If asked to name five liberal Modern Orthodox rabbis leading their agenda these days, most observers would include him, just after Weiss and Angel. More importantly for this item in particular, Lopatin is the only Modern Orthodox leader I'm aware of to make a statement of such support for the Triangle K and Ralbag -- where the vast majority of rabbis would say the opposite based upon no personal investigation at all.

In what alternate universe is Asher Lopatin “major”? Because Rahm Emanuel belonged to the synagogue Asher is leaving?

A major rabbi would have done a little more than have one telephone conversation.

I have to know this before we can purchase the product, as it is something my husband and I take seriously. Would appreciate your input!

It sounds to me that they're okay with the hot dogs, uncomfortable with the stigma they'll create.
