Rabbinical laws

Rabbinical laws

Words or enactments established by the scribes (the scribes were sages of Israel and great Torah scholars from the days of Ezra the scribe until the Tannaim. The notes on the reading and writing in the Tanakh are attributed to the scribes).

("Regarding material in 'Words of the Scribes' versus 'Words of the Torah,' one who says that tefillin are not necessary to fulfill the Torah's words is exempt; but five additional amulets to add upon the Words of the Scribes are obligatory" - Sanhedrin 31c.)

דְּבָרִים אוֹ תִּקּוּנִים שֶׁתִּקְּנוּ הַסּוֹפְרִים (הַסּוֹפְרִים הָיוּ חַכְמֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וּגְדוֹלִים בַּתּוֹרָה מִימֵי עֶזְרָא הַסּוֹפֵר וְעַד לַתְּנָאִים. הֶעָרוֹת הַקְּרִי וְהַכְּתִיב שֶׁבַּתָּנָ"ךְ מְיֻחָסוֹת לַסּוֹפְרִים).

("חֹמֶר בְּדִבְרֵי סוֹפְרִים מִבְּדִבְרֵי תּוֹרָה הָאוֹמֵר אֵין תְּפִלִּין כְּדֵי לַעֲבֹר עַל דִּבְרֵי תוֹרָה פָּטוּר חֲמִשָּׁה טוֹטָפוֹת לְהוֹסִיף עַל דִּבְרֵי סוֹפְרִים חַיָּב"- סַנְהֶדְרִין יָא ג).
