What kind of a son is Rabbi Boteach, revealing to the world that his father is now in Isfahan, Iran — why didn’t he include his street address and cellphone number?
Nonetheless, this is a rare occasion on which I agree utterly with what Rabbi Boteach is saying. This is beyind disgrace. President Bollinger is causing great harm to the reputation of a wonderful institution, either for his own self-aggrandizement or because he has been promised substantial donations for doing this.
I imagine the Iranian authorities are well aware of his father's presence. It is a police state after all. You don't get in without the "proper papers", and sometimes you don't get out even with them.
