There is clearly a desire on the street to “grow” Orthodoxy and invite into it those who have been heretofore excluded. But the way to satisfy this demand is to inspire the respect of both admirers and skeptics — to present credible role models who are even better prepared than are the traditional alternatives. In doing so, we will be introduced to progressive institutions and personalities who can lead and inspire us with both their mastery of and respect for tradition as well as their innovative legal and social views.
