To the author:<br />I find it extremely ironic that you should judge Rav Katz by calling him a heretic as opposed to showing how he was wrong in his analysis. This is a clear example of the difference in approach between OO and the Haredi mindset. Rav Katz says there is a difference in chazal’s procedure to that which was in the torah. Instead of proving him wrong you go with a general philosophical attack that is just not relevant to his claim. It may as well be ad hominem. I am afraid that if you are afraid to meet someone that you disagree with head on and try to shut him up by crying ‘witch’ then you really have no leg to stand on. You can’t protect judaism by shutting people down because they are not allowed to make those kind of comments or ask those kind of questions. OO are being open minded, they are providing the answers and showing how they all fit into orthodox judaism. You are being close minded and stating that these questions just can’t be asked in orthodox judaism. If you want to get anywhere, you need to actually give some answers.davidhamenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-83670911219148878432014-08-04T22:19:54.193+03:002014-08-04T22:19:54.193+03:00In scanning the article it is clear that Open Orth...In scanning the article it is clear that Open Orthodoxy is pure, pristine apikursos and should not be granted any leniency of consideration at all.<br /><br />The end of the article seems to say let's work with these people to make sure they stay within bounds. It's ridiculous. Apikorus yisroel kol dipakar pakar tfei. Tzai tamei tomar lo. <br /><br />Everything possible should be done to prevent any graduate of this poisonous philosophy from gaining any foothold in an Orthodox congregation or organization.FactsofLifenoreply@blogger.com
