    ldwdfellow – thanks, I read the book many years ago and just looked up who the author was for reference to any who might want to read it.

    YBT from a Talmid

    I have heard it all from the first days I learned in YBT. We were Kofrim, Logicians, Not Really Frum, and so on and so forth.

    I am not sure what criteria some of you are using to define Torah Judaism, but lets start with some basics. If you agree that knowing that Hashem gave us the Torah at Sinai, that we have in our hands the commandments and body of laws (i.e. Halacha) he gave us there, that we are obligated to follow this body of law, and we do not have the right to change, add or subtract from those laws, then YBT is squarely and absolutely Torah Judaism. The rest, as they say, is commentary.

    Finally, if you really think that Rabbi Chait or any of his musmachim are violating Halacha, then the correct forum for this accusation is in a Beis Din, not as anonymous postings on a web site.
