[Music] good evening i want to share with you tonight a very interesting story that takes us back to the 18th century to the jewish capital of lithuania vilna which was known as yurushalayim de litta the jerusalem of lithuania there was a debate that broke out between the group of jews known as kriyam kharits and traditionally observant jews the karaites were a sect that did not believe in the rabbinic tradition of judaism they did not accept what we call torah shabalpa the oral tradition articulated in the mishnah and the talmud in the midrash and so forth they remained loyal only to biblical judaism and there was once a debate between the carrots and their brethren the traditionally observant halachic jews the famous gon of illness rebellio cramer's last name was kramer suggested who was a student of the vilnigan he came from the city of pinsk to represent the jews the jews in their debate against the carrots now one of the first issues that the kyries brought up in the debate was the fact that the sages throughout the mishnah and the talmud and throughout the halachic literature refer to the bill of divorce between a man and a woman as a get gimmel tests again this to them was proof that the rabbis disassociated themselves from the bible in fact they invented a new judaism in lieu of biblical judaism why did the sages the karate representative asked have to invent a new name for a bill of divorce the torah gives it a name in deuteronomy in the portion of kisetsi the torah calls it safer christos the torah says that if a couple is getting divorced the husband
