The recognition if you really tuned in to the Ein Sof when learning torah, is after the learning you feel humble as the mishna says when learning Torah L'ishmo you become a Univ.

Rabbi Jacobson: Can you please repeat the questions people ask before responding? They sound interesting, and the response is fascinating, but I think we'd all gain more if we can hear the question too.

Thank you!

The comparison was made between Hashem
Making many variations on nature and people's various views in Torah.

But....it was Hashem Himself who directly made all the variations in nature. It was only because the yidden became spread around and had imperfect recollections of oral law, that variations occurred and were later written down.

This is a huge difference

Unless you say HasheM knew in advance that these variations would creep in

If letting go (bitel)
means not thinking or asking questions anymore, seems it contradicts what and how Gd made us. We're made to think, to ask.... You've said that often I think. So I am confused. The paradoxes continue.

Both Beis Hillel and Shamnai are
Conveying the will and word of Hashem,

But....it seems to me that Hashem. gave a singular oral law with a singular meaninat Sinai. Moshe did not give over, when teaching oral law, Hillel's view and Shammai's view. There was only ONE view.

What happened? As the yidden conquered abd entered and spread out in Israel, various teachers in various yeshiva had differeing recollections of Oral Law. These must be variations on the singular view Hashem gave but a side effect of being spread out instead of being in one place in the midbar. The compilation of the Mishna, itself a major violation of the rule against writing down oral law, merely "froze" tge extent of the variations that had crept in as of that time. The gemorah discusses these variations

"Can't make a chidush in Torah because
That is the person and his ego, nit Hashem's singular word ("laymor")

Yet, all the chazal and commenters tried and did come up witj chiddushim. Even today talmeidei chochomim are proud of themselves to come up with a chidush. Some say a neshoma comes down dafka to come up with that chidush.
