Note: The pseudonymous author of this essay is an avreich learning in a Chareidi kollel. The essay is written in yeshivish style, with Hebrew terms (written out in Ashkenazi pronunciation) glossed only once per term if at all. We hope that with the aid of honest discussions about Torah held at TheTorah.com, people like A. Avreich will in the not-so-distant future feel comfortable writing in their own name without fear of communal repercussions. – Rabbi David Steinberg (Rosh Chodesh Elul 5773)
