Complete Auto Repair at: Foreign & Domestic organized to attract publici- ty for a specific liberal agen- - da. "Their motives were suspect," Rabbi Tendler asserted. Whatever their motives, their ultimate aims amounted to a radical, if slow, democratization of the halachic system. By making halachic information and methodology fully accessible to ordinary pulpit rabbis (and therefore to the laity as well) and by publishing, in both Hebrew and English, a range of Halachic opinion on important issues, the Round Table was mounting a challenge to a halachic system that had grown in- creasingly elitist and au- thoritarian. This unspoken challenge was most specifically directed to the Gedolim, those revered scholars who typically determine Halachah from within the narrower social context of the yeshiva world. Though none of the Round Table rabbis by himself en- joyed the stature of the Gedolim, their hope was that, together, they and their work would generate sufficient prestige to stake out an alternative territory in which Modern Orthodoxy could assert its values and worldview. But such a movement toward openness, democratization, and ultimately, perhaps, toward communal development of traditional Jewish law, was, in Rabbi Tendler's words, "anathema." He recently expressed relief that the Round Table is "now accep- ting the discipline" of the Rabbinical Council of America (RCA). Has the revolution died aborning, then? Rabbi Marc Angel, president of the RCA and himself a founding member of the Round Table, insisted bluntly that the Round Table "no longer ex- ists." The reorganized group, he said, will include scholars from "all wings" of Orthodoxy, and its papers will be signed by individual authors, rather than issued under group imprimatur, thus reducing their au- thority. But other members of the group suggest that Rabbi Angel is merely saying what he needs to say for institu- tional purposes. Surprising- ly, even those members who initially opposed the incor- poration of the Round Table into the RCA now endorse the move. ❑ f K.
