Reply To: Tanach in Yeshivos

“Rabbis who believe in secular education as an ends to itself, feminism, LGBT rights, bible criticism, evolution, gender theory, and tons of other issues…are…a threat to Judaism.”
I agree 100%.
Those people, though, find themselves increasingly being pushed away from MO and into the title of ‘open orthodox’ as (real b’nei torah) MO becomes frustrated with those who masquerade as da’as torah.

It is my understanding that Rav Shechter’s goal is to ‘frumify’ the Israeli gov’t. Given this, plus the fact that Israel stands as a an island of Jew support, I think Rav Shechter’s statement, though admittedly a tad more dramatic than I would like, is not the heresy you make it out to be.
