Rabbi Avi Weiss was a character. That I can tell you from first hand experience.
Perhaps what he did was needed, to give LBTQ Jews a place to call home without all the problems they face in the outside world. And for him to be an Orthodox rabbi and do this is something else.
“Human dignity” is a major precept of our religion, including tolerance. As the Beatles sang, “Let It Be”.
Compared to my last rabbi, Avi is a “saint”, if you’ll pardon the expression.
Can’t fight against the Torah. Nominal Christians try to as well, but this just is not going to work out, this repeating of history.
Can you cite me the passage in the Torah that elevates human feelings above the will of God?
Reading "liberal" and "orthodox" in the same sentence transports me to a state of cognitive dissonance. It can't be reasonably questioned that LGBTQWERTYEIEIO is promoted and abetted by Satan.
Thanks for your nice post. As confusing as homosexuality is these days, one shouldn’t have to choose between it and Judaism.
There’s no dignity, human or otherwise, in sodomy.
