I too noticed a reply to R’ Rechnitz that was on the site yesterday written I believe by R’ Moishe D Perlstein, a principal of at least 2 mosdos it said. He challenged every factual point on which R’Rechnitz’s speech was based.
Whilst I have no idea who’s right, surely Lakewood has the right of reply, once their alleged shortcomings have been so publicly exposed. It was a very well written piece and I would ask YWN to republish it.
