If
you haven't yet doubted the honesty reviews of books by prominent
Orthodox rabbis, if you really believe that many favorable reviews and
articles they publish about Chabad are true (rather than propaganda), or
that many Jewish newspapers and magazines aren't careful about
separating actual real reviews from promotional content, read the
following email exchange between Chabad Rabbi Chaim Dalfin and the OU's
executive VP emeritus Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb.

If you haven't yet doubted the honesty reviews of books by prominent Orthodox rabbis, if you really believe that many favorable reviews and articles they publish about Chabad are true (rather than propaganda), or that many Jewish newspapers and magazines aren't careful about separating actual real reviews from promotional content, read the following email exchange between Chabad Rabbi Chaim Dalfin and the OU's executive VP emeritus Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb.
Weinreb, who is a psychotherapist with a PhD in psychology and who is presented by the OU and other Orthodox sources as a scholar on domestic abuse, coaches Dalfin on how to deal with the alleged sex abuse committed by Shlomo Carlebach (who was for a time a Chabad-Lubavitch hasid and emissary).
Dalfin claims that while Shlomo "chased women" at Stern College in 1960, that isn't the abuse Lilith Magazine and Ha'aretz accused Shlomo of, and Dalfin says his "research" shows that Carlebach's issue was only "sexual desire" – not sex abuse.
Weinreb seemingly accepts this answer and agrees to submit a favorable review to dozens of media outlets – despite knowing that there lots of women who claim that Shlomo sexually abused them, and that some of those women were minors when the alleged abuse took place.
What you have here is extreme dishonesty, corruption and a craven disregard for the victims of sex abuse – all enabled and promoted by Weinreb, who the OU has presented as the champion of victims (an image Weinreb himself promotes), and who was given his job at the OU to help clean it up after the Baruch Lanner scandal. But the OU was never cleaned.
And here you have a good piece of evidence for why that is so.
