rabbiofberlin: actually the modern invention is to relegate the torah to ‘halachic’ matters only. The torah (i.e. God’s will) has what to say about all matters, mundane and spiritual.(Actually there realy is nothing mundane in a jew’s life but that’s another subject). The one who has aquired daas torah knows what Hashem wants in all matters. The modern jews separate Hashem and his Torah from certain areas of the physical world thereby demonstrating that they don’t really believe in achdus hashem and ein od milvado. This is not the proper forum for blasting modern orthodoxy, which is a modern invention, but believe me I’ve got plenty of ammunition.
