EXOD341 When it comes to Jewish thought, there is no one book that encompasses the correct Jewish view on any issue. Nor should there be. Unlike Jewish law, i.e., Jewish actions, when it was necessary to come to a consensus in order to form a generally unified Jewish practice, Jewish thought always permitted various viewpoints. This is even alluded to in the Torah itself. The Torah, on two separate occasions, tells us that when the Jewish people originally accepted the Torah and said, "We will do it." [This verse] This acceptance of practicing the Torah was said by the Jews in unison, as a total unified people. But a few verses later, when the acceptance by the Jewish people of the Torah practice and its ideas is recorded as, "We will do it and we will understand it," there the unity and the words "Yachdov"-"unified" and "Kol Echad"-"one voice," are conspicuously missing. From the very beginning, Jews understood that there could not be unanimity when it comes to Jewish thought. There is no one "right" idea or monolithic value concerning Jewish beliefs and outlook on life. Thus, referring to the joy gained from understanding of Jewish or Torah life, King Solomon wrote that the paths of Torah are pleasant, not the one singular path, but paths in plural, because there are many ways to understand the Torah in Judaism properly and legitimately. Maimonides makes the same point in his Mishna commentary (on Sanhedrin 10:3). He states that unlike Jewish law, which necessarily must come to one conclusion and follow one practice, when it comes to Jewish thought, one need not rule like any one of the various opinions. Judaism makes room for more than one attitude within the structure of traditional Judaism. Within the framework of Jewish tradition, there can be more than one proper path when it comes to philosophical ideas, ethics, and beliefs.
