Avigdor Miller himself was pretty "modern" as it happens. If you(/we) feel the Talmudic guidances have changed in regards to women since then that's one thing, but to "diss" Rav Miller's "Cheridishkeit" is another.<br /><br />I personally believe he's a great speaker to listen to if you're some agnostic writer.

I thought they were only preached by female teachers who are trying to feel good about cleaning floors and changing diapers. <br />The fact that this was put down in writing by a man, shows how much of an ideology this has become and not only for the fanatical religious people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-60049414025633916822009-08-25T14:35:07.597-04:002009-08-25T14:35:07.597-04:00Thanks!

Passion has its noble uses, but it does something terrible to clarity of thought.<br /><br />AWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
