He practices an all-encompassing Judaism though in the spirit of Rav Kook (who was inspired by both mitnagdim and chassidim).<BR/><BR/>When I said he was close to those movements, I meant he often refers to their teachings in his shiurim as well as refered to them affectionately on many occasions.Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17338318181126488692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13258686.post-65727268188053586122007-11-26T16:02:00.000-05:002007-11-26T16:02:00.000-05:002007-11-26T16:02:00.000-05:00"Its not celebrated as a holiday.
