up go back up as soon as the saw this he says to thead bury all of this as it's all nonsense complete nonsense it's not Torah at all now how could it be this person has sat there and learned Torah for 40 years we're talking about four decades this is what you have after four decades angels with small wings that's what you arrived at after 40 years yes why because he did not serve he didn't go back and forth with Torah Scholars he did not go back with a rabbi he did not go anywhere other than his own mind simply assuming that whatever he thinks is correct now this may sound familiar to some of you because that's actually how the people of the church read the Torah they read the tah in such a fashion where they look at the verse or the translation of the verse and more times than less the manipul translation of the verse in their King James Bible or their Quran or whatever other nonsensical book man-made creation they have in front of them and they look at it and they simply interpret things according to their logic without having any connection to sages of the previous generation needless to say to sages at all because every generation says something something different from the one before it there is no lineage there's no history there's no mas like the Jewish people actually have they simply allow everything to be according to their understanding but to impress the crowd the Black Hebrew Israelites always have somebody that's in the background that usually you can't see their face reading the words because maybe apparently the one that's the speaker only knows how to speak but he doesn't know how to read and he reads the bible really loud and make sure that you can hear it makes it sound like as if he's reading it from the uh I don't know whether it's Mount SA or the Tower of Babel but nonetheless he's reading it and in the Church of the messianics they'll read you some verse usually the most vague convoluted things that are out there are the things that come out of their mouth because the things that they read are simply not translatable in the common language without the assistance of the sages that have the that goes directly to the person that actually spoke those words whether it be the prophet Isaiah or Zacharia or Moses himself or if it's from Hashem but needless to say the way they look at everything is simply the way I see it the way I understand it that's what it is very similar to this but just a little worse because theit at least he read the writings of some of the sages and he read the different uh uh parts of the Torah and still he's considered an because he's missing that last ingredient of now we're going to get to why that's such a big deal in a moment but we see here that the even though he learned even though he's really Jewish even though he has hundreds of books at his disposal that he read not just buying them still he's considered a ignoramus because he's missing the last ingredient but if you compare it to the people of the church the Hebrew Israelites and the Messianic Jews and the Jews fesus and all the other people of the different nations they're doing even less there is no commentary there's simply what I understand meaning that the removal from the truth is many steps further we are meant to be a light unto the Nations not to follow their misguided practices remember every Jew has to remember that he's a Jew and she's a Jew we don't celebrate non-jewish holidays even if they seem harmless it's a z disrespect to the Tora and could lead to CH hasem desecration of God's name stick to our holy Torah and our own holidays that's the path of a true Jew
