I am a Jew. And the Torah makes so much sense to. The laws that G-d wrote I see purpose in them and I see why I am supposed to follow them. So I do to the best of my ability. The Talmud however, does not make so much sense to. Personally I think that each Jew, or each person for that matter, should interpret the Torah fr themselves. G-d made me. He knows what I can do. And he made me to interpret his Torah the way I am supposed. The way I interpret it may only apply to me. I don't know why the Rabbi's in the Talmud have more say on how Hashem's Torah applies to my life than I do. I follow Judaism that G-d made in the Torah. I have trouble agreeing with the rules four mortals interpreted or misinterpreted hundreds of years ago. According to them I can't listen to a woman sing because it might tempt me. But if I'm her family I can hear her sing. But it's also a mitzvah to marry your aunt. I really think that I should interpret the Torah for myself. I also think that my interpretations are open to discussion and can be shared with everyone. But I do not think that anyone should take my interpretations as law. I think people should read the Torah and follow it in the way Hashem tells THEM to follow it. Many people look at the Talmudic laws or commandments and they ask "why?" They don't understand why they have to do thing but they do it. Well I know "why." But I only know "why" as it pertains to me. Maybe we can discuss it and we'll both learn a deeper "why" that will apply to both of us. But I am not going to tell anyone that they're "why" is wrong. I am not that person. And it would be insulting to Hashem to say to that person that someone Hashem created is interpreting the Torah Hashem created incorrectly. Hashem created both. He knew how the Torah would relate to everyone. If you interpret the same way as the Talmud, then by all means continue. Hashem created the Torah for you to interpret it like that. You are not wrong. I am not wrong. Many facets of my Judaism line up with the Talmud. Some don't. Some I disagree with because I was not created by a specific Rabbi hundreds of years ago. And that Rabbi did not write the Torah. I was created by Hashem. I was created by the creator of the Torah. I for one will read the Torah and follow the Torah as Hashem has created for ME.

Why the Big Bang created the Universe and G-d Clearly Didn't

What if we made an online temple to connect every Jew, with a server based in Jerusalem?

Maybe we are Meshiach. All of us. All the Jews as one are Meshiach. Maybe it's not just one person, but a collective group of spirits and souls. That's what it could mean that when the Bet Hamikdash is built Meshiach will come. Maybe every Jew is supposed to come and build the Bet Hamikdash. If every Jew brought one piece of wood and nails, the Temple could be built in a day. And Meshiach will already be there. As everyone is there. And the dead will rise. Not the physically dead. But, the physically living; the spiritually dead. We will have made this world a better place for Hashem so he could inhabit it. And it may not be one person. It will be all of us. We are all Meshiach. No more waiting for him to come. Meet me in Jerusalem with a piece of wood and he will be there.
