> One of their leaders even dared to create a �new Torah,� that is, a Five Books of the Torah, but not as it was given to Moshe from Sinai. Rather, he omitted many verses and many sections and laws that were not proper in his eyes. He is prepared to print this new Torah, and this he will teach the youths in the schools. And this will be one of the functions of the Bank: to establish schools for youths to educate them in the aforementioned path.
And this was definitely scary – and it did not survive as many other ideas of non-religious Jews. You can’t say that this was not worth paying attention to, of course, as so many Jews were going after various -isms, but we should be grateful to Hashem that things turned out better than feared.
