… or does it seem like practically every thread with the words “Modern Orthodoxy” in the title are nothing more than (a) direct condemnations of the movement or (b) attempts to “redeem” them from their sinful, woeful ways?
The Wolf
Wolf, this is theyeshivaworld!
What were you expecting?
Approval? Applause? Appreciation?
It’s not just you.
It’s just you.
You’ve got it all wrong. In fact, my opinion of modern Orthodox rabbis is that they are nothing but a bunch of OISVORFS.
IME “Modern Orthodoxy” is a straw man that a lot* of black-hat Orthodox Jews use to make themselves feel better.
*Specifically, the ones who need to feel frummer than other people. This is not by any means a tenet of black-hat Orthodoxy.
You’re right, Wolf.
It should not be necessary.
But people enjoy it!
And who are we to deprive them of a little enjoyment?
It is not just you it is sickening.
