Yup...it is true. I read this story at Haaretz.com. I am going to post now the response of the RCA:
" Rabbi Haskel Lookstein, the head of New York's Kehilath Jeshurun synagogue and a leading member of the city's modern Orthodox community, was one of several religious leaders who took part in reading sections of a nondenominational responsive prayer during the National Prayer Service at Washington's National Cathedral."
RCA response: "The long-standing policy of the Rabbinical Council of America, in accordance with Jewish law, is that participation in a prayer service held in the sanctuary of a church is prohibited," the statement read. "Any member of the RCA who attends such a service does so in contravention of this policy and should not be perceived as representing the organization in any capacity."
What a nice political statement. Why haven't they thrown him out of the RCA? Why such a not attacking response?
If we look back at a controversy in Monsey around the talmid Chacham R. Mordechai Tendler, who the RCA dumped on, and ruined his life and future, and on top of all this, he has been vindicated on all accounts!!!!
What double standing B.S. We are dealing with Avodah Zarah here folks!!! I was taught that this one is considered as Yhareg val Yavor...the big three. This is all the RCA is going to do!!!
