popa: It doesn’t matter how great the rav hamachshir is if the guy actually supervising, isn’t in fact supervising.
Toi: Thanks, I think?
zahavasdad: I agree with you about the article giving YCT too much time. I thought I mentioned earlier that turning them into an Issue is just somebody playing politics, but I see I didn’t.
Feif:
As long as the RCA sticks to its guns and doesn’t accept YCT semicha as legitimate, things will be ok.
I agree.
I have a friend who got semicha from YCT. He’s a great guy, but I wouldn’t use him as my Rabbi.
We could very well be talking about the same person.
…If they stick to those shuls, I think we’re fine.
From a demographic point of view, you’re right. But, as much as I abhor kannaus, you can’t just “throw the old folks to the wolves.”
Other than that, they just don’t even acknowledge it. Why should they?
100% though some people who don’t think the RCA is “frum enough” seem to want more statements of that sort as assurance that they’re wrong, or that they’re right — sometimes it’s hard to tell what people want.
