AJN WATCH - the on-line voice of Australian Orthodox Jewry observes and comments on matters of interest to that community. We particularly monitor prejudice and monopolistic abuse of influence in the pages of the Australian Jewish News - the main source of information to and about Australian Jewry. We spotlight errors, expose misrepresentations and vigorously advocate our community's positions.
Has anyone else heard of this lady?
ReplyDeleteShould Rav Elyashiv, Rav Wosner and Rav Chaim Kanievsky be a little bit apprehensive about their positions?
If you take "Torah" in the very limited sense of "torah shebichsav", she is indeed one of the greatest scholars in the world today; I wouldn't be surprised if she knows Tanach better than all three of the gentlemen you named. Gemoro, not so much.
ReplyDeleteIf you take the time to read some of Avivah's writings, you will see that she is capable of providing an incredibly complex and thoughtful parshanut on the torah. See here for an example: http://www.matan.org.il/content.asp?id=203
ReplyDeleteIs she orthodox? And is how can she share the stage with Reform types?
