    … 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?

    What were you expecting?

    Approval? Applause? Appreciation?

    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.

    Not necessarily.

    It’s one thing to trumpet your way of life. It’s should not be necessary to condemn everyone else in the process of doing so.

    You’re right, Wolf.

    It should not be necessary.

    But people enjoy it!

    And who are we to deprive them of a little enjoyment?
