| Jun 16, 2023 at 14:02 | comment | added | Harel13 | I think that a person's hashkafah doesn't necessarily lower the quality of his work. As an example, my yeshiva has a copy of the Finkelstein edition of the Sifrei, though Finkelstein was not Orthodox (though I doubt most of the students know who he was...). | |
| Jun 16, 2023 at 14:01 | comment | added | Harel13 | Yes, quite a few works quote his series. It's possible some didn't really know who he was, but I think it's more likely that they recognized the quality of his work and the importance of books that publish manuscripts. I've seen this to be the case in other publications of manuscripts and critical editions. I don't doubt that his and others' works are reliable (at least in general; last week I discovered to my horror that the Buber Eicha Rabbah edition is very deeply flawed). | |
| Jun 16, 2023 at 12:46 | comment | added | Dov | Interesting its bizarre because I have seen reputable seforim bringing mekoros quoting his Beis Hamidrash series so as a work it must be somewhat reliable? | |
| Jun 16, 2023 at 12:39 | comment | added | Harel13 | I don't know if it's appropriate or not, I was just a bit surprised. On this note, Maskilim and, later, 20th century scholars often referred to one another as R' and even sometimes as Ha'Rav, even if they didn't have semicha. Sometimes they had ordination from Reform or Conservative. I find it to be a bit jarring. But some of them did in fact have semicha. | |
| Jun 16, 2023 at 12:33 | comment | added | Dov | @Harel13 - Thanks for the background. I saw him mentioned in a couple of sources so I thought it was a reputable. I can delete if you feel it is not appropriate. | |
| Jun 16, 2023 at 12:31 | comment | added | Harel13 | +1 but I have to say that this is probably the first time I've seen someone refer to Aharon Jellinek as 'rabbi'. I googled and yes, it seems he did have some form of rabbinical ordination, though his views were somewhere between Orthodox and Reform, and he is mostly known for being a key figure in the Haskalah movement. | |
