Matzav.com has learned exclusively that an “Open Orthodox” institution has paskened that women should not listen to Parshas Zachor. The מהר״ת said that people should never think that there is a חיוב or even any reason at all to listen to a male (זכר).
In other news, the Open Orthodox institution took their ספרי תורה to the סופרת to be corrected. They found a פסול by פרשת קרח. The מהר״ת pulled out her Maxwell House הגדה and showed that it should be spelled כורך.
The סופרת also changed the מגילה to say, “להיות כל איש משרת בביתה.”
Stay tuned for other breaking developments.

Hillarious
You might not agree with them but that does not give you the right to tear them down for a joke.
very nice– the “frum” world making fun of the modern world.
just what purim is all about.
Umm, this is a little disingenuous, even for Purim
Is this supposed to be funny? I fail to see the humor. Purim shpiels are supposed to be funny.
pure sinas chinam. plain and simple. get a life matzav
This is not the “frum” world making fun of the modern world. Open Orthodoxy has distanced themselves from the frum world by their actions.
inapproprite and degrading
Why is this funny?
Very Shvach they could have spoofed this one much better.Ex. Open Orthodoxy supports attendance at the Mishteh HaMelech Achashveirosh – unlike the backwards Mordechai HaTzadik we at Open Orthodoxy feel that attending the Mishteh HaMelech will usher in a new era of good feelings .
Of course a Open Orthodoxy press release after the Mishteh denouncing Vashti`s killing and a call for increased women rights
For all the cry babies please see Rambam Aivel 1:10
Please do not make fun of over Jews where they will probably not find it funny.
loshon hora even for Purim & no I definitely do not hold from yct….
Lietzanusa D’avoda Zara includes dei’os kozvos.

It would appear she holds like Chinuch, Avnei Nezer, Chazon Ish, The Griz MBrisk, Divrei Chaim, Arugos Habosem
Ditto to #13.
This is based on a total misunderstanding of the woman’s obligation to hear Parashas Zachor. The correct women’s reading is Isha ki sazria v’yoldah zachar. I hope this is helpful.
Keep poking fun Matzav…see how far it gets you
# 13, please don’t let halacha get in way of sinas chinam.
Please remember that the Gemarah in Yoma 9b says that sinas chinam destroyed the Second Beis Hamikdash. We should be fighting the insidious nature of so-call Open orthodoxy, but not like this. HaShem expects better of Us!
lWhether the attempt at humor was a success,the purpose is laudatory.
( The dear Chofetz Chaim would have been a ‘hater’ by some of these bloggers,for having wished to kill the jewish communists)
While I will not offer my own opinion do you know hilchos loshon hora well enough to claim that this is loshon hora and is there really sinas chinom involved to those who are sickened/saddened by those who distort torah hashkofo etc because they have sadly been corrupted by secular ideologies may hashem help all of us view andreact to life thru the lens of proper torah attitudes
THIS JUST IN: A large grou has recently patented that it isn’t tznius for the Megilllah to be named after a woman. From now on, it is to be called Megillas Mordechai.
reb moshe says women do not need to hear it
no such orgoanazition
Once again you have found a new low. Even for yourselves that is impressive. This is just shows how immature and infantile you are. It shows that you are not emes.
I didn’t know that the issur of motzi shem ra was suspended for Purim.
I think this is funny. These women have distanced themselves completely from Torah and have made a mockery of it. It’s part of the today’s radical women’s movements. Has nothing to do with Torah true Judaism. Just as the orthodox world has distanced itself from the reform movement, so they must distance themselves from these radicals also. This is not loshon hara.
To all hypocrites here:
You are all well aware of the put downs and deragatory humor for erliche yidden on dozens of websites,and I have never once seen any complaints
Very immature and in poor taste
i’m all for a good joke but this just isn’t funny
I really enjoyed this one matzav. Keep up the good work. No one is making fun of anyone personally. Matzav is simply poking fun at an anti Torah organization.
Sorry to the “can’t we all just get along” crowd. Open Orthodoxy beliefs deserve to be mocked, just as Reform and Conservative and Jews for J. No halachic problem at all.
Agree with #26, Anonymous and #31, Not controversial. What is wrong with the other commenters not knowing and understanding what is blasphemous/heretical. This “open orthodoxy” is blasphemous and no different than the reform and reconstructionist movements and the JforJ messianic movement. This is not considered loshon horah, in any way – in fact, should be considered a mitzvah!
