[Avodah] Sridei Eish (R’YY Weinberg) on synthesis

[Rich, Joel]

The Sridei Eish (R’YY Weinberg) on synthesis
“It is impermissible that this synthesis should be confined in narrow and minuscule borders, such as the invention of a Sabbath belt in order to make possible the carrying of house keys on the Sabbath, or the discovery of a cream for shaving without razor; and the like. Rather this endeavor is broad and deep, and thus it is required and compelled to be. It is your responsibility to continue it in this direction: not merely utilization of technical means born of Western progress in order to conceal our Jewishness or to still the conscience, but penetration to the depth of the sources and plumbing them anew for the purpose of flowering of the spirit and a complete synthesis of Torah and life. (LePerakim 333).”

 (Me – this beautifully describes what I aspire to)

KT and Be Well
