You’re right, don’t be caught up in the ‘balance, subtlety’ stuff if it makes you uncomfortable; that was only a part of a part of the follow-up to the main arguments that I made. So far, I think only one of those points have actually been contested with any sort of reasoned argument–by one person, nevillechaimberlin.

The sevara is that here it wasn’t ‘converted’ by Jews–already before it reached the hands of even the secular Israeli Jews who translated it, it had become largely associated with the ‘neutral’ rainbow gatherings and the like, and the meaning of the vague keyphrase of the song ‘I feel it in my soul/ruchi ve’nishmasi’ was/is open to whatever the person singing it has in mind. This is one of the main points I mentioned in the beginning.

The YWN cofferoom is obviously not a place where psak is happening. This is sort of like a virtual beis medrash–at least re these Torah-related topics, I’m not sure about the summer camp stuff :)–where we are all sharing our views and judgment calls on these Torah topics, while ultimately it is the view and judgement call of your Posek that will decide for you practically.
Does that make things clearer?
