,Rav Eliyahu Meir Klugman, a Rosh Yeshiva and 
Moreh Hora’ah in Jerusalem and the author 
of   Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch -- Architect of 
Torah Judaism for the Modern World, Artscroll, 1966, points out the following:

Clear knowledge and understanding of Rav Hirsch's 
views, insights and formulations can help one 
respond intelligently to most issues in Orthodox 
Jewish life. From Bnei Brak and Lakewood to 
Teaneck and Woodmere, from FFB to Baal Teshuva, 
from Chazon Ish devotee to modern Orthodox Jew, 
Rav Hirsch's teachings form an integral part of 
the world-view of the Torah Jew in the modern 
world, regardless of whether one takes an active role in that world or not.[i]
