PY,I understand. first we start with a flawed premise of the heterodox (that our understanding of chessed is BETTER than Hashem’s understanding), and we just rewrite the Torah wholesale to fit our understanding. I guess akeidas yitzchok is just written out of the torah, as it’s cruel to ask someone to kill his only child, but what do you lain on rosh hashana? This is the same approach that Conservative and Reform took, and may be “valid” for other streams who view the Torah as not being divine and perfect in origin, but is not an approach to be endorsed by the RCA. So you just confirmed Rabbi Adlerstein’s premise- Avi Weiss is nonorthodox and shouldn’t be a part of the Orthodox RCA.
