Reply To: Describing Differences Between Jews

mr. gavra (see im learning): i dont get why you would compare the differences between litvaks and chasidim to the difference between a baptist and a methodist, but you wouldnt do so for the differences between modern orthodox and regular orthodox. the differences between modern orthodox and regular orthodox are much greater than the differences between the litvaks and chasidim. the litvish gedolim and chasidish gedolim recognize and respect the gadlus of each other and sit on joint rabbinical bodies (ie moetzes).for the most part that is not the case between modern orthodox and orthodox. there is no moetzes where the latter two jointly sit.
