zahavasdad: I actually do know a YCT graduate. We used to be neighbors and davened at the same shul. He ended up getting a job as a Rabbi somewhere and moved away.

He happens to be a very nice guy. I’ve written before that one thing we can learn from Avi Weiss is ahavas Yisrael. But I wouldn’t use him as my Rabbi, because hashkafically, I just don’t agree with his views.

The shul he went to is officially an Orthodox shul, but he told me that there were members who drove to shul on Shabbos. He also told me he planned to make it “the first Orthodox shul in NJ that has an official kiddush club, attended by the Rabbi.”
