Being a Hirschian is much, much more than having a secular education and
working. See Rabbi Danziger's brilliant article
<a href="http://www.stevens.edu/golem/llevine/rsrh/danziger_tide.pdf">
<font size=3>Rav S. R. Hirsch - His TIDE Ideology</a> that I have

This is, IMO, the best exposition of what TIDE is that I have read.

</font>Just because one has a secular education, and advanced degree,
works and learns regularly does not mean that he or she is a follower of
TIDE as espoused by R. Danziger. <br>

I would like to point out that R' Krugman is totally charedi and lives in
a charedi community in Yerushalayim. True TIDE calls for close
identification with a dedicated, intensive Torah community. <br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">As Rav Schwab pointed out, it
says "Yafeh Talmud Torah Im Derech Eretz." Rabbiner Hirsch,
Rabbi Dr. Salomon Breuer, Rabbi Dr. Yosef Breuer, Rav Schwab, Dr. Leo
Levi, Dayan I. Grunfeld, etc. were all strong proponents of "close
identification with a dedicated, intensive Torah community."

The subject of my message was "We should all be
Hirschians," not "We are all Hirschians now." There
is a big difference in my mind.<br>
