Reply To: Rabbi J.B. Soloveitchik — A Godol B’Kiruv

ZSK: I did not say that RJBS was in any way, shape or form responsible for the Conservative movement. Au contraire. I said that RJBS was responsible for stemming the tide of the Conservative movement taking away many nominally Orthodox Jews and even many full congregations. People and shuls that may have otherwise disaffilated with Orthodoxy and shifted to the Conservatives, as many Jews and shuls were rachmana litzlon doing during those dark periods. As a result of RJBS, they instead remained affiliated with Modern Orthodoxy.
