The Gedolim of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of Agudath Israel of America have brought the Avi Weiss affair out into the open public (see YW General News, 3/9/2010); the underlying message that this issue be discussed in the Coffee Room.
Just because the Gedolim shlita made a statement on this situation, which clearly was done out of deep pain over the situation — as can be ascertained from reading their careful words, does not mean they issued a license to debate the issue.
It isn’t a matter of debate. The leaders of Klal Yisroel have spoken in a loud, clear and unified voice, and that closes the case.
