Recently my rabbi asked if anyone thought there was anything in the torah that was not relevant today. I said “Sure, there’s probably something.” To which he responds “Name one.” Off the top of my head I say “Well It’s not like you see many men today walking around with 15 wives or anything” and he said that that was still relevant because rabbis have decided that that is a problem so we don’t do it anymore with a pretty lengthy explanation about how some women can’t have children but it is still relevant to today’s society. Can anyone list some things that you don’t believe are applicable in today’s society? Verses, commandments, examples, anything really. He said that every word in the torah is still definitely relevant (with the exception of some things regarding the holy temple) but I would just love to have a conversation with my rabbi where we can dive deep into what is or is not relevant today, I just don’t have the knowledge and would love your help!
(sorry if that’s a really lengthy question, i don’t really use reddit so 😣)
