So I found this blog post MoVinG oN and was just shocked... but then I remembered that every community has their own crazies...
I really hope that my generation and the next can convince the oldies that the world truly has changed.
I had this idea, and I was chatting it out with a co-worker, that we get a bunch of rabbis (or make it interfaith) to sit down and "re-write" the Torah for a modern day audience. What would it say? Would Noah's flood be Hurricane Katrina? Would G!d have written something about cell phones on shabbis? What about the common abuse of the shabbis goy?
At some point we have to realize it isn't the middle ages anymore...
Anyway, just one woman's thoughts.
(FYI - I am not an official representative of anything or anyone except for myself. And I don't have a mechitza on my comment wall.)
