The Godly aspect in Torah and mitzvot is the recognition and feeling that the Torah is not ordinary wisdom and the mitzvot are not ordinary laws, but rather they contain G-d's will and wisdom. This was what the Greeks fought against - "to make them forget Your Torah and transgress the decrees of Your will" and as stated (Genesis Rabba chapter 16) "Write... that you have no portion in the G-d of Israel." The entire war was against Godliness - let them study Torah, let them fulfill the rational and testimonial commandments, just don't mention that it is G-d's Torah and that the mitzvot are the decrees of His blessed will, don't mention the aspect of Godliness in Torah and mitzvot. | The Godly aspect in [[Torah]] and mitzvot is the recognition and feeling that the Torah is not ordinary wisdom and the mitzvot are not ordinary laws, but rather they contain G-d's will and wisdom.
