something to relate to. As if the Nations have been given a corrupted
Torah, worse corrupted than they themselves had corrupted it, so that
they would become sick from it, and then eventually vomit out the
whole mess, including their own corruptions.

Then there is the function of the exile of cleaning out Israel, not
by improving the good ones, but by taking away the weak ones, who
would fall for the lesser and then be lost within those Nations. This
happens easier when the surrounding culture has similarities, is a
more corrupted version of the same, rather than utterly alien and
bizarre.

With this said, it seems there is a rather obvious solution: the
laws of the Torah can still be interpreted directly by Judges, without necessarily needing to consult any Oral Tradition, or just taking such
a tradition as an interesting case of study and opinion, but nothing
more than that (human opinions, and thus fallable). This then opens
the door for the unification of the interpretation of the law, because
there is only one Torah. There is also only one land, one 'holy land',
Eretz Yisroel. The Judicial system can just start interpreting the
law, and so long as there is one ultimate highest chamber of Justices,
the law can be one and unified in the entire Nation. It certainly
does not have to follow Ashkenazi law for the Ashkenazi heritage people,
and Sephardi costums for the Sephardi, and Kairite jurisprudence for
the Kairites. I guess a Judge could just hear a case, and hear the
Kairite lawyer make his Kairite argument, and the Ashkenazi lawyer
make his Ashkenazi argument, and then he will eventually make a decision.
You could then start going up the Judicial chambers I suppose, and
for example the highest Court will eventually rule on what interpretation
of the law they are supporting (for cases where the interpretation
of the law itself becomes the issue, rather than something factual for example).

While this is all easily said, it will no doubt be quite difficult
to achieve in reality. The Zionist State certainly does not seem to
support the Torah as law, and hence there is no "law of the land"
principle, not one country. Unification of the law is still one thing,
whereas "correct" (good) interpretation of the law is still another
matter. Should the Torah be law in Israel ? I guess so, why not ?
It is their law after all, and though it has some rather harsh
punishments at times, I guess it can work for them.

Personally I would like to see Israel distribute the land to all, even
under whatever system, so long as it is good and prohibits markets in
land ownership in perpetuity. If they could only at least give the
example on this matter, it could help the world greatly.
