How does your discussion about bans and controversies compare to the academic work of Marc Shapiro?
ReplyDeleteFor those of us who live overseas and are isolated is there any chance of tapes of these lectures
ReplyDeleteLet’s support Rabbi Slifkin on Feb 13 & 14
ReplyDeleteWe’ve all gained from this cost-free blog forum which Rabbi Slifkin has provided. Isn’t it time for us to “give back” now in some small way by showing our support?
For those of us who live in the NY/NJ metropolitan area, going to Rabbi Slifkin’s lectures in Brooklyn on Feb 13 & 14 is a way for us to show our support.
Even if we have heard these particular lectures before, attending them now is a way for us to give back and support his work.
Between Motzai Shabbos and Sunday, let’s find some time in our busy schedules to show up.
See you there.
PS: You haven’t seen my screename here before because I’m generally a reader rather than a “commenter”. But I’m an avid reader, and enjoy reading all of your comments posted here in these discussions.
