The Talmud is the holiest book of Judaism

“In all decisions of law that express theology in everyday action, the Talmud forms the final statement of the Torah, mediating Scripture’s rules. Innovation of every kind, whether in the character of the spiritual life or in the practice of the faith in accord with its norms, must find justification in the Talmud.” Neusner, Rabbinic Judaism, op. cit. P 205

This is the saying of Rabbi Simon ben Yohai: “Even the BEST of the Gentiles should ALL be killed.” (ob shebe goyyim harog) This passage is from the original Hebrew of the Babylonian Talmud as quoted by the 1907 Jewish Encyclopedia, published by Funk and Wagnall’s and compiled by Isidore Singer under the entry, “Gentile,” (p. 617)

“If we see an idolater (gentile) being swept away or drowning in the river, we should not help him. If we see that his life is in danger, we should not save him.” Maimonides, Mishnah Torah, (Moznaim Publishing Corporation, Brooklyn, New York, 1990, Chapter 10, English Translation), p. 94

“Gentile souls are of a completely different and inferior order. They are totally evil, with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. . . Their materlal abundance derives from supernal (heavenly) refuse (trash or garbage). Indeed, they themselves derive from refuse (trash or garbage). . . According to Rabbi Zalman, “All Jews were innately good, all gentiles innately evil.” Habad: The Hasidism of Shneur Zalman of Lyady, (Northvale, New Jersey, Jason Aronson, Inc., 1993), pp 108-109.
