“less people getting drunk at the kiddush at Avi Weiss’s so call shul”
It is a real shul, now with the largest membership in the Bronx. It remains a member of the Orthodox Union.
And it isn’t Rabbi Weiss’s shul any more. He retired five years ago and does not play a role in decisionmaking there.
And the shul has not served alcohol at kiddushes in decades. There used to be a kiddush club but Rabbi Weiss spent years trying to stamp it out; he succeeded by tearing down the building to which it had been exiled. It is nice to go to Purim and Simchat Torah and not be surrounded by drunkenness.
