“sounds like you went to the same BY as some of my daughters, where “modern” was used as a generic put-down. ”
Nope. I went to a religious zionist coed day school and went to religious zionist youth groups and summer camps until my late teens. Most of my peers became secular non observant adults, many joined the yeshivish community and a few moved to Israel to join religious zionist communities that don’t really exist here. Modern orthodoxy proved to be unsustainable and i made changes so i could hope for a committed lineage.
“There is no connection between O-O and Rav Soloveichik’s Torah. ”
Exactly my point
