Mike –
“charlie: Did you ask this shaila to the Rabbi (Avi Weiss) where you pray?
we all know where Pacman was going with this…it was meant as a passive aggressive personal attack.”
While we all realize this is a put down -I don’t know what Charlie posted -it was deleted -maybe the put down was warranted.
“Packman…a Jew should lie to a judge? Doesn’t sound very frum to me”
There are times when one is allowed to lie. Lying to prevent being Oiver an Issur would be one of them. In the Court system -this would depend on the situation. I don’t think Joe holds that you can lie to a Judge whenever you feel like it.
On a funny side note -there is now an ad for some bank card I saw on the net. The viking kid (with a beard of course) standing next to a chopped down cherry blossom tree with his ax, with Wash., DC in the background, says to his father -“I cannot tell a lie” and points to his goat and says -“He did it”. Very funny!
