Important to note there, that the Rabbis, never made anything up.

Every one of their words was, a divine download up to the Rebbe.

Besides for that they used the same system to draw conclusions, the 13 Principles of the Torah, “Shalom Esrei Middot hatorah.” To expound, explain, what the Torah said, and from what law explicitly stated in the Torah, we derive the oral law from. These 13 principles are the key to the Talmud.

All of the stories too, are true and the sayings have all profound lessons and meanings. The notion that the Oral Torah, is separate or less meaningful than the 5 books, is just an indication of one’s lack of understanding of the Faith. Both Talmuds were received on Mount Sinai orally to Moses, and witnessed by all millions of Jews that stood there. Not only that, but every Jew also heard it, because we all have One soul. That truth can exist at the same time as the fact that it was written down in a trickle effect over the generations by divine inspiration. Reply
