Hartman Institute tackles the Ikkarim

One of my friends/Rabbis - actually many of my friends are Rabbis - go figure (perhaps they are following the old adage, keep your friends close and your enemies closer) is on the Hartman Scholars Circle group, and their project for this year is something to do with "Ikkarim". It's an eclectic group, with a mix of OJ/Conservative/Reform Rabbis/Academics and others, see here for names. I suggest that they abolish the ikkarim completely, but I'm not sure that is the goal of the project. Anyway, as a world class expert on the ikkarim, I expected to be invited. I see Yehudah Kurtzer is on there - that guy stole my Bronfman award and now he got onto the scholars circle too. No fair!
