("For he who despises the word of the LORD"—this is an Epicurean... the profaner of the holy things... and he who reveals faces in the Torah not according to halakhah, and who shames his fellow before many, even though he has Torah and good deeds in his hand—he has no part in the world to come" - Sanhedrin 99a, and also: "Menashe son of Hezekiah who revealed faces in the Torah not according to halakhah, when he sat and expounded aggadot that are opposed to our holy Torah..." - Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef / Anaf Etz Avot, on Pirkei Avot 55, and also: "Was he among those rabbis who revealed faces in the Torah not according to halakhah to make flavors for the children of their generation as they desired?" - Achad HaAm / Derech HaRuach)
