zahavasdad,

if They wanted to condem Avi Weiss and say you cant drink his wine that is one thing. However if you say you cant drink the wine of someone who jsut happens to go to Hebrew Institute of Riverdale thats differnet , if someone goes to such a shul you need to act very differently . The lay person are not degenerating the torah, they are just following their leaders.

I’m confused. Where in the kol korei was there anything about drinking/touching wine mentioned? Or anything about laypeople?

The main point I saw from it was that Open Orthodoxy was not a form of Torah Judaism (i.e., Orthodoxy), and therefore their leaders are not rabbis, despite their usage of the terms rabbi and semicha.

It also ended with a prayer for mercy upon all Jews (regardless of affiliation).
