Thank you, that is a fantastic explanation.

>It's a lot of needling logic, but that's the point. It's a complete flex in using logical systems to determine legal frameworks and answer hard questions in the process.
Stuff like this is what got me hooked on the Talmud.

The level of detail everything has, from tiny laws about who owns fruit fallen from a tree to the exact size and direction synagogue doors should face is impressive, but the consistent logic behind it all is unbelievable at times. Nothing comes close except maybe the Greeks in a different way.

Follow up questions:

1. I tried reading the Zohar but it really did not click with me the same way the Talmud did. I got the feeling I was really missing a lot and gave up on it. Should I give it another go or will non-Jews not really get much out of it?

2. I've never really had the chance to speak with anybody about the Talmud until now. Do Jewish (religion) book clubs exist or any places to talk about this kind of stuff? The only Jewish book clubs by me are full of old Jewish ladies reading sad romance novels.
I thought about going to a synagogue and asking to talk torah with the rabbi but I was afraid that I would come off like pic related.

3. How well received are computers and the internet among the conservative and orthodox Jews and how are they managing to integrate technology into the religion if at all?
