ymarkovThe new Torath Moshe web site includes this important statement in The 14 Fundamental Principles of our Torah Tradition, principle 12:
"Honest study of Torah can bring a person to challenge modern Jewish practice. Unless he is careful, one is in danger of looking down on his fellow Jew and holding other Torah scholars in contempt, G-d forbid. Anyone who joins this tradition just to be different from others, in a spirit of rebellion against the mainstream, or for any purpose other than to serve HaShem properly could bring a curse upon himself and others, rather than a blessing.
Furthermore, there is absolutely no permission given or reason to look down on any traditional Jewish community, be it Ashkenazi, Sefaradi, etc. When measured against the standard of the authentic Halakhah, every group has kept certain laws better than others, and every group has ignored or remained ignorant of laws that others faithfully kept. Every Jewish community has important lessons to teach and many to learn."
