Quiz — יסודי התורה פרק ט׳

Question 1

Can the Torah ever be changed or replaced?

The Torah is God's commandment forever. No change, no addition, no subtraction. Anyone who claims otherwise is false.

Question 2

Can a prophet issue a ruling that seems to contradict Torah?

Temporary emergency rulings are permitted (like Eliyahu on Carmel), but never permanent changes, and NEVER permitting idolatry.

Question 3

What happens to a prophet who claims to permanently add to Torah?

A prophet who permanently adds or subtracts is a false prophet — executed by strangulation, regardless of signs or wonders.

Question 4

What role do legitimate future prophets play?

Future prophets don't bring new Torah. They reinforce existing mitzvot, warn against sin, or address current events with temporary rulings.

Question 5

Is there any mitzvah for which even a temporary prophetic exception is impossible?

The temporary emergency exception does NOT apply to idolatry. No prophet can ever permit it, even for a moment. This is the absolute red line.
