A friend asked me:
"Vu shtait geshribben that a rabbi may not officiate at a mixed
wedding?". Apparently a Reformist argued to my buddy that since the
couple is doing the deed NOT the rabbi therefore the Rabbi himself is
off the hook.

I answered that it is patently obvious. What if a Jew asked a rabbi (or
any frum Jew) to serve him chazzir!? Is he allowed just because he -
the rabbi himself - is not eating? Of course not!

So my buddy agrees with the svara but is looking for something explicit
in writing. I suspect that shu"t literature would have this somewhere.

Anyone got a Bar-Ilan CD?
