hey, i do love radicaltorah, its one of the best torah sites ive seen. N ive showed it 2 all my friends.
Much love
Seems like a great idea. Particularly if it engages dialogue between people not ordinarily part of the same conversations.
I know that criticism is never well-taken but, well, when you have a chance a less classicaly Christian banner would be great. Between the human depictions of angels and the Gothic script, I don’t know, associating the iconography with the Torah gives me the willies.
