Nisht: All I see from your response is a “No it is not”, without any S’varah, a “your comment is disgusting” without explaining what disgusts you (you do pasken from dreams of Rebbe Nachman, don’t you realize that is a bit silly?), and an ad-hominem attack on the SAR principal. Is that really all you have to answer? Anyone else want to give it a shot?

I have no idea if the SAR principal or Rabbi Twerski are “not competent” (I wouldn’t know either if they bumped into me on the street), but that is not the argument that Rabbi Twerski made (which is what I was discussing, not the general incompetence of a specific individual). I guess you personally know the SAR principal (maybe you are a member of the SAR board?) and can attest to his incompetence? Otherwise would you care to explain why you believe he is incompetent? Remember that Hilchos Lashon Hara should apply.

Oomis: I also applaud (Softwords got there first!) your thoughts.

Trust 789: What I heard (IIRC) B’shem the Rav is that he suggested that the women put on Tefillin without Parshios for a month, and then revisit the decision whether to actually wear tefillin.

P.S. I actually (think I) have a very good analogy. A Sephardi girl who wants to make Brachos on Mitzvos Asah SheHazamn Grama.
