“I base my opinions on Halacha”

I’ll summarize an often repeated story of a famous Rov, which I think brings this into focus:

From a “halacha” standpoint, you can board a train on Shabbos

From a “halacha” standoint, going to mikvah Shabbos morning presents a whole host of problems.

But the person who goes to mikvah Shabbos morning is an erliche yid, and the person who boards a train on shabbos is a shiy-gatz!

Knowing halacha is one thing. How to correctly apply it to everyday life is another. For that, we turn to our Manhegei Ha’Dor.

So with that said, what do the Rabbonim / Rebbes / Roshei Yeshiva you hold dear think of the antics of DSK and Amanda?

And more importantly, what do they think should be your reaction to people like that?

If you haven’t asked them, you might want to consider it.
