A friend of mine incorporated parts of what I wrote into a letter he sent Mishpacha. From the response of the Rabbinical Board it sounds like they are going to do some sort of retraction.....
bh it seems like maybe they realized they crossed a red line.
Did your friend speak to anyone on the rabbinical board? I’m just curious why they’re so secretive about  who’s on it

Because if it would be open for anyone to bother them them who would be crazy enough to be on it.

I guess that’s one way to look at it, I’m more inclined to think that there is no board.

They probably have a couple of people they ask when they have a question. The problem is when they publish things without realizing that they should ask

It is astounding to me that the editors didn't spike this on their own.  If I was a subscriber I would cancel my subscription.

Interesting analysis. If only westerns would realize that not everything that works well here, works well in other parts of the world, and that change needs to come at an appropriate pace in order to be successful.

There is zero analysis in that piece, only speculation.

I don't think anyone is arguing everything can work there. No one is talking about converting them to democracy. Let's start with basic things like letting women travel without permission from a male guardian. Pretty sure they are the only country to require that by law.

agree. I sat near to 2 ladies (over age 18) on a plane. Their father was with them, and he needed to accompany them on the next flight from USA to return to Saudi Arabia, as well.
(Father now lives in USA with wife and 2 younger kids.)

These 2 ladies could not go on the plane alone without him. They told me that they wish that they could stay in the USA. One of them is going to medical school in Saudi Arabia.
It is interesting that they seem to have an intelligent and advance country, however they cannot allow several ladies to travel without a related male accompanying them.

The point of the article is that MBS is interested in instituting that change, but it cannot be done overnight, and he cannot be perceived as bowing to western dictates, or else he might be doomed to fail.
