Revisionist History

I saw an fundraising campaign for a radical feminist institution. The claim was made that it has the haskama of Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach.

RAV SHLOMO ZALMAN AUERBACH ztz"l a radical hard core feminist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS VISHAAALOMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If he actually gave them his bracha then he clearly didn't know the nature of this institution which is really Conservative/Reform under the guise of Orthodoxy. 

Back in the day Conservative and Reform were the greatest dangers to Torah. Today those movements are all but dead. The greatest danger [possibly - I have a different candidate] are those who claim to be "Orthodox" while trying to change the Torah from the "inside". Radical militant feminism, even under the "Orthodox" banner, is in that category.

To use Rav Shlomo Zalman's name to raise money for such people is EXTREMELY dishonest.
