Whereas in past generations we sat shivah for children who acted as Anat is acting, these days we are told that these are people with the halachic status of a baby who was kidnapped (tinok shenishba) and never taught what is right. Anat Hoffman is a tinok shenishba. I believe and I hope that with respect, and with ahavas Yisrael, we can communicate what is misguided about women putting on tefillin, women singing in public, women davening together with men, etc. But anger and hatred and sarcasm and scorn won't open her eyes. Just the opposite. They will help her grow her own anger and hatred towards chareidim.

I am sorry to say but after listening to a small amount of Rabbi Miller ZTL"s tapes, I must say, while he was a tremendous talmid chacham, I have walked away many times shaking my head at the racist vibe and statements he said. I will give him the benefit of the doubt, as to the time period he grew up in and that he was i believe originally from Baltimore which is on the cusp of the south.

Why did the Modi'a print it? Because feminism is alive and well, and disguised, within the Haredi communities.<br /><br />DY is absolutely right. So, following Torah, expecially when it's politically incorrect makes him a hater?<br /><br />Sure, it is up for debate as to the true status of the various individuals he mentions, and true, not being obligated to love someone does not preclude us from reaching out to that individual.<br /><br />Nonetheless, DY makes some good points, and the only counter argument I see here is name calling. I'm not at all against name calling. But, I do not use it as a halakhic counter argument, when that is what is called for.<br /><br />Esser Agarothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853681733864707489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-11670483503885312342013-07-14T13:35:17.979+03:002013-07-14T13:35:17.979+03:00And we stay in golus, the Beis HaMikdash remains u...And we stay in golus, the Beis HaMikdash remains unbuilt and the culprits say "Well it's not MY fault!"Mighty Garnel Ironhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571194550300367249noreply@blogger.com
