Not that I have any magical answers about any of this stuff, but I do continue to believe in the system, imperfect as it is. Brainstorming on how to build a better halakha is always a good use of time over coffee... hey, Joe–

I would actually like to find time to sit down and chat about halacha, cause being at Pardes and learning more about the halachic system has encouraged me to give up on the dream of a progressive halacha that would actually compel people to do good things in the word. It would take such a radical redefinition of halacha, that I do not think it could still be called halacha. I would love to return to a less cynical perspective on halacha. can you lead me back? : ) amen!
