Rabbi Yehuda Turetsky -Change Doesn’t Scare Me: The History and Future of Torah Learning

Rabbi Mayer E. Twersky-: This Is Not The World I Grew Up In
Outside society has changed dramatically and it has affected us. Many want a religious algorithm that will tell them exactly what to do, and life isn’t like that. You need to develop a chush for Torah and what it wants from you. Emet and proper tone of discourse have become more crucial to us as society moves away from these values.

Rabbi Yisroel Kaminetsky- The Effects of Technology on Our Yeshivos: Reflections from 30 years of Chinuch
