The Yoke of Torah

 In Rabbinical "Judaism", they speak a lot about the Yoke of burden of Torah, which one must accept.

This includes thousands or more of rabbinical acts which are contrary to or unfounded in the Torah itself.

The Torah, however, has its own view, and this disagrees with the rabbanites.

Deut 30

10 if thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul. {S}
11   For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not too hard for thee,   neither is it far off.

12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say: 'Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it

13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say: 'Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?'

14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. 

Firstly, it refers only to the laws Written in the Book of Torah - so the this is the totality of the so called "burden" of Torah - ie , no talmud, mishnah, midrash, shulchan aruch etc - which compounds the burden a thousand fold or more.

Next, the  Torah is not in heaven  or across the sea - it is not the burden that the rabbinic books and ordinances falsely impose upon their followers.

So the idea of religiosity that rabbinics hold is actually in itself a violation of the Torah.
