Headlines in Halacha Podcast: Dealing with CW and his ilk

Find it here.

Rabbi Dovid Lichtenstein stresses throughout that the posthumous honor and legitimization granted to the criminal CW and his actions are completely against the Torah, of course.

His discussion with Rabbi Zalman Graus is worth listening to, though obtuse listeners clearly misunderstand his message to be the opposite of his intention (that’s how I heard of this episode).

Rabbi Aharon Sorscher describes his own outrageous experience with victim-blaming (“victim-and-family-revictimization” is more like it).

Note: Rabbi Dovid Lichtenstein, the show’s host, mentions in the intro he holds in his hand a Get that says “you are permitted to all except CW” (from a Beis Din in Petach Tikvah), but this is probably just a record, not the original. Even this is a chiddush.
