How to use this Website

Divrei Torah with a personal style and perspective; it may be negiyus but we enjoy them. Also, there is the occasional excellent insight.

These Divrei Torah are collaborative and iterative. Thanks to erudite and opinionated readers, posts almost never make it to the end of the week unchanged. If it doesn't make sense in the beginning of the week, check back later.

Some of these posts might require an investment of time and thought. While others are just divertissements and trifles, if you find nothing worthwhile here you're probably not paying enough attention. *** The writer of these posts is neither emotionally needy nor a narcissist; he writes for the pleasure of dialogue, for the benefit of intelligent criticism (which is incorporated into the evolving post), and so that readers might enjoy a novel Dvar Torah, *** The yeshivishe jargon may put some people off. This writer doesn't understand Pound or Derrida, and he is not expecting them to accommodate him. *** A long time ago, the author received Semicha from Rav Rudderman (1977) and Reb Moshe (1985). Those yellowing documents are insufficient to establish the validity of his current opinions in halacha or hashkafa. Reliance on his opinions can only be the product of credulity or indifference. *** For the opinion of a great poseik I recommend Harav Mordechai Eisenberg, head of Kollel Hora'ah of America, at https://www.kollelhoraah.com/. *** This writer can be contacted at eliezere at aol.
