But at the same time if the critique has some valid points regarding Rabbi Tropper's methods in gerut and his mingling kiruv and gerut (which in his perspective addresses it by stating that he is not the beit Din and the Batey Dinim are not part of his kiruv part of the issue and have their autonomous standing and he does not interfere in their conversion), how much more so, would the dear Rabbi and other people who are engaged in critiquing him, address the many rabbis who do a large number of gerim without sincerity to observe mitzvot and have a much lax standard than the Batey Dinim that EJF uses.<BR/>=================<BR/>I'll tell you a secret - I am not omniscient. I am sure there are many others things that you will discover that I don't know about. On the other hand I am not interested in reporting every single case of wrong behavior in the Jewish world. R' Tropper happens to be a significant influence in the world and thus it is important that what he is doing be publicized. If you feel this indivual is a corrupting influence and you can produce a letter signed by somone of the stature of Rav Feivel Cohen or Rav Dovid Cohen regarding this individual I would be willing to consider publicising it.Daas Torahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07252904288544083215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-41491161311299880412008-11-21T20:05:00.000+02:002008-11-21T20:05:00.000+02:00Important points made.

But at the same time if the critique has some valid points regarding Rabbi Tropper's methods in gerut and his mingling kiruv and gerut (which in his perspective addresses it by stating that he is not the beit Din and the Batey Dinim are not part of his kiruv part of the issue and have their autonomous standing and he does not interfere in their conversion), how much more so, would the dear Rabbi and other people who are engaged in critiquing him, address the many rabbis who do a large number of gerim without sincerity to observe mitzvot and have a much lax standard than the Batey Dinim that EJF uses. There is a Rabbi in Flatbush who is known to do many of these phony gerut. He was recently megayer a child of homosexual "couple" ! and giving all kinds of excuses for this. When many, (including the owner of this blog) do not attack that rabbi and instead attack RT on much lesser crime there seems to a be a irrational position. For, at the end of the day the critique (if legimate nad not personal) would be the lack of sincerity and real commitment to observe Torah and Mitzvot, in which case we should hear from them attacking that (and other) Rabbi(s).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
