Amen to Fred's posting! Madeleine Cohen Oakley (a Conservative Jew working in a [modern] Orthodox day school) > Hanna -- > > I think quality is a universal, not a specific value. I have seen (as a > member of the Sydney Taylor Book Committee) wonderful books from Orthodox > publishers, and ordinary ones from mainstream presses. I tried to identify > the "angle of vision" in my reviews, but beyond that I wanted my praise to > be directed toward the content and the valuable qualities of the individual > volumes. > > Yes, I do believe the best Orthodox press books belong in liberal school > and synagogue libraries, and that the opposite is also true. We may differ > on our perspectives both individually and communally and on many levels. > But our commitment to excellence in professional responsibilities should > over-ride our diverse opinions. > > Fred Isaac > Temple Sinai > Oakland, CA
