“Machshavos, don’t just make assertions, show us what you’ve got.”
R. Ahron Soloveichik, I believe, is one name of someone who would differ. (You can look at his Logic of the Heart, Logic of the Mind.)
For those who are not aware, MANY would argue with the view in DaasYochid’s source.
If you think that a talk on Tu B’Shvat (which the Rayim Ahuvim website currently says is the topic) will contain kefirah and will therefore also be lifnei iver, that’s your right. I guess no-one will really know until they hear the speech.
With regard to “legitimization,” I don’t know. Is anything more than a speech legitimized when a speaker is given a podium? When politicians speak at yeshiva dinners, are the yeshivas endorsing every value and action of the politician?
DaasYochid:
1. I don’t know if you’re familiar with the book The Soloveitchik Heritage, but if I remember it correctly, R. Aaron Soloveichik differed with you on Jewish law and other jurisprudence.
2A. I don’t know that he’s legitimizing anything.
2B. That sounds like a pretty strong statement, assuming (as I am) that you don’t know if what you’re saying is true.
DaasYochid:
1. Are you arguing that the study of Jewish law cannot benefit from insight gained from general jurisprudence?
2. You didn’t answer my question of “why shouldn’t he allow her to speak in his shul?”
DaasYochid:
Why should we care if the fellow who runs the Tikvah center wears a yarmulka? And why shouldn’t he allow her to speak in his shul?
It doesn’t look like anyone answered the original question. I believe the answer is yes, the editor is frum.
HaKatan: I think I disagree with you. Can you clarify what you mean by “traditional Orthodoxy?”
Are there moderators on this thread? How do you allow such slander of rabbis and bloggers?
