Popa, you didn’t answer my question about whether there are Orthodox shuls that have (in the last few years) hired Conservative (JTS) rabbis (thereby becoming Conservative).
I am not aware of any. The point I was making is that the people who choose rabbis should not be considered by anyone to have any normative authority. As evidence I presented the fact that many jewish congregations hire conservative rabbis. The same way the local Jewish Center baal habatim hire conservative rabbis and it says nothing–when some shul in Boston hires a YCT rabbi it means nothing.
Or maybe you are saying that if an Orthodox shul (a shul that has only had rabbis with Orthodox semicha and has a mechitza and doesn’t have women laining or getting aliyos) hires a YCT grad then they are no longer Orthodox?
I am saying that.
