avrah: your post is incomprehensible. First of all, the so-called “modern orthodox” name is an american invention and has absoluterly no traction in israel. You can speak about “dati leumi”- which means ‘religious national” and you would be correct.
Secondly- you don’t think that different generations impel different solutions? Did RSR Hirsch adapt to the nineteenth century? Did the early yeshivos in america -having limudei chol through high school- adapt to the americna model? Did the baal shem tov adapt to the problems of eighteenth century russia?
Of course, they all did. It is “jiftoch bedoiro and shmuel bedoiro” Every generation has its challenges. And -just for your attention- the matter of women in religion does pose a new challenge that was not here a hudnred years ago. How to solve it is the present generation’s role.
As far as Rav Ovadia shelita- yo udon’t tbhink his language was intemperate?
