I’ve read the Kaplan article.
As I expected we’ve gotten nowhere. How an intelligent person such as yourself can view such drivel as convincing of your position is beyond my comprehension.

I’m not going to do this again. I’m too tired forom the last battle on this topic. That Rabbis Cohen and Wein disagree with Prof Kaplan is their perogative. I certainly would not say that belief in da’as Torah is illegitimate. Nor do I discount the Judaic validity of those who adhere to it (as opposed to those who invalidate me as a believing Jew for my rejection of it) I happen to not accept it. The Kaplan article put into words that which I instinctively felt about the subject. The concept makes no sense to me. Feel free to brand me a apikoires if you wish. I really don’t care. Moreover, insulting those whose views I esteem will no more bring me to embrace the idea than will branding me an ignoramus or heretic.
