We Dare Not Ignore the Context: A Reply to Rabbi Yitzchak Blau

Rabbi Yitzchak Blau just posted a strident critique of my writings about Open Orthodoxy. I had not written about Open Orthodoxy for quite a while, and even when doing so, my articles on the topic had become pretty infrequent. I was thus not sure why Rabbi Blau suddenly targeted the issue.

In any case, here is my response to Rabbi Blau. Since his critique appeared in Times of Israel, that is where I posted my response.
