I was reading this article which explains that Ezra rewrote the Torah in an attempt to restore the teachings of the original torah:
Here is a relevant excerpt quoted from the article:
The Torah had been lost; idolatry had taken over. The Jews had been
exiled from their home as punishment...
@ali adding barriers around the laws of the torah is different than adding new laws to the torah. Women wearing girdles are a minhagim, dipping I'm Mikwah is also — MoriDoweedhYaAgob13 mins ago
@daniel Mikwoh is custom now a days. Also the decree for a Baal Keri to not recite torah or anything like that by 3zra is a "fatwa" in his time as seen in the gamoro which says it was his time. Mikwoh is not needed to Daven just minhag
@ali jewish fatwas of the talmud are based on torah n scripture. These fatwas can not be changed without Sanhadreen. Some fatwas are not for today's times but are still kept because of no Sanhadreen. These fatwas don't change or add to the torah back then and they don't change or add anything to the torah now. It is just fatwas which are helping keep the sharia of the torah be properly done. For example we have sharia to recite sham3 at night and day.
Fatwa was made to recite it in first quarter or night as to not forget to recite it because you will be tired and will go to sleep without saying it. Sharia is to say it anytime in th night. So if you have missed the fatwa time to are liable only to punishment on rabbinic grounds because you are not breaking sharia. And we as Jews as stringent to keep fatwas of rabbis because they only help keep torah and not desecrate it astagfurallah.
@daniel no problem, I want to join that blog and confront that jewish Muslim girl. She seems the same like that yamani jew who converted to islam in RaMbaMs time and tried to twist jewish writing n law in order to have sufficient evidence for his conversion to islam although he and certainly this girl has lack of common knowledge of judaism.
Only back then the Yamani Jews were uneducated and were in distress because they were being forced to convert that is why they asked helped from RaMbaM. In today's times no one(I hope) is dumb enough to listen to false claims like his and hers.
