Reply To: Did Rebbitzin Golden Pick Sponsor an Article Just to Troll?

“Why assume he authored it tho?”
I don’t necessarily. But, I do assume he sponsored the ad for it on the home page.

“Rav Moshe Weiner wrote the sefer Hadras Ponim Zoken 40 or so years ago. If he actually wrote this new kuntres then your argument falls apart.”
Chabad sources confirm he did. Why does that hurt the theory that RGP sponsored the ad? In fact, why does that even hurt the theory that he is RGP, if we’re taking it that far? The book advertised on the home page is nonsense. That remains the fact regardless of the author’s resume.

In light of what you just told me, I’ll say this correction to my original summary:
CORRECTION: The rabbi already had written a sefer on beards decades before the op-ed controversy. Only this new sefer was self-published in the wake of the controversy. Also, I forgot to note, the sponsored article mentions this debate taking place on frum forums. Whoever sponsored it is familiar with what goes on here. Hmm…
