This is a Jewish/Noachide caucus article. It accepts the Oral as well as Written Torah and the authority of the Sages and their legitimate successors.

Without the Oral Torah, the Written Torah is nothing but a string of consonants with no vowels or punctuation. Every translation of the Bible into any other language assumes the accuracy of the Oral Torah in getting the vowels and punctuation right. If you are going to reject the Oral Torah, you'll have to throw all your Bible translations away.

You're in someone else's house of worship on this thread. If you wish to dispute or criticize the Oral Torah or the rulings of the Sages, please do so on another thread, not this caucused one.

I believe in past discussions the “Jewish/Noachide Caucus” designation includes Reform, so-called Karaites and Messianics who do not accept Oral Torah or the Thirteen Principles. Such makes “Jewish Caucus” nearly meaningless.

I do believe, however, that a caucus designation could specify “Orthodox Jewish/Noachide Caucus.”
