| Dec 24, 2014 at 22:11 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @Daniel "only have a tradition" Did you mean to say "only have a RECORDED tradition"? Why can't that mean that the other opinion was around just not recorded? And then how can you use that as proof of primacy? | |
| Dec 24, 2014 at 22:08 | comment | added | MoriDowidhYa3aqov | @Daniel we have a sanhadreen whom we must hold by. it is essentially like the supreme court. even though they might be wrong and the ethopian jews can disprove them, that is of no use because there is no sanhadreen now to reissue laws. | |
| Dec 24, 2014 at 22:01 | comment | added | Daniel | @DoubleAA it shouldn't. I'm talking about the case where we have machloket and they only have a tradition from one side of the argument | |

| Dec 24, 2014 at 21:58 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @Daniel just because the talmud doesn't record a dissenting opinion doesn't mean it didn't exist. why should ethopians only recording one opinion mean ours didn't exist? | |
| Dec 24, 2014 at 21:53 | comment | added | Daniel | @DoubleAA will do. Regarding your chiluk, what's the difference? Obviously this question only applies to Torah-level commandments and not derabanans, which is a point I originally neglected to include in the question. | |
| Dec 24, 2014 at 21:51 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | How about including your reasoning explicitly in the question? I'm still not sure why you think "on undisputed points in Talmud, we assume that they are correctly transmitted". We just assume that's how we should paskin. | |
| Dec 24, 2014 at 21:49 | comment | added | Daniel | @DoubleAA on undisputed points in Talmud, we assume that they are correctly transmitted, so if the Ethiopians had a machlokes, I think we'd feel pretty confident in telling them what the Talmud says is correct. Why not the other way around? | |
| Dec 24, 2014 at 21:47 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @Daniel So...their lack of dispute indicates that they transmitted the law better? I don't see why. All it indicates to me is that they paskined differently than we did. | |
| Dec 24, 2014 at 21:47 | comment | added | Daniel | @DoubleAA Because they don't have dispute and we do | |
| Dec 24, 2014 at 21:46 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @Daniel Why would you think that is indicated...unless you somehow trust their transmission better? My previous comment was charitably designed to make your question sensible. If you are not assuming that then I don't know what you thinking. | |
| Dec 24, 2014 at 21:40 | comment | added | Daniel | @DoubleAA I don't make that assumption. But if we have disagreement and they don't have disagreement about that particular point but seem to follow one of the disagreeing positions, maybe we can assume that's what was taught at Sinai. | |
| Dec 24, 2014 at 20:57 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | Why assume they transmitted the law more perfectly than we did? | |

| Dec 24, 2014 at 20:35 | comment | added | rosenjcb | It's one thing to use Ethiopian oral torah to resolve a machlokes for the sake of internal understanding of Talmudic literature. And then it's another thing to make a halacha based on what Ethiopians do. I know that some gaon (a rosh yeshiva in babylon) said that a Jew who claimed to be from the lost 10 tribes is apart of halachic discussion, but there are other opinions obviously. | |
| Dec 24, 2014 at 20:06 | comment | added | Daniel | @rosenjcb I don't understand your question | |
| Dec 24, 2014 at 20:05 | comment | added | rosenjcb | By resolve machlokes, you mean make a halacha or? | |
