Unlike the anti-Semites and the ignorant, the Talmud is a vast teaching which brings together the diverse opinions and discussions of many Torah masters over the centuries.
These discussions were the spiritual nourishment of the Jewish people throughout their history. The people of the Ghetto studied and meditated on these discussions.
The Talmud is the weapon of resistance for the poor and the destitute. Among other things, he openly criticizes the inhuman injustice of power structures. These structures, feeling threatened by the liberating force of the truths of the Talmud, organized fireworks where the manuscripts were publicly burned.
These powers were based on the maintenance of ignorance. Now primary anti-Semitism is back. On the internet you can read and hear talk about the Talmud from the Middle Ages. The Nazis also burned the Talmud. Unfortunately there are Africans who have allowed themselves to become polluted by this hatred based on ignorance. Many who seek the ghost of the New World Order are seduced by the old temptations of recycled racism. Those who desire to understand the spirit of the Talmud should at least know Pirkey Avot, the foundation taught from early childhood. The Talmud is the spirituality of the poor. Men of money and power for centuries have tried to eliminate it. Of course, this ancient tradition contains social elements which do not correspond to our time. But the comparison between the Talmud and what was imposed on peoples as education during the same times leaves no doubt. The Talmud overshadows the rest. The reason is that the Talmud leaves discussions and questions open. It shows that the Sages deliberate, discuss, raise questions, and questions about matters. Since there are many words to describe snow among the Inuit, there are many terms in the Talmud for varieties of questions. The Talmud deals with all areas of human life. Its masters may be shoemakers or mystics living from village to village or who have responsibilities. The Babylonian Talmud teaches us to resist and survive in Babylon. Both the Babylonians and the Romans persecuted the Talmudists. But it is also a philosophy that does not seek resentment. The door is open to all who are sincere. Thus the descendants of enemies of the Jews converted to Judaism out of love, they were integrated and some like Onqelos became famous masters. Rabbi Akiba and Rabbi Meir were both sons of converts. Rabbi Akiba died under torture and the cross in Rome. The teachings of these great revolutionaries in humanism of the time are before us. He is not asking us to blindly believe them, but to study them, and to understand their questions. Those who without knowing anything condemn the Talmud are pawns paid by more idiots than them.
