Rabbi Dweck is a courageous voice for authentic, dynamic Judaism. He represents the rich heritage of Sephardi Hashkafah and Halakhic insight that has been all but swallowed up by an increasingly insular Ashkenazi worldview.

Rabbi Dweck's did a great job in assembling various sources, and presenting the subject properly. He should be praised for his brave act. If orthodox rabbinate wishes to remain relevant it should listen to other voices, not silence them. Hazak u-Varukh. YBN

Bullying rabbis who have divergent opinions is not Torah-observant Judaism, just read the Gemara. Perpetuating bigotry and exclusion of people in same-gender relationships from the Jewish community makes all of the rabbis involved seem increasingly irrelevant and out of touch with Klal Yisrael. Keep doing what you're doing, Rabbi Dweck. The haters will hate. Hashem will be their judge.

This inquisition style attack against Rabbi Dweck (which is now past the issue of homosexuals) must stop. It is not the way of Torah and Judaism.

Sending the London S&P community my heartfelt support. May you mobilize the kochot to persevere against the tribalism that has historically brought the Jewish People down in kedushah.

Proud to learn from Rabbi Dwek. Proud the S&P are standing with him, recognising his integrity, learning and leadership. Ashamed that other rabbis are bullying him rather than allowing his voice to be heard

Why is Orthodox Jewry so intolerant ?

I don't know Rabbi Dwek personally, but I am an orthodox Jew who also thinks that we should acknowledge and love every member of our community whatever the love life may look like. I find it brave and necessary that some orthodox rabbi is ready to address the topic.

The way he's been treated is sinat hinam and the reason we were exiled in the first place. Shame!!

He is a man of integrity who wishes to include, not exclude.

revenge from unrequited love and rabbis who try to hold onto power are in the same league

Grateful for the understanding, wisdom and bravery of Rabbi Dweck. Signing for those who have felt or continue to feel excluded from the Jewish community based on sexual orientation.
