Disagreement with Rabbi Prof. Schnarb
Question
Hello Rabbi,
As best I understand, the Rabbi disagrees with his colleague Rabbi Prof. Nadav Schnarb regarding public issues such as the reform, the government’s conduct, and the proper way to protest.
I would be glad to know what the main points of disagreement between you are. How does the Rabbi explain the differences in approach, or Rabbi Schnarb’s opinion (in the sense of giving a charitable explanation of a Torah scholar’s view)? After all, your intellectual worlds seem quite similar, both in secular matters and in sacred ones. Have you spoken with each other about these issues?
Answer
I’m not familiar with his view. We haven’t had a chance to talk about it.
He writes about it a lot on his Facebook. He seems like a major intellectual.
