RNS i have just been reading up more on Rabbi Hirch and ended up on a site slifkin.opinions.blogspot.
There he discusses rabbi Hirch and it bewilders me how you ommitted certain pieces of his writings.
If you omitted this on purpose then i feel betrayed. Betrayed because I have been visiting your blog now for over a year and now i am honestly not sure i can beleive everything you say.
If this was unintentional than maybe it would be wise to research a topic thoroughly before posting it for the public.

The Hirsch letters are long. I posted the most relevant part on the blog. In my book, I discuss how Rav Hirsch was skeptical of evolution. In general, Rav Hirsch was quite reasonable in being skeptical of 19th century science. But that's not so relevant.

In any case, I would never want you to accept something I say merely on my "authority." Always check things out yourself.

Just FYI, Cherry hill is nowhere near NY. It's a suburb of Philadelphia, about 90 miles from anything that can reasonably call itself New York.

Pinny,

You should be sceptical of a blog that thinks two references are "countless" refutations.

Rav Slifkin,

When do you see yourself coming to Australia?

Hey, I grew up in that Cherry Hill NJ shul's neighborhood. Sure it's technically part of the Philadelphia metro region but it's reasonably convenient to New Yorkers willing to drive the ~100 miles.

Leave around 6 to catch the 8:00 am minyan at the shul or, dare I say, the 8:30 minyan at the breakaway Young Israel down the block.
