[Avodah] We should all be Hirschians

>>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]  <<

It is true that at some level, "we are all  Hirschians now."   Every 
ArtScroll book that is written in English was  written by somebody who received a 
secular education.  The same is true of  the people who write for the 
English-language Yated.  The charedi community  may not consciously realize that they are 
actually Hirschians, but they  are.
 
I would like to point out that R' Krugman is totally charedi and lives in a  
charedi community in Yerushalayim.  True TIDE calls for close  identification 
with a dedicated, intensive Torah community.
