Dear HaKatan,

I have never met anyone who is as serious about hashkafah as you just posted, who did not have gaping holes in his outlook. Relax! It is perfectly okay for people to think differently than the way that you prefer. There is no basis to the idea that the average yeshiva person can formulate a yeshiva hashkafah. Or that the yeshiva tradition is more accurate than any other. Or that there is not a serious lapse of truth in the yeshiva version of history. All groups are in the same boat on this. You can not monopolize deep thought processes. Somebody has to actually think then through.

Real spiritual growth and damage is dependant on actions. Yidden did not swarm to Reb Moshe and Reb Aaron because of their hashkafah. Most of those who went to them, knew little of what these two luminaries really thought. They were drawn to them by the sincerity of their noble actions. Observing them for a day is worth more than all the wisdom we can come up with.
