Haifagirl: Right. Thanks! Though I’ll note your post was a sentence fragment. As was that. And that. 🙂

Squeak: It’s simply not true that all Orthodox rabbis who don’t wear a charedi uniform or veer toward stringency went to YU. It’s certainly not true outside of the US, and it’s not even true here. Even if the MO congregants rely to a significant extent on YU-ordained rabbis, that doesn’t mean they have exposure to the philosophy of TuM, or that they identify with this philosophy specifically. Why would pulpit rabbis give sermons or shiurim about such abstruse topics as slight differences between theoretical models of the ideal relationship between secular and Torah knowledge?
