dialogue

B.E.
I wanted to ask – to what extent does the Rabbi engage in dialogue with the positions that disagree with him in the religious world. There is a feeling (and sometimes his honor also explicitly states this) that the Rabbi treats the various positions as a straw man, without even reading them, even though there are answers and references to the positions that the Rabbi presents. For example, to present the various ‘neo-Chassidic’ positions, the Rabbi presents Rabbi Doron (whom the Rabbi does not know and who is also probably not ‘educated’ in the sense that he can provide external justification for his thinking, unlike other intellectuals in this world). I have never seen the Rabbi address thinkers personally in a dialogue (I may be wrong or exaggerating, but that is the spirit of the matter).
Also, and His Honor knows this firsthand, the ability to explain through text is always fragmented and partial, especially with complex claims that are not exactly presented in a syllogistic manner, and therefore live discourse is essential for understanding the other side.
