What particularly moved was the sense of him recognizing that his time was up and that, however many more years he might live, this was no longer his world and that he no longer had the ability to influence events. <br /><br />Anonymous <br /><br />I think this is an Izgadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03869626126435460209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543853523791774463.post-49084059272945214442010-03-10T08:41:21.664-05:002010-03-10T08:41:21.664-05:00No, they shan't ever sled again.

Any other version of Torah observance is, by definition indefensible and illegimiate and therefore not worth arguing with.<br /><br />Presto!

Rabbi Feldman is a gadol, but his views are not wholly in accordance with those of the Modernisch. Rather than attacking the book, we should be content on drawing the line in the sand and accepting the differences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543853523791774463.post-50091665620592266862010-03-09T23:42:18.922-05:002010-03-09T23:42:18.922-05:00For someone who focused his life on literature, R ...For someone who focused his life on literature, R Lichtenstein seems to have no sense of how to write. "Shall we ever sled again?" How lame can you get? The turgid prose reads like a blog I would not read, and leads one to question the extent to which the hoary scholar delved into the Miltonic universe he ostensibly trained in.
