Journalists Know Nothing Outside of Journalism

Authored by: העורך Editor

Just like we all know purely about our own Panassah\fields of expertise. Of course, politicians are even more ignorant by that measure.

It’s been called the Igon Value Problem.

Wait, so are you calling for the complete abolishment of journalism and politics?

How did you ever notice…? Yes!

Journalism ought to be accurately renamed “news entertainment”.

What Did Rabbi J.B. Soloveitchik Say About Women Covering Their Hair?

Authored by: העורך Editor

Some rabbis from around that era (most called Yosef, interestingly) claimed women need not cover their hair at all, period. Then-modern “Modern Orthodoxy”, with which Rabbi Soloveitchik is partly-correctly associated was lax in various halachos, especially Tznius, of course (things have changed for the better). Nevertheless, Rabbi J.B. Soloveitchik explicitly held, as do virtually all Poskim, married women must cover their hair in Reshus Harabbim.

I saw this in “Conversations With the Rav” p. 114, עיין שם. The author notes the same is recorded in Rabbi Hershel Schachter’s “Nefesh Harav” p. 255 (I don’t have the book).
