That will be fascinating,
It will be interesting to see how your philosophical perspective was shaped along the way from your Mazurkhan childhood to your secular adulthood, and then your return to Lithuanianism in Netivot Olam, Ponevezh, and including Chazon Ish, while studying academically at Bar Ilan and your studies at Yeshiva Yerucham, etc.

I’ll leave that to my biographers. Maybe to Bibi when he has time, to publish Part II: Mikhi – His Life Story

By the way, there was no secular phase.

It's more romantic if there's a secular phase.

The description on Wikipedia is a bit misleading. "After military service, he approached secular views (although, according to him, he never felt like he belonged to this sector sociologically, but only in some of his views), but later returned to religion and even began studying at the Netivot Olam Yeshiva in Bnei Brak, the kollel of the Ponivez Yeshiva, and the Chazon Ish kollel (in parallel with his academic studies)." It's good that they changed the wording.

What's up with some new book???? I'm eagerly waiting

In my opinion, the most important thing is that the rabbi publish a systematic book on 'concepts, definitions and conceptual ambiguity'. It seems that many series of lessons and columns deal with this. In these subjects, the rabbi has enormous added value compared to what is available in the field

I am aware that today the world has moved to media, etc., etc., but still a systematic book that will go through this is extremely important. If I had money, I would give the rabbi a considerable amount on the condition that he isolate himself for a few months and publish a book on the subject.

In the 2nd chapter of the book of the Hebrew Bible, the 3rd chapter Some will deal with his scholarly world and some with his halakhic method, some with his place in general philosophy and some with his relationship and place in Jewish thought, rational and mystical. Some with his relationship to art and some with his political world, and it is certain that for every ‘thesis’ that is put forward – dissenters will arise and offer ‘counter-theses’.

So why should you wait for someone to ’do the work for you’? Pick a topic that interests you, choose an academic supervisor who will guide you – and … to the work!

Sh”l,

As usual, your long response has no connection to the content of my words.

I did not write a ‘summary’, nor a ‘chains’, nor a ‘sources’, nor a ‘history’. I wrote a book about definitions and concepts. And the intention is not a book that summarizes the entirety of his own positions, but a book that illuminates this subject of ‘concepts’. And as he did in other books, so is possible in the current book.

All the blah blah blah you wrote is irrelevant.

No’ – Shalom Rabbi,

And my suggestion stands: Why wait? You start collecting materials from Ramada”a's teachings on the subject of ‘concepts, definitions and ambiguities” or whatever you want. From the arrangement of things, perhaps a method will emerge for you that gives a common direction to things. Then the thinker will surely respond, add and subtract, open or negate, and together things will become clear and integrated.

This is what the hermit rabbi did when he sought to find a ‘method’ in the teachings of his wise rabbi. The rabbi gave him his notebooks and he began to edit and create edited chapters, which the rabbi went over and added and subtracted, and thus the scattered things are connected into a systematic work.

And as usual, my words are broader than the narrow framework of the direct topic you are interested in. They are also correct in Yishai's suggestion that the rabbi write an autobiography, and in other suggestions of this kind that come up here every morning. Instead of suggesting that the rabbi write – You begin and the rabbi will open and complete. Even the great and mighty Rhine River begins with small tributaries that connect to a powerful river.

With the blessing of creation, Atzmon Hai Nahari-Peshitzky
