 To Rabbi Hirsch, any Orthodox community that belonged to an umbrella organization with heterodox groups had no right to represent authentic Torah Judaism.This caused a rift within German Orthodoxy, for while many within the Orthodox community aligned themselves with Rabbi Hirsch’s philosophy, many others did not.Rabbi Hoffman’s "kehillah" did not separate itself from the general community, and therefore, in the eyes of those in Adas Yeshurun, did not represent authentic Orthodoxy.
