		The Modern Orthodox experiment begins with the assumption that Orthodoxy can preserve its integrity and passion, and even be enriched, by its intersection with modernity, and that the interaction will allow Orthodoxy to bring to the broader world a clearer vision of the grandeur of Torah.

	Psychiatry and Materialism as a Modern Belief System - Orthodoxy, Ideology, Modern Mythology Parading as Science
		Modern psychology and psychiatry function as modern "religions" in that they are firmly believed, made up of a unique system of concepts and ideas (ideology), and enforced on everyone else whether you agree with them or not.
		The modern "materialist" or humanist condescendingly criticizes the religionist as a fool, and barks his demands at them to cease their infantile praying and misplacing of spiritual importances.
		This is often difficult for "modern people" to see, because one tends to become "stuck" within their own strictly defined belief system, which they don't recognize as a belief system at all, because they "live it", and instead, experience it as their own perception of "truth", but it is completely true nonetheless.

		I have heard countless times the expression, "he's very modern" used as a euphemism for "he is not strictly observant of all halakhot." This sense, that the more modern one is, the more lax his or her attitude toward halakha, does not engender respect among our young people for Modern Orthodoxy.
		Students who feel that Modern Orthodoxy is nothing but a compromise will ultimately either reject it (whether moving to the right or to the left) or live a life in which they are embarrassed by the religious lifestyle they lead.

	"Is Modern Orthodoxy an Endangered Species?" - by Rabbi Walter S. Wurzburger
		Similarly, Modern Orthodoxy's readiness to cooperate with non-orthodox movements on issues of common concern is interpreted despite, its protestations to the contrary, as a tacit acknowledgment of the legitimacy of religious pluralism and, allegedly, demonstrates a lack of commitment to basic Orthodox tenets of faith and practice, which insist upon the binding authority of Halakhah.
		Unfortunately, in the popular mind, Modern Orthodoxy is seen as a "moderate" brand of religion - a compromise between the rigorous demands of strict Halakhic observance and expedient concessions to secular life-styles.
		Before Modern Orthodoxy can reclaim hegemony in the religious community and become a vibrant and dynamic movement, it must demonstrate its total and unconditional commitment to Halakhic norms in practice as well as in theory.

		Modern Orthodoxy was inconspicuously placed on trial, and no one stood up to defend it.
		Modern Orthodoxy, they reasoned, is a complete failure because our educational system has unsuccessfully incubated an authentic commitment to Torah values and the modern project; simply put, religious fervor and committal stand no chance against a braving materialism.
		If "Modern Orthodoxy sucks," it is because we starve our intellect and our soul and feed our burning guts instead with slipshod philistinism.

	Jewish Education at the Lookstein Center - RAV JOSEPH B Soleveitchik
		To the popular mind, unfortunately, "Modern Orthodoxy" represents a-movement which is characterized by willingness to make all sorts of concessions to modernity at the expense of genuine religious commitment.
		In this misinterpretation of the ideology of "Modern Orthodoxy," the adjective "modern" is treated as a modifier rather than as an attribute.
		One therefore might conclude that Orthodoxy would be spiritually far healthier if the Rav would be accepted as a role model not merely by "Modern Orthodoxy" but rather by all halakhically committed Jews of the modern era.

		Modern Russian experience gives us quite an opposite result.) After years of institutionalised atheism in Russia, a phenomenon which also comprised Russia's Jews,who usually were Jews not by their education and religion but only by blood, Jews have been among the first to search for the religious values lost during the years of communism.

	j. - 1,500 modern Orthodox converge to define identity
		In his presentation on "Assessments of, and Visions for, Modern Orthodoxy," Lehmann disavowed the term "centrist Orthodoxy," a label that has gained currency in recent years among Orthodox Jews who feel that the modifier "modern" is, well, too modern.
		A longtime hallmark of modern Orthodoxy -- a willingness to dialogue and work with non-Orthodox Jews -- has eroded in recent years as the movement's institutions, like the Orthodox Union and Rabbinical Council of America, and a growing number of constituents, have withdrawn from such endeavors on national and local levels.
		In his keynote address kicking off the conference, Berman, Edah's director, said that modern Orthodoxy is a religious path defined by "maximum integration with society," with adherents who "simultaneously affirm a passionate total commitment to halachah," Jewish law.

		Thus, by their actions, these clergymen - while possibly insisting on all the rituals of conversion in regard to the conversions they perform - will then inject into the Jewish fold people who are clearly not halachically Jewish.
		And when the reform masses do indeed (as a whole) make this argument, that is when they no longer see orthodoxy as being "more real" than it seems logical to conclude that at that time this would not be a concern.

		Perhaps the problem is that when we say we want equality, we don't understand what equality truly is. In the U.S., when the Feminists speak of equality, they are talking about identical treatment for men and women in the workplace, etc. And, in the workplace, this indeed is an accurate description of what equality means.
		I very firmly believe that before we should make Orthodox Judaism comfortable for the Modern Orthodox woman, such a woman must make a serious attempt to become comfortable with Orthodox Judaism and the roles which it sets up for her.
		Modern Jewish women today are different than any Jewish women before us.
