@mods I suspect that judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/113414 is going to blow up eventually and make it to HNQ. Given the halachos surrounding מורידין ולא מעלין or לא מורידין ולא מעלין I suspect this question may cause a problem if publicized too far. If and when this makes it to HNQ I strongly feel it be yanked off the list ASAP.

@DonielF the answer it has so far is not getting the kind of positive score that would trigger HNQ-inclusion, and so, its chances of inclusion are dwindling over time. If it does go HNQ, feel free to flag or ping us, of course

Q: Help me find a quote from Rav Hirsch

I have heard famously in the name of Rav Hirsch that he wanted to close all the synagogues in Germany for a 100 years so that people would value prayers and Judaism properly. On headlines (time 11:50) He said its from חורב but I looked there and did not find it. http://podcast.headlinesbook.com/...
