Reb Yitz Responds

Menachem posts about a recent article in The Commentator by R. Yitz Greenberg about his tenure at YU. Once again, I am stunned by the leeway The Commentator has given to authors in its YUdaica series to criticize YU. R. Greenberg also takes the opportunity to criticize "the right wing," Modern Orthodox leadership and, in particular, R. Aharon Lichtenstein. R. Greenberg also makes it clear, again and again, why he is no longer considered part of normative orthodoxy.

As a bonus, Menachem directs us to copies of R. Greenberg's original article(s) from 1966 in The Commentator and R. Aharon Lichtenstein's response (here, PDF). In the current article, R. Greenberg refers to his second article (or first, depending on how you count them) as disingenuous.
