Hello Rabbi,
In column 469 on the conversion polemics, you brought the words of Rabbi Melamed and Rabbi Tabdi and Rabbi Schatz, who take Rabbi Melamed’s sources and analyze them. The Rabbi commented on the hidden biases that exist on both sides (each of them interprets all the events to his own side) and I wanted to ask the Rabbi which of the two interpretations is more correct, Rabbi Tabdi or Rabbi Schatz? Who aimed more towards the truth?
I don’t remember now, and it’s about several sources. In light of what I said in the column, I assume you can understand both my position (which doesn’t necessarily agree with these sources even if their interpretation says something specific) and the correct interpretation. If there is one source that you are satisfied with, you can bring it up here and present the sides of the doubt and ask.
By the way, why don't you ask this in Talkback for that column?
I'm relatively new, I didn't know that's how it's done (= regarding the talkback for that column), and I understood the rabbi's position and connected. However, regarding the sources - Rabbi Uziel - I didn't understand how Rabbi Tabadi interprets his explicit words: "It is permissible and commanded to accept converts and proselytes, even though we know that they will not accept all the commandments", etc. And also regarding Rabbi Mashash, both of them say completely opposite things (= Rabbi Tabadi and Rabbi Shatz)
Did you read what he wrote? He explained it. Read inside, and if there's something you didn't understand or disagree with, write it down.
