GAW: You rock.
wallflower: “Our schools say that they welcome questions. I have a feeling many orthopraxes did not bother asking, because saying it and meaning it are two different things.” Hah. Not true. To be honest, I go to a school where they really, genuinely do welcome questions. If anyone’s figured out what school I go to, you should know that- it’s 100% true. But that doesn’t mean that the teacher always has an answer. That’s NOT a fault on the part of the teacher- teachers don’t always have the answers and I can accept that. (There was a spinoff from baiis yakov maidel’s thread a while back that discussed this.) Perhaps they don’t know, perhaps they don’t want to get into it (that one I respect a bit less but I can live with it).
But honestly, there are orthoprax people who really do want to know. (Though I agree with VM and I honestly don’t think that orthopraxy is a thing. Uninspired Jews, perhaps, but not orthopraxy.)
