That smacks of the same non-acceptance that the majority of the Orthodox community shows to gays and lesbians who want to be a part of it or consider themselves a part of it already.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215743256868691632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438057573186324148.post-35417911462670791582009-06-20T06:20:42.311-07:002009-06-20T06:20:42.311-07:00well tihs is a sweet postwell tihs is a sweet postrabi larshttp://dadoichzlig.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438057573186324148.post-72273408398880680922009-04-16T20:32:00.000-07:002009-04-16T20:32:00.000-07:00U should call Rabbi Avi Weiss.

Now , my Rav is a woman who studied at Drisha and is very kwnoledgable on Halacha, but still understands my deal. I usually go to independent Minyanim like Hadar or DarcheNoah, but I will never pay anything to an Orthodox organization that rejects Gay people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438057573186324148.post-87758155816523287152008-12-02T23:18:00.000-08:002008-12-02T23:18:00.000-08:00"Nor could I have a non-Orthodox Rav who does not ..."Nor could I have a non-Orthodox Rav who does not view the Torah as fully binding."<BR/><BR/>-Isn't that a bit harsh? Why do you throw all Non-Orthodox Rabbis into the "not viewing Torah as binding" category? <BR/><BR/>I wonder if you have been talking to Non-Orthodox rabbis about what they belive or not. Or Did you just come to this conclusion based on their afiliation?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438057573186324148.post-26499884413888127782008-11-20T11:49:00.000-08:002008-11-20T11:49:00.000-08:00What, no love for Steve Greenberg?What, no love for Steve Greenberg?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438057573186324148.post-4050141987276225972008-11-19T20:23:00.000-08:002008-11-19T20:23:00.000-08:00I could not have a Rav who told me to marry a woma...<B><I>I could not have a Rav who told me to marry a woman or live a life of celibate solitude.

I agree that it is very important for people like us to have a Rabbi to guide us through such uncharted waters.

We have a rabbi we can ask kashrus or yuntif related questions to. But we do not have one rav who we trust fully on all issues, mostly though not exclusively because of our relationship. It is frustrating, for sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438057573186324148.post-7863082820606675742008-11-17T21:47:00.000-08:002008-11-17T21:47:00.000-08:00Does the same thing apply if you are a Rabbi?Does the same thing apply if you are a Rabbi?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
