newbee
are you serious?
YOU were the one who said this is ” a common yom kippur practice in MO shules” Not R’ Moshe nor R’ Yosef. They didnt feel the need to mention that. He was asked his opinion on the matter and he gave it. Nobody is saying if someone has asked you if you though it was ok for them to attedn this dinner it would be wrong to offer your opinion.
Your very example shows how wrong you are
Oh and comparing yourself to R’ Moshe and R’ Ovadiya ?
Really?
Even if they denigrate a group of people. (Which they did not) You still wouldnt have a right too
