Tzippi, thanks for your concern but simcha poiretz geder and I am laughing my head off at the silliness of the empty klalois that are being directed my way from Berlin.
As for my personal perspective of a fellow Jew, if you mean Berlin, I don’t take him seriously. If you mean Carlebach, well, just as it is our duty to speak out against the molestors of today, it is our duty to make sure that one whose nonsense opened the door to all sorts of perversions at the fringes of the community is exposed as such so that others do not follow his example or continue to revere his memory. A quick look at the Chofetz Chayim makes it very clear that speaking out about someone who passed himself off as a frum spiritual guide while committing issurei skila vesreyfo is not LH or MSR.
