Episode 2: Abuse, Rabbinic Apologies, and Women’s Pants
from RZ חדשי · host Mali Brofsky, Johnny Solomon and Reuven Spolter
In this heated episode we address two topics that have arisen in recent weeks in the Religious Zionist/Modern Orthodox world. Specifically (1) The non-apology of Rabbi Haim Druckman who previously gave a teaching platform to the convicted sex offender Motti Elon and whose lack of acknowledgement of the harm this has caused has led to a very public RCA statement and Canadian funder ceasing to support his institutions (0-25.20mins), and (2) The response by Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu to two halachic statements by Rabbi Iddo Fechter and Rabbi Yoni Rosensweig (25.20-50.35mins) with reference to women wearing pants. We will be posting links to relevant articles in our facebook page, and though we seem to have had a few technical issues with the sound, we very much hope you enjoy the show.
