If this were true, why are you agonizing over getting your rabbi's permission
regarding a marble-sized piece of sabbath bread? Surely, there are conservative
and reform Jews who do not depend on rabbinical halachic interpretations as
justifications for nearly every quotidian action. Perhaps, you should align
yourself with a more liberal sect of Judaism.
