Reply To: What are any issues with serving a role in Conservative Shule?

I will refrain from a major comment, but I am amazed that, in over 40 entries after the initial post asking about issues, no one (did I miss it?) even mentioned a microphone, which is probably used in virtually every Conservative congregation (not that it is necessarily as much of an issue as some believe it to be, without going into detail, and it might well have been less of an issue, had there not been a Conservative movement. Much of the discussion years ago, of course, was before fluidics and Tzomet. There was at least one case where a rav was able to put in a mechitza, and instead of having to persuade the people to not have a microphone, they raised money for the Tzomet system). On another note, there was an effort years ago to get Orthodox rabbanim into Conservative shuls for kiruv purposes. Heteirim were given on a very individual basis. There was one well-known case where R Soloveichik was matir under the conditions that the rav not take a salary or move into the neighborhood until a mechitza was put in, and it had to be clear that he was not davening there, only leading the services. After several months, a mechitza was put in, and that institution became a major source of Torah and kiruv, responsible for hundreds and hundreds of baalei teshuva.
