is it so? Jay and you probably never took them seriously - and I don't
think that number of people in your synagogue grew significantly lately
(not to mention number of people who are able to read  halachik opinions
of the Rabbinate and make an informed opinion about them). OTOH, number
of religious Jews in Israsel is growing, and at least some of them
listen to the Rabbinate AFAIK.

ps I assume those who referred in this thread to Josh making his own
halakha will explain how they came to making such an accusation -
did they just assume so or did they make an innocent mistake while
checking opinions of the Rabbinate on their own?
