Question

Regarding the response to my question in (https://sheilot.com/answers/view/10504/) A. Is there no source? B. Today, after the Rebbe's permission, "a time to act," even the Oral Torah can be learned from books. C. Is there really no source or drasha for this, and is it just the esteemed rabbi's opinion? Thank you, continue to increase the soldiers for Torah and testimony.

Answer

Peace and blessings 

A. I have attached sources in the 'Source' tab.

B. There are many details that cannot be learned from books, such as colors and appearances. Mainly, analogy cannot be learned from a book, but from a rabbi who will say when the matter is similar and when it is not.

C. In the Talmud, there are several places where it is said that it is forbidden to instruct without the use of sages, (such as Sotah 22b, Chullin 44a), but as you noted, 'use' in the language of the Talmud refers to the entire Oral Torah. Therefore, the drashot do not fit our case.
