APY, I would think the point is to educate the uneducated. And learning an Igros Moshe is worthwhile in its own right. Besides, how many of us knew beforehand there is a halachic problem making a Bas Mitzvah ceremony? How many of us knew the Reform initiated this foreign practice? Even putting the strict halachic issues aside, how many of us knew that the heilige Rav Moshe zt’l – the posek hador, called this practice “nonsense” and said its a “non-mitzvah”?
I, for one, learnt some new things today. I would also venture to say that most readers did not know this inyan beforehand. Considering many of us DO care what Rav Moshe paskened, who even knows how many countless people will now be saved from engaging in this reform nonsense?
Yasher Koach!
