Practicing and Preaching
Over the weekend, I had the privilege of listening to a lecture by Rabbi Dov Linzer, Rosh Yeshiva of the Chovevei Torah Rabbinical School in Manhattan. His theme was "Orthodoxy and Orthopraxy*", and appropriately he started his talk with this wonderful quip:
An itinerant rabbi was visiting the local community and was invited to address the congregation from the pulpit. Before commencing, he was warned by the in-house rabbi: "Make sure you speak loudly, the agnostics in here are very bad."
* Practice without belief, my dictionary tells me.
(Does that make an adherent of Orthopraxy an ortho-pratt? Just kidding, non-believers, just kidding.)
