Dear Rabbi Jakobovits,

I think the research is a very good idea. I do believe it is important that the ideas raised by you will be developed and be made more detailed, so the discussion of them can be more fruitful.

But I see the first stage as an internal debate and discussion and learning, on which I have no say. Naturally, it is for you to decide how to conduct these conversations.

I will be very willing to hear, from time to time, about the way this important activity is developing.

Best,

Ruth Gavison
