Jews trace our Oral Law to Mount Sinai, in Hebrew and English.

As I pointed out in my posts - this statement you make "We Jews trace our Oral Law" is false

It's not "Jews" - it's specifically Rabbinical Judaism that has this Oral Torah.

The Karaite Jews and the Jesus-movement-Jews do not have this Oral Torah --> and the Sadducees and Essenes in the past did not have it either

It is what allows, for example, for a Moabite woman to convert....ergo Ruth, Ovadua, Jesse...David. --> Ruth pre-dates the Oral Torah as seen in historical terms. The Oral Torah is NOT mentioned at all prior to the Babylonian exile. And when it IS mentioned, it is not by the Levites or High priests but by rabbis. This Oral Torah cannot trace itself back to pre-Babylonian exile times.

And it isn't formalized until well AFTER the Jesus-movement Jews form their structure - so the Oral Torah derived Rabbinical Judaism is NOT the "older way to worship God"

What can I tell ya.... if you have to make literal explanations on a delicatessen joke... there’s no hope I guess.

No, you or your (Kaarite friends?) website tell you “rabbinic Judaism” is something different. Jews do not say so. So who to believe?
