The Rogachover Gaon, Harav Yosef Rosen, once gave a lecture to his students in which he proved that chametz is permitted on Passover. He then asked his students to refute his proof. They tried in vain to do so. When they gave up, the Rogachover opened the Chumash and read them: u¥n ̈g l¥k ̈`¥i ` l§e "Do not eat chametz" (Shemos 13:3). That, he said, is the only refutation necessary. All the intellectual people in the world cannot alter one sentence in the Torah.
We celebrate Shavuos because we saw our parents and grandparents, and they saw the same until the time of Kabalas Hatorah on Mount Sinai. We all said: Ep£r©I©e d¤U£r©p 'd x¤A ¦C x¤W£` l M Ex §n I©e e ̈C §g©i m ̈r ̈d l ̈k “We accept the Torah for its face value”. We have no questions, we follow to a tee what the Torah commands us with Temmimus and Emunah.
(Yehuda Z Klitnick)
