Yated on IRF/YCT

«The satirical mocking of the structure, hanhagos and mitzvos of the bais haknesses is incredible. Has any other Orthodox rabbi ever dared write such things? ...his irreverent depiction of [Halachah] and of our mesorah are startling. It seems that he has serious problems with the halachic system and the mesorah of tefillah and the bais haknesses, and/or he totally fails to understand the halachic underpinnings of what goes on in a shul. What does this tell us about the future leadership and direction of Open Orthodoxy?

«The satirical misrepresentaion of the laws of loshon horo and mesirah are incredible. Has any other Orthodox rabbi ever dared write such things? ...his irreverent depiction of [Halachah] and of our mesorah are startling. It seems that they have serious problems with the halachic system and the mesorah of protecting children from pedophiles and/or he totally fails to understand the halachic underpinnings of what goes on in a yeshiva behind closed doors. What does this tell us about the future leadership and direction of Chareidism?

In other words, I strongly disagree with the philosophy of the Morethodox but at least they're not covering for molesters and claiming to be righteous about it.
