R' Elias's footnotes are great -- as a seifer of REED's hashkafah. The
implication that the comments are elaborating RSRH's ideas rather than
presenting a contrast to a hashkafah that has elements that are more popular
in many contemporary circles grossly misrepresents Rav Hirsch's thought.
Perhaps more useful to people in those circles, but not loyal to the text
whose name is on the cover.

Tir'u baTov!
