So, if commandments are so important I would expect that the `wise` and `rightful` Rabbis would have excommunicated Benizri, Deri, Kazav, among other more serious religious sinners, and proven criminals. But they didn`t. This is obviously because commandments became insignificant in comparison with stereotyped rituals. Is the essence of Judaism all this folkloric stuff? Does this stuff is more important than evil and right? For me is OK with primitive rituals. But please let`s not talk about morals, ethics, and justice.
