כך מספרים על הגאון הרב שלמה דוד כהנא, אבל מאד תמוה לקבל את המספרים הללו, בלי הסבר הגון מאדם אמין כיצד ואיך זה נבדק (א”י אם זה נאמר מתוך כונה לגנותו או “לשבחו”).
גם גדולי ישראל עמדו לצדו.
מה שנכון הוא, שיש רבנים שהקילו הרבה יותר מדי בהתרת עגונות במשך הדורות, וכמו שהעירו ורמזו רבים וטובים, כולל גם מורנו הרב יצחק ברנד שליט”א.
Well, these days commemorate significant occasions of state “achievements”. One for the day anti-Zionism got Jewish boys killed (and still does), another for the day the country devolved from private defense associations (Etzel, Lechi and Haganah) into an oligarchic “democracy”, and lastly, “Holocaust Remembrance Day” for the accomplishment of assisting the Nazis in wiping out non-state-affiliated Jews in Germany.
My sincere apologies for any offense taken by lying authoritarians.
Who wants good people in government? Good people should be in the private sector. Helping us out, helping themselves out in the private sector. We want schmoes in government. We want people who can’t find the doorknob. Why waste productive people, as well as looting the taxpayer?
Jews make blessings upon the occasion of enjoying food and other things (“Birkos Hanehenin”). Jews don’t need to bless their food because the Jews (and everything to do with them) are already blessed, see the Bible. Personally, if my food was in bad enough condition to require preceding a Bracha, I would rather go hungry!
So what is this I hear about Kabbalists distributing “blessed” oil, water, coins, fruit…?
Don’t know. I wouldn’t know how to go about finding the answer easily and I’m far too nervous to try. Either way, it’s not my problem. Let them justify whatever it is they think they do.
