Rabbi Wieder explains the concept of Q're (what is read) and Ketib (what is written) and how our Sages approached textual variants in all ancient Torah scrolls (Masoretic, Dead Sea, etc.). In doing so, he clarifies and corrects some of the biggest misconceptions about the integrity and unity of the text, something Bible critics in academia often point to as evidence against the Torah's authenticity. In the second half of the discussion, the Rabbi addresses a very polarizing topic today: abortion. In light of the recent Roe v Wade ruling, Jews from both sides of the political aisle seem to claim that the Torah or Rabbinic view supports their respective positions on abortion. Find out if Rabbinic tradition supports the pro or anti-abortion side of the argument. Like most complex halakhic issues in Judaism, it's not so simple.
