PHIL- I personally would never attend this kind of event, in part for that very reason. But that’s my personal view and I defend the choice of any Jew who wishes to attend such an event without being rebuked for it.
Great! We’re making headway here. I think I agree that people shouldn’t be rebuked about this, sure thang.
Btw being the great nephew of a big person is by no means a haskamah.
