I simply note that such a theology can lead to hurtful and destructive conclusions. I do wish to take a moment to underscore the tradition's implicit and severe disapproval of slander. Judaism has a sensitive appreciation for the enormous power of words and the fragile preciousness of reputation.
Slanderous words hurt everyone they touch.
Recently, our community has been scarred by such destructive words. Some extremist voices in the Orthodox world attempted to delegitimize other forms of Judaism. Understandably hurt and angry, some non-Orthodox Jews responded with harsh and angry denunciations of Orthodoxy. And like all sources of power, words can either be a sacred force for healing and redemption or an evil force for hurt and destruction. It is up to us to choose and to accept the responsibility that comes with such power.
