[Avodah] AH"S

[Joel Rich]

I’m currently reading “Taaroch Lfanai Shulchan” based on the writings of
R’ Henkin HY”D. Besides helping improve my Hebrew, the insights into R’
Epsteins rabbanut as he wrote the Aruch Hashulchan put a sharp point on the
difference between a rabbinic authority for a diverse congregation and one
writing in a scholarly milieu. In the former, the necessity of taking into
account the impact not only on the committed but also those on the fringes
that could go either way is palpable. The communal resistance to change in
current practice also is a significant factor. The treatment of cantors is
a clear case in point.
