Reply To: OU = MO?

Joseph, it appears you are correct. The RCA refer to itself as “the rabbinic authority” of the OU in “About Us”, and the OU refers to the RCA as “the rabbinic arm of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America” in an official statement. This also answers my question as to any rabbinic involvement in the OU.

The only question left now is what is the (or if there is any) difference between the OU and the RCA? Can an organization and its rabbinic arm/authority really be considered two separate entities?
