Well, Andy is well able to defend himself on substance but I think we should also look at form. I'm sorry not to be able to quote the specific text. It seemed to me that Andy was expressing a personal opinion. His flavor of Orthodoxy is the only kosher form for him. Fine. I follow a Conservative tradition. If someone wants to tell me that I am thereby less (or not) Jewish, that's his or her problem, not mine. French Horn to accompany the shofar on Yom Kippur? GROSS! In the Reform Cong. where I was raised we used a Trumpet which is obviously what HaShem intended! I, for one, am grateful for the diversity of Judiasm.
