Rabbi Yom Tov Glaser - Jewish Thought: 70 Faces of the Torah

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

what I want to share with you guys let's go we got a whole class today what shall we do that's really new yeah can we talk about the 70 faces uh we couldn't talk about that yeah and we talk about that a bit um think I'm thinking a bit that because I'm I'm not in the biggest resource state in the world to teach something that has a powerful like a strong outline rather than my usual usual my usual uh go with the flow class but maybe I'll share a few minutes on it and that is the the there's 70 faces for every word every letter really in every word of Torah which makes the understanding of a particular sentence in Torah to understand what God truly meant by that sentence would become almost impossible become almost impossible because if you have every word with 70 possible meanings so if you have a sentence with seven words in it it's untranslatable you can't translate a sentence at all but someone might say well what's this book here I mean isn't this the translation of the Torah I didn't think it says so here newly translated maybe this is a translation maybe this is a translation well how could that be what's a better word for translation if every word has 70 meanings what would be a better word for a translation interpretation you and this is really an interpretation of the Torah this is not a translation of the Torah the Torah was not translated until the Greek Empire the Greeks caused the 70 elders who are the high court and they they locked them
