Moetzes Denounces Open Orthodoxy – Why should Open Orthodoxy care what the Moetzes thinks? The “Moetzes” (in the form of its members) has already taken many stances against what the OO think, including child abuse, vaccinations and going to college (as well as many others).
This is really just a statement for the Yeshivish in America. If you wish to continue to be part of our club (and get your children into our schools, marry off your daughters, etc.) then you had better not support or attend functions with OO “Rabbis”.
P.S. If they want to make a statement, have Rav Shechter, Rav Meir Stern from Passaic, Rabbi Forst from Far Rockaway, Rabbis Schwartz and Fuerst from Chicago, as well as others with a geographical distribution. Have a “big tent” statement, not a group that has been discredited by their own statements (P.E.A.C.H.).
