Okay first of all DaMoshe, you may indeed be a talmid chacham, but even so how can you as another human being judge the quality of Reb Doniel’s talmud torah? You even have the chutzpah to say that since he learns in yeshivas and institutions you disagree with, you’re now positive he isn’t even learning! While I too disagree with the Open Orthodox/conservadox ideology, a Daf Yomi shiur given by Rav Dov Linzer (head of yet) for example, is still learning, still valuable, and he is still a very smart guy. Please treat these rabbanim and their derech halimud with some respect, even if you disagree with them hashkafically, or even halachically. Reb Doniel certainly seems very knowledgeable in the mekoros.

Also, regarding Get, isn’t there an idea that if many years ago when Jewish courts had power, if the husband was misarev the beis din could literally send thugs to beat him up until he gave the get? Bizman hazeh, when basei din cannot physically beat anyone up, I would think they should still be able to economically and socially compel the husband to give a get. Is this correct?
