Reply To: Vaccines and the Shidduch Crisis

The minyan was perfectly legal, it was at the end of the “ban” of minyanim, and most rabbonim who had signed the “ban” signed a new proclamation allowing minyanim just a short while afterwards. Yes I know it was an “oral ruling”; someone sent me the recording. I wouldn’t call it a shiur or a teshuva, though. There wasn’t one ounce of Torah in it, it was pure politics and sinas chinam.

I am being dan l’kaf z’chus that people’s fear got the better of them, but he nevertheless lost a lot of respect in my eyes.

Rav Heineman and others were entitled to their opinions, but those who disagreed with them, including some very choshuve talmidei chachomim, were entitled to theirs as well.

But instead of respecting that others may have a different opinion, people like that rabbi, and like you, just cancel anyone who disagrees.
