You left out the part where I said that R.. 
Shraga Feivel Mendelovitz told a yeshiva bachur the same thing.

To gain a true understanding of Yahadus one needs 
the ability to comprehend the entire body of 
Torah knowledge.  The vast majority of Jews 
cannot do this and never did or will do this..
RSRH does this for us in his writings.

An important point. Is Judaism a religion?  RSRH 
says it is not.  Do you know why Yahadus is not a 
religion? Rabbiner Hirsch explains why it is not.

If one does not know why Judaism is not a 
religion,  then one most certainly does not truly understand Judaism.
