NP > Can you unpack what you mean about “the analysis of Mitzvot”
There are different ways to analyze Mitzvot. Do you mean: (1) legal parameters, like the Talmud. (2) reasons, like the Chinuch. (3) Something else…
I don’t want to give one narrow definition – just whatever is relevant to the specific student or group. I guess I am just extending the idea of not forcing. Learning a daf according to all commentaries is forcing a specific discussion on people who are not obligated or motivated to do it. I am for discussing a particular sugya – whether how to light candles or whether it is justice v. peace – and going to corresponding gemoras for understanding. I disagree that Gemorah is limited to “legal parameters”. As someone asked R Salanter – what is the source for your “unorthodox” teachings. He said – “gemorah”. The other person: “I don’t see it in the gemorah” [AAQ: this means this person knew a gantze gemorah]. R Salanter – it is in _my_ gemorah. See Rambam for his definition of “gemorah”.
