Feif:

Indeed – straight out of Rabbi Miller’s book. I don’t have it in front of me now so I can’t quote it verbatim, I’ll try as best as my memory allows.

“So this Rabbi, whose hair reaches to his naval, gets up and says, ‘Should we follow our Rabbanim like BLIND SHEEP…?’ Indeed, blind sheep. A Jewish nation without its Torah-true Gedolim as its eyes, are truly like blind sheep.” Read on. It’s in English. I think it’s in ‘Awake My Glory’.

In my Torah (Bible, for the uneducated) it says ‘????? ?? ?? ???? ??? ????? ??…?? ???? ?? ???? ??? ????? ?? ???? ?????. Then there’s the famous Rashi (I think quoting Medrash) even if they say of the right that it’s left. Excuse me, that’s the holy Torah I just quoted. (I think even the king james version has it too). Yes, people make mistakes. All humans. Do you think a proud modern orthodox is best equipped to discern those of our cherished true Gedolim?? Is that all MO has to offer – ??? ???? ?? ???????? It takes true Jewish humility and Yiddishe sechel to know HOW to have true Emunah. Dasan & co., Korach & co., did not. Wanna join??

I don’t have to put all my cards down on the table here, suffice it to say I’m brilliant enough to know how to use a computer. (obviously). I am truly blessed with a Torah – true upbringing to know how to channel my sechel into Emunah in HaShem and His Gedolim. Thank you Mommy.
