KAJ Today

From the KAJ website:

"KAJ also bases its approach and structure on Rav Hirsch's philosophy of "Torah im Derech Eretz", which encourages involvement in the modern world under the dominion of Torah without any compromise of loyalty to Torah and its precepts."

We hear all kinds of doubting that KAJ is TIDE anymore. We hear of WWIII as Aaron Rakeffet describes the altercation of a few years ago at the bicentennial. Nevertheless, the website makes a declaration of TIDE.

  1. Just curious: Where has Aaron Rakeffet called it WWIII? (I have heard of the incident itself.)

    1. One of the YU lectures. Might have been this one: https://www.yutorah.org/sidebar/lecture.cfm/719300/rabbi-dr-aaron-rakeffet-rothkoff/2006-12-25-rabbi-joseph-breuer-and-how-rav-hirsch-differed-in-thought-from-rav-soloveitchik-concluded-/
