“If the Enlightenment philosophers had engaged the Jewish halachic and ethical system on its own terms rather than sidelining it, the world might look a lot different today.”——-the key is “on Its own terms”. Pride gets in they way
Regarding “When separated, we can fully appreciate the design, the balance, and the wisdom Jewish ethical tradition has carried all along.”——-okay, this sounds like a crystal refracting light!
Regarding “In this Jewish ethics project I have been developing, by consciously separating Jewish ethics from halacha, I have unconsciously surfaced the brilliance of both. And this is why I believe that this is the first secular ethical framework that proves that faith is not necessary to be a moral person, a key goal of secular philosophy for centuries.
My AskHillel AI bot allows us to finally recognize this moral architecture on its own terms. It does not seek to undermine halacha’s authority, but to show that alongside its structure lies an ethical system equally ancient, equally rigorous, and deeply humane. When separated, we can fully appreciate the design, the balance, and the wisdom Jewish ethical tradition has carried all along.”——
So is this like dissecting a cadaver?
Is one part like a skeletal remains of Judaism?
And then one can use this without faith,
so as to maybe “be a gentleman” rather than a crass gauche person or criminal?

Or how can one separate G_D’s Laws from Himself? Aren’t they what harmonizes the universe?
