So embarassing to hear him shill for the "gedolim". His monotone practically screams, "I don't believe a word I'm saying, but if you're stupid enough to ask me questions, and stupid enough to listen to what I have to say, and stupid enough to actually follow the "gdolim" after they intellectually mugged a fellow rabbi, be my guest!" <BR/>Slifkin presented the "wrong" side (Rambam, Ramban, Rabbi Hirsch, Dessler, et al.). What a disgrace. Leff is a joke. A couple of questions under cross-examination and I'd have him hanging out to dry. That's a talmid chacham? An "odom gadol"? Stop listening to him and you wouldn't be so upset.<BR/> <BR/>We used to have a great religion, which valued the mind, intellect, reason, spirited debate. No more. Right-wing orthodox Judaism is an absolute farce intellectually. It won't debate a paper bag for fear of hearing a hashkafah it (chas v'shalom!)disagrees with. Is it not too late to join the Karaites?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
