Decision of NCYI Vaad Halacha re Yitz sWyne
 (Original PDF}
This is presented as a caution to anyone traveling to Las Vegas and expecting the Young Israel there to be an Orthodox shul. Be advised. More information can be found on other pages of this blog. 

While it is proper the NCYI Vaad Halacha, including Rabbi Peretz Steinberg, has finally seen fit to recognize Yitzchak Wyne for the swine he is, 3 other steps are still necessary.
1- Rita Pine must repudiate her notarization of the forgery created by Mr. P. Lerner (https://cleanupyoungisrael.blogspot.com/2010/05/more-details-and-can-be-found-on.html )
2- Rabbi Peretz Steinberg must retract his "psak" of 24 Elul 5767 (  https://abrv.in/iGnR ) and admit he was misled. He also owes several people a sincere apology for the trouble that psak caused..
3- National Council of Young Israel must acknowledge that the Seruv on Yitz sWyne was always and is still in effect and the actions in support of him and against the widow Susan Shalov and others taken by the leadership at that time were wrong and the NCYI sincerely regrets they did them.

Was Hashem sending a message through this person as he sent one in the time of Yehoshua bin Nun through Yair ben Menashe (Perek ז) when He began the Covid-19 pandemic in America at the Young Israel in New Rochelle?  Baruch Hashem, this person survived but many more did not.
