Hi, Change denunciation and characterization as misguided by leading Orthodox Jewish authorities. to has led to much debate amongst the wider Jewish community. The quote in the intro of Rabbi Mizrachi being denunciation by prominent orthodox Rabbis does not come from a source of prominent Rabbis but rather from a secular newspaper and someone who Rabbi Mizrachi openly speaks out against as being a false Rabbi. Therefore I think this is not honest writing since the generalized quote is most likely biased. Like saying Trump is dennunciated by prominent right wing politicians and quoting Biden. 5.102.231.147 (talk) 09:22, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Shadow311 (talk) 17:12, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, article already contains sourcing showing support from general public and several leading Israeli rabbis. The rabbis sourced are controversial themselves Boteach mainly for the books "Kosher Jesus" and "Kosher Sex", Slifkiln for his books on Judaism and evolution, while Mirvis and Dweck for supporting same-sex marriage which people have a perogative to support but all four contradict Orthodox Judaism. There was a lot of criticism for a statement about the Holocaust but it was only a criticism of the statement and no ban suggested on the person themselves. The debate garnered by his traditional posturing against intermarriage, old school teachings about reward and punishment, and conventional opposition to gay marriage is definetly a topic of debate in the greater community and upsetting for some but not the majority of Orthodox rabbis.SaintGerbilUK (talk) 06:48, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Shadow311 is correct. The current wording is supported by the sources provided, while the proposed change is not. Mizrachi's ideas are not being "debated" — they are being denounced and condemned. Your contention that "the majority of Orthodox rabbis" are in agreement with his statements is original research and needs a reliable source. Havradim leaf a message 11:50, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
