[edit]The following material was repeatedly deleted by an IP:
"On 3.11.2015 the Moetzes of Agudath Israel of America declared Open Orthodoxy, Yeshivat Chovevei Torah, Yeshivat Maharat and other affiliated entities to be similar to other dissident movements throughout Jewish history in having rejected basic tenets of Judaism.[1][2][3]"

Since Herzfeld apparently declares himself open orthodox, this information is pertinent. Similarly, if all the institutions of orthodox Judaism, including modern orthodox, have rejected the so-called "open orthodoxy", one can legitimately ask in what sense can Herzfeld be described as an orthodox rabbi.

- As I've repeatedly written in my edit summaries, please read WP:BLP. The sources don't mention Shmuel Herzfeld, the subject of this biography, and thus are not appropriate for this article. Find sources that mention him. 63.116.31.198 (talk) 17:46, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
