Aryeh, Avi Weiss may have been educated in YU, but it doesnt mean that he encompasses what MO teaches. Some PP have expanded on this, but if you want me to, I will also.
000646 its a shame that many people on this site (not all) seem to just say “Well, if my Rav says it, there is no way someone else could have a different opinion and also be right, so anyone who disagrees with my Rabbi is unequivically wrong.”
oomis, thank you! I find I usually agree with you as well! I find it so hard to transmit what I am trying to say without tone/inflection, so I really try to think about my words (with few exceptions, including my nasty comment to intellegent).
Any MO person who does anything wrong, they are not really MO.
Any yeshivish/chassidish etc person that does wrong it is because they are yeshivish/chassidish and that means that yeshivish/chassidish crowds condone their actions.
Intellegent, that is not what any of us are saying. I will assume you meant it tongue in cheek, but if not, please let me know and I will respond properly.
Joseph, your fake piety is sickening.
