Reply To: I Guess I’m Pulling for the “Chabad Media” Now?

I’m not trying to “prove” anything. I’m trying to caution you that listening to a bunch of recorded shiurim does not put you on the same level as someone raised in the yeshiva system, and that comes across very obviously to everyone reading. Case and point, davar Torahs are inherently less likely to take a literal approach on anything since anyone could just go and read the Rashi or pshat for themselves. That doesn’t mean the pashut pshat is always “stupid;” it just doesn’t make for an interest table talk.

Again, you’re free to have problems with the mainstream Orthodox approach, but don’t pretend to be an authority on something you know less about than the people with whom you’re arguing.
