DY: If Talmidei Chachomim opine on a financial issue (i.e. Euros are a safer investment than Shekels) is there something wrong with publicly disagreeing with them? If not, how then is it any different than disagreeing with them if they opine on a mathematical/demographics issue?
OI: There is not much difference for a guy to tell the shadchan he wants a skinny girl than for him to tell the shadchan that he wants a blonde girl.
Daas: The RCA went even further than that. In their statement titled on their website as “RCA Condemns Chareidi Rally” they tried to diminish a rally attended by Gedolei Yisroel across the Orthodox spectrum as being, in their statement, a “small but vocal group” who the RCA President wrote “take to the streets to publicly aid the many enemies who stand ready to destroy, G-d forbid, the Jewish State – and all Jews”.
Really, RCA? Rav… Elya Ber Wachtfogel, Ahron Schechter, Osher Kalmonovitz, Shlomo Feivel Shustal, etc. etc. are a “small but vocal group” who are aiding the enemies of the Jews?
You need to differentiate between an Eved Ivri and an Even Cannani. They are two very different things and have little to do with each other.
