The author likes a ritual system, a set of do's and don'ts. Great. Islam has that. Many Christian churches have some form of that. There are lots of ritualistic packages from which to choose. If the only reason you follow Jewish law, is because the rituals keep you focused, then any other ritualistic religion would be just as acceptable to you. In fact, some of them might be even better than Judaism, for living in the Western World. I follow halacha because G-d commanded me to; and for no other reason.

How did God command you ? Please explain. Thanks in advance

If you are so immature, so irresponsible, so lacking in intellect, then yes you might need a rigid structure to stop you from harming yourself and becoming, lazy, obese, etc. (although if someone wants to live such a life, they have the right). But this does not justify the sexism, the homophobia, the racism, or the intolerance that comes along with rabbinic orthodox Judaism. Lets see if the author is brave enough to write an article about those issues.

brave to be not such people but to write is not a courage as writing whatever you want is the right it is the freedom of speech no one to listen to good or bad so the brave of doing it is controlled by the selfe not the others (realy writing must be to specialize ones but it is to evry one as it is as listining must be to evry one but it is to none )it is the fake of write an listen

Ever heard of the Thora? ;-)

I stood at the base of Mount Sinai, and the one and only Creator of everything gave me the Divine Law. This Law is the basis for all of Western Civilization.
