This reminded me of this:
I mentioned to a friend of mine recently that I had borrowed Lamm’s Torah Umadda from the library and was reading it. He asked me why I hadn’t just borrowed his copy. He told me he of course has a copy- he is Modern Orthodox.
This friend went to Gush for a year, and then went to University of Pennsylvania.
So I was wondering: He was m’kayeim the “madda,” but what happened to the “torah”? Doesn’t the book say you need torah and madda both? Doesn’t Lamm’s Modern Orthodoxy call for both?
Why are you asking how they read the mishna? How do you read the mishna? Do you think yafeh torah im derech eretz means to work 50 hours a week and learn 5?
