charlie: I know several, actually. They are well-meaning, certainly. I don’t think they wake up each morning saying, “How can I destroy Torah”. I do think, however, that even the most well-meaning of them wants to change Judaism because they feel it is too paternalistic, oppressive, homophobic, etc. I think they have a great love and appreciation for the Jewish community and what they think Torah is. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be in any Yeshivah at all. But the fact is, because of their distorted notions of right and wrong, what they have set out to do is to change Judaism from a Torah way of life-i.e. destroying Judaism.
