The Tamar Epstein Saga

[churnbabychurn]

The question is whether and how the moetzes will respond.
On one hand, מדשתקו רבנן ש"מ דניחא ליה (ח"ו
On the other hand, will R Shmuel sign on? Abstain?

Anyone up for going all "shimon and levi" on Philly?

they already all hav milah..... So whats the plan?

[Moshe123]

The longer NG is in hiding and refuses to retract, the harsher the letters are getting. I'm assuming a cherem is not far.
He is being condemned by renowned poskim from ALL stripes.

Could be. But personally I never heard of him until now. I had heard lots about R Efrayim Greenblatt though.

In the realm of gittin, it would be impossible not to have heard of him.  He is clearly the foremost expert on gittin in the U.S.

[Dr Moose]

R' Nota is THE expert in regards to gittin. R' Ephraim was known more for his all around halacha knowledge.

NG? NG? 

Tell me that's a typo and you didn't deliberately refer to Rav Nota as you would a teammate on a baseball field.

Thank you
Sadly, a very necessary comment

[AJK]

For the moment, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

At least according to the signers on the poster he has been disqualified from dealing with gittin. So according to them at least, "so much for all the expertise."
Would he still retain the title "rav" according to them?

[SayWhat]

The question is until when does Rabbi's Greenblatt & Kaminetsky get the benefit of the doubt? If they have done nothing wrong with nothing to hide why has there been no explanation?

They don't owe me or you anything as has been mentioned they are much bigger than any of us here are - but there have been over a dozen letters from the biggest Rabonim & Poskim coming out against what has been done and yet not a word to defend it?

So I ask you until when do they get the benefit of the doubt? Would it be ok with you if no explanation is ever given?

couldnt have said it better.... but than again in the fire of so called kanaus  people thin of themselves as a posek acron and everyone else at best is a Am Haaretz  including gedolei poskim

The yeshivishe velt used him for gittin or gittin related sheilos?

and yet none of the signers( who many of them im assumingy ou have never either heard of but are conveniently on the "right side" ) referred to him as NG ..... if you want to  be the fist than all i can say is youre suffering from a overdose of self esteem and you might want to ask mechila brabim ... talking about rabbis like that can only cause you problems

[henche]

The yeshivishe velt used him for gittin or gittin related sheilos?

Yes. As the foremost expert.
