The ones who...<br />1. Have halakhic sources which back up their opinions.<br />2. Are not afraid of being asked questions.<br />3. Are not afraid of answering those questions directly.<br />4. Have answers which hold up to scrutiny.<br />5. Do not try to find the answer they want, but rather try to find the answer period, whether they are going to "like" it, or not.Esser Agarothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853681733864707489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32118121.post-39394336953310449012014-01-11T03:56:22.541+02:002014-01-11T03:56:22.541+02:00But you do what YOU THINK / YOU LIKE TO THINK G-d ...But you do what YOU THINK / YOU LIKE TO THINK G-d told you to do.<br /><br />It isn't the same as doing what G-d told you to do.<br /><br />I hope you realize this. All religious people commit the same kind of bias error. And they think the non-religious are just too polite to call them on it.tobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08305414574118988259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32118121.post-13356308221754446442012-12-17T22:40:04.471+02:002012-12-17T22:40:04.471+02:00That's because you still have your innocence. ...That's because you still have your innocence.

Thanks for writing.

I wrote: <br /><br /><i>"Rather, it is a criticism of a segment (just a segment) of the so-called 'Modern Orthodox' world."</i><br /><br />2. Agreed.<br /><br />3. Yes.<br /><br />4. Sometimes, people do not know that they are doing some incorrect, or in this case, not Jewish, unless they are told. Too often, we treat such individuals with kid gloves (which is sometimes the correct approach), and the response is, "Well, he's being so nice about it, it must not be THAT important."<br /><br />5. Certainly, and yes. What's your point?<br /><br />BTW, if you're on facebook, you can join our <b><a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/283537885020583/" rel="nofollow">Haveil Havalim Jewish Blog Carnival group</a></b>.

This is certainly not consistent with the hashkafa of Rav Solevechik or Rav Shimshon Riphael Hirsch. Its up to each individual to keep halacha fully. More importantly, why do we need to be critical? I think we all have some short comings, and its much easier to point out other peoples than our own.natureguidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03044718699631279854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32118121.post-62301917589966151012012-06-20T09:55:05.845+03:002012-06-20T09:55:05.845+03:00B"H - Boy, I like this!
