When many of the 613 are violated not only are the Hebrews or the individuals not punished, they are rewarded and praised. Free will is a primary requirement in Judaism.

The commandments are not really commandments

The Talmud presents us with Rabbinic discussion of the Mishnah, the oral law.

Choose wisely

The Talmud wasn’t revealed by God to a select few.. Every discussion is recorded with both the minority and majority arguments. No one tells us what to do.

The Jewish people are the authority not any single person.

The Talmud is the recorded debates of the Rabbis concerning the Oral Laws. The rules were quite simple quote your sources. Every source is fact checked by everyone else. No name calling, insulting others, and no making up facts and sources.

Let’s debate the Talmudic way!

There is a lot to learn about proper behavior. The Rabbis in the Talmud considered every time God spoke to be a commandment. Is this true?

Be kind

You are familiar with the Ten Commandments, what about the 613 commandments? Every time God spoke it was a commandment.

Not just 10, but 613 commandments.

The first of the 10 Commandments is that there is a Higher Power. Instead of using politics to justify, influence, and force your concept of God on others let’s agree that your religion is not the best and only one! There are as many ways to understand God as there are blades of grass on the fairway.

Yahway, Jehovah, יהיה is

In the 2nd commandment of the 10 we are warned of the dangers of worshipping presidential candidates as a God. The One doesn’t make up stuff and tell lies just to get elected.

Don’t worship your presidential candidate as a God!
