Reply To: A letter to the OU

Joseph, I believe I’ve written before about why Weiss wasn’t kicked out.
The RCA had a big meeting to discuss it. They determined that if they kicked him out, he’d probably file a lawsuit, and bring a lot of publicity to his new religion. It was decided that keeping his students out would be enough. He’d either leave on his own (which is what happened), or, given that he’s not young, would eventually be gone. Either way, they avoid the publicity, and keep his influence out of the RCA.
