Just because something was done a certain way in the Alter Heim, doesnt mean it should be repeated
I said nothing about the alter heim. In 21st century United States of America, most mainstream bochurim are better off not using Artscroll.
I mean the Choeftz Chaim learned by Candlelight even after Electric lights were invented.
Is that a criticism?
Does it have anything to do with this discussion?
There is a reason ArtScroll is there
I didn’t say it shouldn’t be. I just said that some people will not benefit, and in fact will lose out, by using it.
and in many cases by encouraging people not to use it, they are actually hurting the learning
But in many cases you’d be hurting them if you advised them to use it.
