Cause of the Problem?

The Jewish man of faith may experience a different loneliness then his predecessor. Jewish Orthodoxy today is a far more robust affair than it was in the early sixties. Yet, one fears that in the midst of our increased learning, halakhic practice and fierce tribal loyalties of the present, the sense that it is all a means to approach the Divine may often be forgotten. Similarly, in the minutiae of learning and halakhah there is always the trap of neglecting the essential message of Divine love and our calling to emulate it.

Rabbi Mayer Schiller, “Must We Be Quite So Lonely?”

Could this be the reason why most of us are really adherents of Torah Im Rock’n'Roll?
