in the world who read and revere Harry Potter than the Jewish people who read the Torah. The Torah is just older. The stories from before the founding of the Hebrew Kingdom are as fanciful and "real" as Harry Potter. If a large group gathered to discuss how Harry Potter teaches us to act in todays world is that comparable to your Torah group?
Or is it the tradition that matters. I, for one, don't put much stock in tradition. Like religion it can be used to propagate both good and bad.
