GAW – I’m upset at Ben Levi’s defense of certain people above. There is no defense to make those decisions without the backing of one of the main Bais Dins here!
There is no defense. The REAL “Rosh Yeshiva” of Lakewood Inc., Rav Aaron Kotler Shlita, in on record saying that he was mechuyav to back Corzine for his past support (AKA GELT). His brother then had to go to Rav Shteinman to get an “Ishur”, which we have to assume was given without all of the facts on the table (as it was retracted soon after).
None of this is in dispute, no matter what posters have to say on the matter.
