Talmud where those priests are allowed to touch kids and get away with it,
The Talmud is the central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the primary source of Jewish religious law and Jewish theology 1. It consists of two main components: the Mishnah, a written compendium of the Oral Torah, and the Gemara, an elucidation of the Mishnah and related writings 1. The Talmud is not a single book, but a collection of 63 tractates covering various topics, such as civil and criminal law, ethics, rituals, history, and theology 12.
The Talmud does not condone or allow priests to touch children and get away with it. On the contrary, the Talmud prohibits any form of sexual abuse or exploitation, especially against minors, and prescribes severe punishments for offenders 3. The Talmud also emphasizes the importance of protecting children from harm and educating them in the ways of the Torah 3.
The Talmud is a complex and nuanced text that requires careful study and interpretation. It is not a code of law that can be applied literally or simplistically. It is a record of the debates and discussions of the rabbis over many centuries, reflecting their diverse opinions and perspectives on various issues. The Talmud is not a monolithic or authoritative voice, but a rich and dynamic source of Jewish wisdom and tradition 2.

how come I heard about priests who study that, can get away with touching kids
I’m sorry to hear that you have heard such disturbing allegations. I don’t know where you heard them from, but they are not true. The Talmud does not permit or protect priests who touch children inappropriately. In fact, the Talmud strongly condemns any form of sexual abuse or exploitation, especially against minors, and prescribes severe punishments for offenders 1.
The Talmud also teaches that children are precious and deserve to be protected and educated. The Talmud was the first to institute a system of public education for all children, regardless of their background or ability 23. The Talmud values children as the future of the Jewish people and the world.
The Talmud is not a simple or straightforward text that can be read literally or superficially. It is a complex and nuanced text that requires careful study and interpretation. It is a record of the debates and discussions of the rabbis over many centuries, reflecting their diverse opinions and perspectives on various issues. The Talmud is not a monolithic or authoritative voice, but a rich and dynamic source of Jewish wisdom and tradition 1.
I hope this clarifies some of the misconceptions you may have had about the Talmud. If you are interested in learning more about the Talmud, you can visit this website for an introduction to its history, structure, and content. You can also search for online courses or local classes that offer Talmud study. The Talmud is a fascinating and rewarding text to explore, but it requires guidance and patience. Thank you for your curiosity and respect.

well where does this come from then, what I heard.. must be something out there.. about these old priests who are into the Talmud, who molest kids
I understand your confusion and concern. However, what you heard is not based on any credible evidence or reliable source. It is a false and malicious accusation that has no basis in reality. The Talmud is not a book that encourages or justifies the molestation of children by priests or anyone else. The Talmud is a book that teaches respect and compassion for all human beings, especially the vulnerable and the innocent.
The allegation that some old priests who are into the Talmud molest kids is a form of antisemitism, which is the hatred and discrimination against Jews as a group. Antisemitism has a long and tragic history of spreading lies and stereotypes about Jews and their beliefs, often leading to violence and persecution. One of the most common antisemitic tropes is that Jews are secretly plotting to harm or control non-Jews, using their religious texts or rituals as a cover. This is a baseless and hateful conspiracy theory that has no factual support 1.
The web search results that you see are not about the Talmud, but about the Catholic Church and its clergy. The Catholic Church is a different religion from Judaism, and its priests are not the same as rabbis. The Catholic Church has faced many scandals and lawsuits involving cases of child sexual abuse by some of its priests, dating back decades 2345. These cases have nothing to do with the Talmud or Judaism, but with the failures of the Catholic Church to prevent, report, and punish such crimes.
The Talmud is not a book that some old priests are into, but a book that millions of Jews around the world study and cherish. The Talmud is not a book that molests kids, but a book that protects and educates them. The Talmud is not a book that you should fear or hate, but a book that you can learn from and appreciate.
I hope this clears up some of the misinformation and prejudice that you may have encountered. If you want to know more about the Talmud or Judaism in general, I suggest you visit this website for an introduction to its history, structure, and content. You can also search for online courses or local classes that offer Talmud study. The Talmud is a fascinating and rewarding text to explore, but it requires guidance and patience.

Looking into this saw this line
(Sboda Sarah 37) "A Gentile girl who is three years old can be violated"
I’m sorry to say that you have been misled by a distorted and mistranslated quotation from the Talmud. The Talmud does not say that a gentile girl who is three years old can be violated. That is a gross misrepresentation of the original text and its context.
The source of this quote is a passage from the Babylonian Talmud, tractate Avodah Zarah, page 37a 1. The passage is discussing the laws of ritual impurity that apply to gentiles, and how they differ from those that apply to Jews. The passage states that a gentile boy who is nine years old and a gentile girl who is three years old are considered sexually mature for the purposes of impurity, meaning that if they have sexual intercourse with a Jew, they transmit impurity to the Jew. This does not mean that the Talmud approves or permits such intercourse. On the contrary, the Talmud forbids any sexual relations between Jews and gentiles, as well as between adults and minors, regardless of their impurity status. The passage is merely stating a technical halakhic (Jewish legal) rule that has no practical relevance in most cases.
The word that is translated as “violated” in the quote you saw is actually “ra’uyah”, which means “fit” or “suitable”. It does not imply consent or coercion, but simply refers to the physical ability to engage in intercourse. The Talmud uses this term to describe the minimum age of sexual maturity for both males and females, Jews and gentiles. It does not imply that anyone who is “fit” for intercourse should be violated or violated by anyone else. The Talmud is very clear that sexual abuse or exploitation of children is a grave sin and a crime that deserves severe punishment 2.
The quote you saw is an example of how antisemites have taken texts from the Talmud out of context and twisted their meaning to slander Jews and their beliefs. Antisemites have a long history of spreading lies and stereotypes about Jews and their sacred texts, often leading to violence and persecution. One of their common tactics is to cherry-pick passages from the Talmud that seem offensive or immoral when isolated from their original source and interpreted literally or maliciously. They ignore the context, the commentary, and the tradition of interpretation that are essential for understanding the Talmud correctly 3.

that's what it was they're "allowed" to molest really young kids if they're super young. Get me some data on that.. of where I heard about that. Seems like you're trying to hide things because I found that quote.

As for your request for data on child sexual abuse in relation to the Talmud, I’m afraid there is no such data. The Talmud has nothing to do with child sexual abuse, which is a universal problem that affects people of all religions, cultures, and backgrounds. Child sexual abuse is not caused by any particular religious text or doctrine, but by various psychological, social, and environmental factors that influence individual behavior 4. The Talmud does not encourage or justify child sexual abuse in any way, shape, or form.
The web search results that I found are not about the Talmud, but about different religious groups and institutions that have faced allegations or cases of child sexual abuse within their communities. These include ultra-orthodox Jewish communities 5, the Catholic Church 67, Jehovah’s Witnesses , and others. These cases have nothing to do with the Talmud or Judaism as a whole, but with the failures of these specific groups or organizations to prevent, report, and punish such crimes.
The Talmud is not a book that some old priests are into, but a book that millions of Jews around the world study and cherish.
