We need not agree, but we should love on another. I am a fellow learner who didn't grow up in the culture and language. i agree with what you said (not all have the niqqudot). There are thousands of scrolls that were found in Russia and other countries when the country gained more freedom / government changed.
Some have never been opened. They were moved, cataloged and stored. The number of requests to see each scroll is recorded. Many are now able to be viewed on line including about 1% of what is there. I may do a post on these items.
With that hope and goal, I agree entirely :)
I'd be interested to see the Torah scrolls that you are referring to. Though I have heard of the lost (some now found) troves from the USSR, what you are suggesting about the nikkudot, is new to me. You make me wonder about their story and function.
I'll look for your post!
Can you help me to be present in d sound @hebrew
