Torah is Torat Emet. What kind of Emet? Surely not the historical truth. What is truthful about history? How is that relevant to our time, to me? The Torah's message is for our time, to us. That is the Emet we must be looking for.
For many this is hard to understand. That is why superficially the Torah is an account of history. But, to state it nicely, in truth, Torat Emet does not have anything to do with historical accuracy of the Torah at all.
Torat Emet is Torah HaEmet.
