So perhaps, Avira, one can promote an ‘ethical orthodoxy’ on the basis of rachmanis, so long as it’s within bounds of halacha. Seems it would be fair criticism if a large number of Jews aren’t acting with kavod habrios. I do think it is a problem to call such a movement anything other than Torah Judaism. No need to create new labels. If we need to show more compassion, needs to be reflected as a mainstream value.
