Kollel Iyun Hadaf Sanhedrin 022: v'Zos ha'Torah
Kollel Iyun Hadaf Sanhedrin 022: v'Zos ha'Torah Sanhedrin 022: v'Zos ha'Torah Josh asks: Sanhedrin 22 discusses whether the Torah was given in ksav ivrit and when it switched to ashuris and brings proofs from history including Daniel My q is when we say “vzot hatorah” in shul when the Torah is lifted what do we mean if the Torah was originally in ksav ivrit. We pasul a Torah even for an extra letter, but then turn and say that this torah in ashuris is the same as one in ivris? Follow on q, if the Torah was in ivris, how do we understand Moshe rabbeinu in r akiva classroom (menachos 29) darshaning the tagin, since ksav ivris doesn’t have tagin. Thank you! Josh The Kollel replies: Thank you for your essential question. You are asking about a very complex Gemara, and there are many different opinions how to understand the Gemara. The Gemara you cited is the opinion of Rebbi Yosi
