I already stated that there were *multiple* halachic violations in that video. I accept your right to disagree with these facts and assume it is “only” inappropriate, especially since you haven’t seen the video so you can’t really speak to the facts anyways.
Bringing in Chassidic standards is not relevant to halachic requirements.
Regarding Rav S.R. Hirsch, he was not a proponent of MO.
That is clear, despite MO revisionism trying to fool people otherwise.
TIDE is a good example of Eilu ViEilu, unlike MO.
Regardless, I already wrote that I respect MO rabbanim and was not commenting on them.
The point of this discussion was simply that MO halachic standards are lower than in traditional Orthodoxy. A “naval birshus HaTorah” may not have committed an aveira per se, but is still a “naval birshus HaTorah” and that is, of course, a lower standard.
Again, YU posted this video on their official blog, which means that they do not find it problematic even though, afilu liShitascha, there is inappropriate activity shown therein as I mentioned in earlier posts.
No traditional orthodox Yeshiva or Bais Yaakov would dream of posting such a video, and they would have set it up and produced it differently to begin with, if at all, too. As YU writes, “Nowhere but Here”. Why can you not see the truth?
I am not judging anyone and I am not telling anyone how to live their lives. I am not looking to bash any movement or any person. The goal was simply to clarify that MO has lower standards than traditional Orthodoxy.
