Coming from a Jewish Rabi of some influence, I'll summarize it.:
It is not to say that the story told through Moses is factually true, the Torah is not a history book. It is to say that the words are as given by God to Moses. Are they actually true, partly true, based on historical facts, is the question. Or are they given to convey a message of faith and guidance, much the same as a Christian would view a parable of Jesus? The Torah is not a history book, it is a book of theology and faith.
God is not man that He should lie. That which He told any man to include in His Story is both Truth and history of then, now or the future.
A Jewish Rabbi of any level of influence has not reconciled the life, death and resurrection of the Son of God, his own Messiah, and therefore has neither the discernment or revelation to understand his own faith fully which has been true of all of that faith and office for over 2,000 years.
