Modern society
which society?
it seems to me that, much as this will be rejected, modern society means the Goyish society.
seems to me, that modern orthodoxy is founded on the desire to integrate being Jewish and following ALL Halachah, with the manner of conduct of modern society, which is the modern Goyim, as long as it does not directly conflict with concrete Jewish Law.
that’s how it seems to me. ie denim jeans, sneakers, baseball caps, movies, novels, sports, tv, radio, newspapers, magazines, politics, college, university education.
to the MO advocates, am i in the ballpark here?
