More Info on Accessing Comments

In the interests of trying to solve the problem some are still having getting access to the comments, I am happy to post this suggestion sent by Michael Sedley a reader and occasional commentator to Emes Ve-Emunah. His words follow:

This has been a problem for me for several weeks - I finally found 2 solutions that work - Rav Harry, you may want to suggest the following in a short post (as by definition, users who cannot access the comments will not see this comment).

When you open the blog, if it opens to:
https://haemtza.blogspot.com/
Delete the "s" at the beginning to access an unsecured version of the site, i.e.,:
http://haemtza.blogspot.com/

If this doesn't work, you can access the comments directly by logging into:
https://disqus.com/

This shows the comments by themselves, without the text of the blog post (which you need to open separately)

Kol tov, (and good to finally have access to the comments again)

Comment Rules

Before you read the rules read this IMPORTANT MESSAGE: If you are having trouble accessing comments copy and past the following url: http://haemtza.blogspot.com That should get you you to the 'not secure' version of my blog where comments are visible. if that doesn't work, try a different browser. Firefox seems to work best. It can be downloaded at: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

1. Fill in your name or an alias. Do not leave blank or use the name 'guest' or 'anonymous'.

2. No Nivul Peh. Profanity will be deleted.

3. No personal attacks. Be kind in your comment even if you disagree.

4. To avoid automatic moderation - see here

My outlook on Judaism is based mostly on the teachings of my primary Rebbe, Rabbi Aaron Soloveichik from whom I received my rabbinic ordination. It is also based on a search for spiritual truth. Among the various sources that put me on the right path, two great philosophic works stand out: “Halakhic Man” and “Lonely Man of Faith” authored by the pre-eminent Jewish philosopher and theologian, Rabbi, Dr. Joseph B. Soloveitchik. Of great significance is Rabbi, Dr. Norman Lamm's conceptualization and models of Torah U’Mada and Dr. Eliezer Berkovits who introduced me to the world of philosophic thought. Among my early influences were two pioneers of American Elementary Torah Chinuch, Rabbis Shmuel Kaufman and Yaakov Levi. The Yeshivos I attended were Yeshivas Telshe for early high school and more significantly, the Hebrew Theological College where for a period of ten years, my Rebbeim included such great Rabbinic figures as Rabbis Mordechai Rogov, Shmaryahu Meltzer, Yaakov Perlow, Herzl Kaplan, and Selig Starr. I also attended Roosevelt University where I received my Bachelor's Degree - majoring in Psychology.
