Wedding dilemma

I AM confused by the letter about unsupervised catering at the wedding of a rabbi's grandson.

There are two possibilities - either the grandfather-rabbi was Orthodox or not. Martin Stern wrote that he had assumed the function would be kosher and only found out by chance that it wasn't - so it seems likely he was.

Otherwise, I would have thought Mr Stern would have assumed the worst and made inquiries straight away. On the other hand, he quotes Liberal Rabbi David Goldberg, which makes no sense unless the rabbi was non-Orthodox. Which is right?

The rabbi referred to was Orthodox but we witheld his name for legal reasons - Editor
