					<description><![CDATA[First, to answer anxious ben, but also directing my comments to Rabbi Kennar, just out of mere curiosity, why did you keep stumm about your reasons for those resignations and only now, when it seems much safer - see your job - to join  the chorus of anti Orthodoxy you summoned that &quot;courage&quot;. 

More importantly, one is fairly confused about your &quot;slight&quot; ambiguity. On one hand you are  fulminating against individual Rabbis who committed  so and so and should resign - which relates to the individual - and then, a sentence (!!) later, you tell us that all this stuff has nothing to do with &quot;personal responsibility&quot;. Also, perhaps you care to decipher that interesting statement &quot; we are not Yeshiva&quot;. I do not need deciphering of the other pearl &quot; ..the entire Orthodox community is finding itself implicated by association&quot;. Is this a studied,empirical finding, a genuine proposition or an indictment, because either is a tad lo beseder bihlal or let&#039;s say slightly oyf kipure.
I wonder if those orgs. you resigned from asked you to reconsider...... 
Anyways, if nobody you &quot;indicted&quot; will resign, what will YOU further resign from !!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[“In October 2013 I resigned from the Executive of the Rabbinical Council of Victoria (RCV) and subsequently from the Council itself. At the time I made no comment on my action, since any publicity would have served no purpose.

it would have served a purpose.

it begs the question whether the council intimidates opposition to silence
