The Ultra-Orthodox newspaper, Yated Neeman, ran an article this past week decrying Yeshivat Chovevei Torah, Rabbi Avi Weiss and Open Orthodoxy. It called for the RCA and others to condemn YCT. My only really thought on the article is: who cares? Why am I supposed to care that an Ultra-Orthodox newspaper does not like YCT? Yeshiva University used to be their target of choice, now apparently YU is the Yated's new best friend as they have chosen a new target for their intolerance and minimalist read of Judaism. Let them vent. Who cares?
(As an aside the author of the piece, Yisroel Lichter, inadvertently [or perhaps intentionally] insults male social workers by writing: 'YCT has emasculated the position of Rabbi... to a Rabbi that is a glorified Social Worker...')
