Guilty as charged. Doesn’t he have a large following in the Jewish community?
I don't believe that he is the 'Rabbi' of any congregation. Although he did receive Semicha (Rabbinical ordination) many others on here have as well and don't hold themselves out to be self proclaimed experts on all things Jewish and an Expert on Jewish Philosophy.
He is definitely not regarded as a significant Rabbi in Orthodox circles - or even as a Rabbi (unless how many TV shows you're on and how many books you've written determine how much reverence you should command). Most Orthodox jews who don't have access to social media etc have never heard of him.
He has been listed as one of the
top 50 most influential Rabbi's in America - then again - I haven't heard of most of the people on that list. Many are non-orthodox, Women, etc and that list is definitely not indicitave of whom the Orthodox Jews revere and look up to as their leaders.
It's unfortunate that many non-jews think that he is a well renown Orthodox Rabbi and leader simply because he wrote books and appears on TV Shows. Any rabbi worth his beans would have no interest in appearing on a TV show.
