I have compiled the previous dozen or so posts, with some minor revisions, into a single document which you can download in PDF format here. Please circulate it as widely as possible. If you have a way of delivering it to the rabbonim who wrote approbations for the book, that would be helpful, and especially if you can encourage them to actually read it. Anyone concerned for the rationalist legacy, or anyone concerned with the honor of the Rishonim and Acharonim whose opinions have been rewritten by R. Schmeltzer, should strive to circulate this critique and to protest this book.
