[Avodah] R.Hirsch and CR Hertz

[martin brody]

"You segued rather confusingly from Rav Samson Rafael Hirsch to Rabbi  Dr.
J. H. Hertz.  These two individuals are NOT philosophically
interchangeable.
Toby  Katz"

Seem pretty philosophically close to me, although CR Hertz was an unabashed
Zionist.
Hope you weren't trying to put the heterodox pin on him. That mistake has
been made often, and I'm not sure why. CR Hertz fought Reform and was a
passionate spokesman for Orthodoxy. Enlightened Orthodoxy as he called it.
Spend some time reading his essays at the end of each Chumash and you can
get his philosophy. But that's only part of it. Suggested reading.
Sermons,Addresses and Studies. It will open your eyes(and minds).
And he made the LBD into the force it is today.

And CR Hertz succeeded Dr.Hermann Adler, R.Nathan Marcus's son.
