R' MB:
*One assumes that embracing social justice is a goreia, the other,
*a chiyuv.
*
*The flaw in RMYG's lumping social justice with feminism is that
*accomodating feminism means seeking what's mutar but never been done.
*Pursuing social justice doesn't inherently raise such temptations for
*envelope stretching.
I was not saying that there is something wrong with embracing social
justice. No less than the Ramchal promotes it in the Hakdamah to Mesillas
Yesharim. But, if a movement makes it one of their guiding principles I
think that it is very telling, especially considering that R and C have,
under the label "Tikkun Olam," made it a centerpiece of their religious
expression.
