SJS, once more, while “everyone is a work in progress”, only MO redefines Halacha to fit modernity, and those MO standards are not “within halacha” as you claim, MO delusions to the contrary not withstanding.
As to your request for a quote, they quoted “Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveichik, Five Addresses”. I hope that satisfies your requirements.
As to your quip at the end seemingly mockingly implying that I don’t need any form of modern progress, you seem to believe that in addition to MO allowing you to redefine halacha, that you also are the sole claimants to everything pertaining to modernity outside halacha.
This is, of course, a mistake. Traditional Orthodox Jews are as savvy and engaged, within the bounds of halacha, as anyone could be with modern technology, including MO. Hashem created many nissim and niflaos, and it is obviously good to bring nachas to Hashem from those since they enable one to be a better eved Hashem.
But where “modernity” and, more accurately, “culture”, conflicts with halacha, like wearing short skirts, not covering hair (properly, if at all) going mixed swimming, Zionism, et al., where one would, therefore, be lacking in his serving G-d, then halacha takes precedence over modernity/culture for traditional Orthodoxy, unlike in MO where modernity trumps halacha, regardless.
I again want to emphasize that I’m not judging anyone but am speaking in generalities about a movement.
