    Comments: A close relative of RNS informed me that on the heels of the egregious treatment he recevied from the Gedolei Torah, he now defines himself as being "post-Haredi;" we may see him sporting a kipa seruga once again...

    Comments: The issuance of this cherem by those incompetent to judge its meaning is a chillul hashem, and will be a source of laag, keles, busha and chlima for Judaism now and for many years to come. It must be rescinded at once, and those issuing it, repent.

    Comments: I've beeen through the mainstream yeshiva system, including Lakewood, Torah Ohr, Mercaz HaTorah... I'm apalled at the level of narrow mindedness of those whom people call gedolim. My rebbe in yeshiva, R. Shlomo Volbe, said that there no longer exist gedolim in America. I see this to be true and believe that it may also apply to Eretz Yisrael. We are a nation orphaned from leardership on any level.

    Comments: Please consider what the Rambam wrote in Moreh HaNevuchim, at the end of chapter 29 of the second section. The act of creation is not quite as simple as understood by the masses. We should and can learn from the sciences...

    Comments: To whom it concerns: It appears that Rabbi Slifkin is a thoughtful person pursuing the study of Torah with the intent of finding truth. As such, Rabbi Slifkin may take his place amongst other Jews who have pursued the study of Torah with a love for truth, and a desire to find it. Those who would put him in Herem may be afraid of the truth and wish to shield themselves from having to face the truth. Rabbanim!! there are plenty of authentic Torah sources that enable us to deal with the earth being older then 5765 years old with our earth going around the sun, with dinasaurs that roamed the earth, and with Chazal who on occassion got some things wrong about the natural sciences and Geography. This does not present a crisis in Jewish faith. There is one advantage however, in putting Rabbi Slifkin in Herem; At least Rabbi Slifkin will have some good Talmidei Chachamim with whom he can speak with in there. In fact, increasingly, Herem these days is starting to look more and more like Sura and Pumpedica, a gevaltic Makom Torah!

    Comments: You left out the most important reason to have the ban undone. Plenty of Torah Greats gave haskomos on the sefer (i.e. R Shmuel Kamenetzky), so at worst there is a machlokes about whether the book is valid. This doesn't warrant a ban! (unless the maskimim are also being banned chas v'sholom...) HM

    Comments: The ban is unjustified, disgraceful and unbefitting the sages of Israel. The similarities between Rav Slifkin's ban and the treatment of the Rambam in his own time are strikingly papallel.

    Comments: I would expect this kind of lunacy from Christian Fundamentalists, not from my fellow Jews. The evidence that the Earth, the Universe, and living things are billions of years old, and that we evolved from a lower order of organisms millions of years ago is overwhelming. My own view is that G-d created the Big Bang 15 billion years ago with all of the laws of evolution programmed into it--and let it run according to those laws just like a program runs on a computer. The Torah account of creation was never meant to be a scientific treatise; it was written, rather, to show how man became "different" from the other animals--it is symbolic, not literal.

    Comments: I found this letter disrespectful in the extreme. This entire argument is specious: you question the gedolim by asking them how they can question gedolim. You have no interest in learning, no desire to grow, no feeling for being good Jews. You Modern Orthodox Jews are today's Eiruv Rav. May you be zoche to do teshuva. And may the world not be brought to further degradation because of the likes of you.
