Title: Not Particularly Helpful
Product review: Kellner has his typical axe to grind once again. However, in this case he is in good company. Unfortunately, he does not really indicate that his entire thesis is not particularly original and can be found throughout traditional literature, particularly in the writings of the far-right R' Elhanan Wasserman and R' Abraham Isaiah Karelitz (Hazon Ish). I was particularly disappointed not to see any citations from R' Zvi Hirsch Chajes.He also does not point out that Maimonides' thesis on this topic is implicitly against the famous Epsitle of Rav Sherira Gaon as well as R' Yehuda HaLevy's Kuzari. See Isadore Twersky's Introduction to the Code of Maimonides p. 62 ff.Rather, Kellner prefers to score political points against the ultra-Orthodox by pretending that they are not aware of this concept.
