An openness to learn, however, should not be mistaken for the blind adoption of all Gentile standards. Much in modern life deserves our opposition. But those insights that strengthen Torah, which make Jewish identity more vibrant and more central, deserve our study and our adoption. In cultivating those insights, we harvest a growing Torah. By adding to the riches of our heritage, we assure its continued greatness.
Newcomers are welcome.
