Man I wish it was like that
In reality the talmud is an endless legal codex telling you how many hours after eating meat do you wait before dairy and how many days after menstruation you can fuck your wife (in both cases, too long)
What length is a proper tzitzit and how many arm spins you do with the straps of the tefilin... Etc etc etc
But wait, there's more! Rabbi Shmegeggle from Vilnius said X, very controversial, he is a big khukhem in the torah but it contradicts the Rambam, oy vey big makhlokes! Etc etc etc
>But Rabbi, how do i light the khanukia properly on Hanukkah?
Well, i can answer that quickly, but I won't.
First I'll tell you about the meaning of the mitzvot, and why there are תריג of them (613)
It does teach you to be a mentch in between the lines, community, charity, humility... But it's like a medival pleb manual to achieve these things by acts rather than understanding. Since Rambam Judaism doesn't care so much if you believe so long as you act right
Thank you for attending my bar mitzvah
