So it is no wonder that Susan calls my view "silly".It must be talmudically correct. The Chassidic and Misnagdim movement were just questions of style. The laws were the same age old Biblical laws that G-d gave to Moshe. Of course there were periods during biblical times that saw Jews transgress the Torah, but the overall general rule was Torah Judaism (Orthodoxy). Out of simplicity I refrain from a long winded discussion. Asher Schechter
