“ There is a mitzvah of "hochai'ach tochiach es amisech vilo seesa oluv chait" this is brought lihalacha in shulcchan aruch, orech chaim s. 608:2. Not like some MO think that dina dimalchusa allows mixed dancing so who is this rabbi to mix in? Halacha is always the bottom line and MO ignorance of shulchan aruch is not an excuse.

Too bad he did not storm into a room when people where money laundering ”

“ I find it hard to believe this article that Rabbi Aderet CURSED "they would be cursed with “illness, bankruptcy and tragedy for eternity,” .
