A little about myself
Sveta:
I am going to wait for ChabadKahanist to review your replies since he asked the question. The problem is that you did stall for a while before you could answer it. Did you have to do some research in order to know what to say?
This still does not explain why your JTF profile picture shows you as an older looking man with gray hair and how suddenly on facebook you're young. I don't want to post the screenshot that I have.
I really don't believe you at all. I can't believe someone with two totally different pictures. Gray bearded rabbi in one, young looking man in another kissing a woman not modestly dressed. I honestly think you lost your credibility here. I am not sure what you are trying to prove. I won't post the screenshot because I am just not heartless enough to do something like that. I can send it to the admins and they can determine if they believe you or not. No one can tell me someone with that profile is an Orthodox rabbi. We have to be very careful these days, I have seen plenty of men on facebook who may try to look "orthodox" and then you find out something totally different. I had the unfortunate experience of seeing another man calling himself a "rabbi" with a black hat and beard and upon further investigation, his wife (his "rebbetzin") was a messianic. I am not saying that you are a messianic, but what I am saying is that I just cannot believe after seeing that, that you are an "Orthodox Rabbi".
Call me crazy but I spent half of my week in an Orthodox community- NONE of those rabbis are going to advertise that they do "non-denominational" weddings. You may say it's ok to preside over one as a representative of the state but your mistake is telling people on this forum, people who LIVE in Jewish communities that this is normal and we don't know what we're talking about. I can understand if a rabbi like Rabbi Richman presides over noahide weddings, because he encourages Noahides in a positive way. I understand if some MO rabbi decides to "symbolically" preside over the marriage of friend BUT THIS IS OUT OF THE NORM and not advertised. The "rabbis" who advertize such a thing are usually "reform".
And now who is "Rabbi Aminadav Hinton"??? I googled him and he's some messianic rabbi. What are you trying to do here? Is that another name you use or someone you copy-pasted or quoting? Should I even insist you post a copy of your smicha? I don't know. I don't think it matters anymore.

I am attaching a screenshot of the messianic link that comes up with "Rabbi Aminadav Hinton".
Sveta:
Some results came up messianic and others anti-messianic for that other rabbi.
"Aminadav has received Rabbinic Smicha from:Yeshivah Petah Tikvah Jewish Theological School" ...yet he and you founded Petah Tikvah. Did he get his smicha from the very place he created? This is so confusing.

You know what? I am done. I don't believe you. You can say you're a rabbi and do your weddings and give out online smichas to people. I don't care.
rabbicummings:
First of all I can assure you Rabbi Hinton is not messianic. If you have questions for Rabbi Hinton, ask him for yourself [[email protected]], I do not speek behind another rabbi's back. Second of all, it took time to answer because I have Jobs, a family, and students whom come first. I have not been here on this forum since the day I joined until today. And I do not respond when I am angry,I take time to cool off, remove the shackles of frustration and then respond with a cool head so that the very grave sin that I am soon going to mention isn't done by myself in moments of heat, displeasure and frustration. I joined the forum to meet like minded people and to discuss the issues we Jews face in Israel and America. I do not have to prove myself to you or anyone else, I know who and what I am and so does the only one who matters "Hashem". Just to let you all know, you are committing major Ha'Yetzer Rah, Lashon Ha'Rah and that is vastly against Halacha. You keep pulling hairs seeking to cause Plotz and this is not the character of a Jew, a secular one yes, but not a "Torah Jew". I have done nothing against anyone, I have not mislead or mistreated anyone and yet you act in Ish Lashon- You have to deal with Hashem now. This also damages Klal Yisroel to speak against another Jew. This is damaging, heretical.
Sveta:
Hmm loshon hara? Not according to the Chofetz Chaim. We are able to speak out against someone who is misleading people by calling himself a rabbi, because ultimately they damage Israel more. The only prohibition is that we are not to enjoy rebuking the person and I am not enjoying this. I feel sickened by it.
If you call yourself a rabbi and won't post your smicha, that's troubling. Every rabbi should be ready to show this proof. The only other time another "rabbi" who didn't show his smicha was "asher meza" and we know how we feel about him on this forum.
Ok, so don't prove anything to us. Just one question. Is your catering business fully kosher? Who certifies it kosher? You must have a hechsher you can post for it. That you must prove in full display if you serve food to Jews. So... is it kosher?

Oh wait, they serve pork. Come on, rabbi. You do non-denom weddings AND serve Grilled Pork Chop Spanish Style and ham?
rabbicummings:
That business is run now by my ex-partner. I do not have anything to do with it any more, He wanted to serve pork and etc. So whatever. And I never said I would not show my smicha, Did I?
