As a student at Kollel Elyon, Stein was the subject of controversy when he argued in ''Beit Yitchak,'' the seminary's student publication, that the Biblical prohibition against murder applied only murdering a Jew, and that the prohibition against murdering a non-Jew was a rabbinic injunction. At the time, Rabbi [[Irving Greenberg]] suggested that the article indicated a "lack of awareness of the fullness of humanity of gentiles." Yeshiva University Rosh Yeshiva [[Norman Lamm]] defended Stein, noting that the article was a theoretical study and that "had the author had more experience, he would’ve made sure to say the great majority of authorities are against this."<ref>{{cite web|title=Critics Slam Rabbi, YU Over Article on Gentiles|url=https://forward.com/news/6145/critics-slam-rabbi-yu-over-article-on-gentiles}}/</ref>

Since 2014, Stein has been the Rabbi of Congregation Ahavath Chesed, known as the Ridniker Shteibel, a historic synagogue on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where he succeeds Rabbi Shmuel Orenstein, a disciple of Rabbi Baruch Ber Leibowitz, and Rabbi Binyomin Halberstam, a descendant of Rabbi Chaim Halberstam.[6] Before that, Stein was the founding Rabbi of Kehillas Beis Sholom in Clifton, New Jersey, where he served for four years.[7]
