Well, “emes me-eretz titzmach”.One must recognize the truth. Intrigued by DaasYochid’s words, I just looked at the website of the “bayit’ and,indeed, it has a (cough,cough)photo of a African’American woman in Baptist style singing- presumably on the occasion of MLK day next Monday. As much as I understand some of the innovations of Rabbi Avi Weiss, this is one thing I have difficulty accepting. It is OK hosting a MLK day event- we do live in the US- but there could have been more appropriate and mainstream Jewish ways of doing this. Clearly, he walks to his own music and does not care if he antagonizes his colleagues, even the MOs ones!
