Reply To: About the RCA, I do shudder.

It is unfortunate that the RCA used such language, however, that is the likely way this is playing out in amcha. Being somewhere on the chardal/amerikaner meshooga scsle, I don’t exactly have a clear take on the “secular” mindset, but Rav Stav is much beloved in many circles, people who the untrained eye would take to be rahok, or lost to the cause. They cannot be now blamed for thinking just what the RCA let out. So in fact, the RCA is correct in the analysis, they should have sat taanis instead of publishing.
