MK Moshe Gafni (Degel HaTorah) issued a statement Monday afternoon cautioning against interpreting the words of Torah sages. 'The words of the Torah greats are the Holy of Holies of the Jewish people, and by them we live,' Gafni said. 'Whoever does not live in the world of Torah and does not understand the depth of their words, it is better not to rush to interpret them, and certainly not to attack them.' The statement did not specify which remarks or events prompted the warning. Gafni has been a prominent advocate for legislation protecting the Torah world, as previously reported by The Zioneer.
