If a certain "ideology" gets entrenched, that and many other issues will be added to that "sacred writ."

The biblical commands are not strong enough. We MUST build fences around them. Then... we must build fences around the fences... and fences around the fences around the fences around the commands!


Tradition!!!

That is the exact one I am talking about!!! There's just way too much truth in that short clip.

Topol does a great job in that role. I also read somewhere that the horse in this clip was taken care of by the producer or director until it died.

It was an excellent movie.

Tradition!!!

That was the rabbinical way. Build the fences so that the heart-felt Jew, even if he or she crossed the fence, they would not break God's law. Unfortunately, the fences were elevated to the same level as the law. Then they were no longer fences, they became required and not just required for fellowship but eventually to be a Jew.

Sounds all too familiar, huh?

But for balance on the "fences" comments one needs to also contemplate why England now considers herself to be a post-Christian nation.


Balance, folks. Balance.
