Labelled rabbi cited as conservative
Mar 14, 2021 at 16:37 comment added יהושע ק @NJM site policy allows for heterodox posts but ideally they should be labelled as such judaism.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1298/…
Mar 14, 2021 at 2:11 comment added NJM @TurkHill Please forgive me if my comment leads anyone to believe ANYONE is not welcome here. I tried to sensitively convey that Jews of other denominations have a different standard of halacha than Orthodox. I can't speak for the Rambam, but seeking the "truth" in terms of halacha can only be done through the lens of a specifically defined mesorah of the Oral and Written Torah, which is not the same among non-Orthodox denominations en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…
Mar 14, 2021 at 1:27 comment added mroll Isn’t there a story in the gemara about rabbi tanchum (?) who’s mother was abusive. And that despite that he had to honor her. Honor does not mean love. It means respecting that this person bore you.
Mar 14, 2021 at 0:57 comment added Turk Hill @NJM Does it make a difference? Where does it say that only "orthodox" Jews are "allowed" on this site? Are Reform and Conservative not welcome here? In any case, Rambam said to accept the truth no matter who says it, even if the people are Reform Jews. I realize this is not your view but the site's so apologize if I sounded to harsh to your comment. On the contrary, I enjoy readings comments.
Mar 14, 2021 at 0:53 comment added NJM Not sure what the stackexchange's policy is on this, but it is important to note that this 'psak' is from a Conservative Rabbi shaareytefilla.org/about/the-rabbi That doesn't mean to say he isn't a wonderfully kind and caring Jew, but they might have different standards of halacha than Orthodox.
