The issue of Mamzer was brought up by others not me, And you can ask if Offspring of say a mixed marriaged (Where mother is Jewish) or a couple who was never married in the first place is a mamzer. We are generally very strict who we will call a mamzer even if there is proof otherwise
A divorce case came up in Israel where the father said he wife had an affair and the kids were not his (He didnt want to pay child support) . A DNA test was taken and one of the kids was not his, and he was still forced to pay child support. the Beis Din refused the evidence of the DNA test in order not to make the kid a mamzer.
I never said throw the whole thing out on conversions. If Avi Weiss’s conversions do not keep the Torah, they are not good. If they keep the torah then you have no argument. There is a big of vagueness that probably needs to be cleared up.
For the record, I do not live in Riverdale and have nothing to do with YCT or Avi Weiss, but I find it fascinating that some are so obessessed with him and ignore issues in their own house. He has no affect on my life, and frankly he shouldnt have any affect on yours. Certainly this was not the biggest issue that occured this weekend.
