Modern Is Not Always Good; Ancient Is Not Always Wrong - 4/5/18

Let your Rabbi describe to you a book in his library printed in 1936 and entitled “How to Make Love”. Today’s worst insults and most indicting criticisms: It’s old fashioned; it’s not modern; it’s archaic; it’s outdated; it’s so yesterday. Many mistakenly believe that any idea not sufficiently progressive is automatically false and wrong. But what if some old ideas are actually true and right? Learning to judge the value of an idea regardless of its vintage. And talking of older ideas with tremendous value, let’s teach our children to court rather than date. Why the emotional roller-coaster of teenage and young adult dating does such a good job preparing for divorce.
