Outside the camp

It's become fashionable lately for articles in Charedi outlets to declare that much of Modern Orthodoxy is "Chutz LaMachaneh", "outside the camp" for various transgressions like coming out with a revised RCA siddur, or simply tolerating Rabbi Avi Weiss.

I kind of like the term Chutz Lamachaneh (חוץ למחנה). I proudly stand outside the camp of the nonsense that passes for "Torah True" Judaism. However, I already have a blog called The Evolving Jew, and I'm not planning to change the title. Still, I decided to grab this blog name for the future. In the meantime, please visit me at The Evolving Jew.
