Tsipporah emails: Hi Luke,
I’m new to all of this, so please help me understand how this works:
The RCC issued a seiruv on a guy Meir Kin because of his divorce. And a seiruv means he can’t get an aliya in shul, can’t be counted in a minyan, etc. And the idea is to put social pressure so he goes along with their divorce program.
Am I missing something? Does the sex offender David Mazlin get to be counted in a minyan & have an aliya? Is there social pressure for him to only be sexually attracted to adults?
I’m assuming I must be missing something, because if this were true it would just be so crazy & make no sense whatsoever…
