Christians do not reject the truth of the Torah; Talmudists reject both the religious practices of Judea and the Judean priesthood’s interpretation of Judea’s law code

Are you referring to my analogy or this tweet you replied to? I can’t imagine the subteties of the Aramaic change the basic relationship b/w the two religions. Do I need classical Hebrew to judge whether or not Samaritans participated in the Temple cult?

Returning to the original point, to have an informed opinion on the Talmud and whether it is an authentic representation of mainstream Judaism as practiced in Jesus' days, you need to study the Talmud, Mishna and contemporary sources like Josephus.

So, when you e.g. read Jesus complaining about the Pharisees' enlargement of their phylacteries and fringes, you can understand what he is talking about, where these phylacteries and fringes come from, and what he's NOT complaining about.

What is fake is pretending that the religion of the Talmud is the same relgion as that of the Temple It is as dumb as pretending the Samaritan are the same as the jews/judeans when in fact relations b/w them were proverbially frosty (despite common origin)
