There are people that are willing to sell to you a knockoff of an Armani or Calvin Klein. They are hoping you don't know the difference. And they are people that will buy a knockoff hoping that other won't be able to tell the difference between the real thing and the knockoff.
People that are willing to buy and sell knockoffs are not people of quality character.
The same applies to Torah.
Almost everything being advertised as Torah is not authentic. The actual books of Torah are very limited. The written Torah we know is the Old Testament. The Oral Torah we also have a good historical idea where it came from. We have no questions about the historical circumstances of the writing of the Babylonian Talmud, The Jerusalem Talmud, the halachic Midrash and the Aggadic Midrash. Some people may not care for the later. Ok. Some people don't want Armani or Calvin Klein either. But if you don't want to wear the real thing, then at least don't wear a fake. Don't learn and don't support fake Torah
