““People do have a right to decide if they dont want to use niggunim from someone who committed averios even the goyim disapprove of.”
The typical excuse of EVERY L”H that has been spoken for the past 2000 years….”
Yes, and it’s been a legitimate heter for 2000 years. If there was a Rabbi who presents himself as frum but teaches real kefira, it’s not Lashon Hara to warn people. By the way, I really don’t know if this is the case with Carlebach; not my monkey, not my circus. I’m just responding to the non-defense of L”H allegations against anyone with whom you disagree.
I don’t think the posthumous assault allegations against Carlebach are the thing people are taking issue with. There seems to be a bigger trend in his behavior throughout his life being referenced, but I really know nothing about the matter.
