For many years Rabbi Weiss has fought for a strong Israel, and it is ironic that his reward is now to be cast aside as if he were a heretic. Those who are disdainful of him are continuing to attempt to "Talibanize "Orthodox Judaism in Israel and thus far they are quite successful. What a disgrace!
4. #2 He refuses to dumb-down to medieval golem costume jewry

Israel & Rabbinate claiming that's Orthodox these days.
5. #2 Haredi Tora is from Mt. Aukštojas in 18th century

Tora is 18th century European culture. Don't you know ANYTHING?
6. R. Weiss and the Rabbinate
bernie ,   nyc   (01.03.14)
The Rabbinate's actions are disgraceful. The Rabbinate is seeking to centralize US rabbinic authority and the RCA is its willing instrument. Will Orthodox synagogues next have to get approval from the RCA for the rabbis they hire?
7. religious coercion & dictatorship

Even between the Orthos there is no peace and agreement. this just means that we need full separation of religion and state in israel. religion should not be part of official State apparatus. period.
8. Not Moses, not one Biblical person would submit to Orthodox
Sage of the Age ,   Israel   (01.04.14)
Nor would Moses nor any other Biblical person qualify according to today's Rabbinate standards.
9. Although "secular" I am astonished by the
olim hadashim ,   tel aviv/israel   (01.04.14)
corruptness of fake rabbis.The Rabbinate must get stricter with these clowns.
