    DaasYochid: What did those guys calling themselves NK today (who actually have no right to the name) do that you refer to them as reshoim? I agree with your wacko description, but the other term requires specific defined activities.

    Does going to Iran and meet with Ahmadinejad count?

    zahavasdad – when oh when will you stop lying constantly?

    Everyone knows that a fringe group of 15 people have been to Iran. they have no support from any Satmar Rebbe, or Eida Chareidis. Letters condemning their actions were published on this website.

    Keep up the lying and outright fabrications….and then quickly scurry away into the darkness.

    As I said, meeting them doesn’t make one. Chillul Shabbos is another story, but it doesn’t sound like they did that from what you said. (Certainly not most). DY?

    The Rally occured on April 22, 2002, that was attended.

    No matter what the cause, its definatly Chilul Shabbos to appear at a rally of some sort (Minimum Ovda D’Chol). They just didnt march, they appeared on the Dais.

    GAW,

    Every shittah in this debate probably can be traced to a single source.

    Certainly, anti-zionism is central to Satmar, but it’s far from their sole reason to exist. It’s a part of their vision (or version, for the cynics) of pure, unadulterated Yiddishkeit, but not the only part.

    Yes (they didn’t merely meet, they showed support).*

    I don’t know about that.

    He didn’t say it was Satmar or Eidah. I brought up NK paranthetically, and that is what his response was about. Save your attacks for where they are warranted.

    DY: I don’t think you understood my point. Chassidish Rebbes are much more likely to follow the shitta of the previous Rebbe because of who he was (and his status of Rebbe flowing from his predecessor). This is opposed to a Litvish Rov (e.g. Rav Chaim Shlita), whose status is not dependent on who his Father or FIL were (even though they were Gedolim). Therefore someone like Rav Chaim has the latitude to disagree with those before him, while a Chassidish Rebbe has much less room to disagree.

    How does picking up a hand to hit someone relate to them?

    GAW: Can you bring even an example of Rav Chaim disagreeing with the Steipler or of Rav Shmuel Auerbach disagreeing with Rav Shlomo Zalman — especially on a large notable issue?

    I am not knowledgable regarding the Israeli Gedolim and their shittos, but was just using Rav Chaim as an example. Perhaps you could help me out here.

    Edit, thought of one possible. What does Rav Shmuel Aurbach hold regarding Hetter Mechira?

    GAW,

    No, I do understand your overall point, but I would hardly count R’ Chaim’s shitah as his own, and the Steiper’s was really the Chazon Ish’s. In E.Y., the shitah of the gedolim won’t change, (but the application might change because of circumstances).

    Where there is some divergence in the Yeshivish’e shitah is between the Briskers and everyone else. Rav Schach, who was very close with the Rov, supported elections (obviously), while the Briskers kept away.

    Rav Moshe Feinstein assured Heart transplants, I have heard that Rav Tendler has permitted it because they are now safer than Rav Moshe assured them (He held that the doctor who removed the heart from the patient halachically killed them)

    ZD,

    There were two reasons for R’ Moshe’s psak.

    1) Killing the recipient. This has likely changed.

    2) Killing the donor. This has likely not changed.

    Rav Moshe’s opinion is best represented by his son R’ Dovid.

    #927995

    Rabbi Tendler is no raya. Besides not being a son, he differs from Rav Moshe frequently.

    DY

    I was talking about the recipient. I dont know Rav Dovid’s opinion on the matter , only Rav Tendler.

    A Son-in-Law can follow a father in Law, Rav Menachem Scheerson was the Son-In-Law of Rav Yitzchok Schnnerson

    And The Steipler followed his Brother-in-Law the Chazon Ish. So it is possible for Shvers to follow.

    ZD,

    Of course it’s possible, but there are many (myself included), who feel that in this case, he doesn’t, even though he often claims to.

    ZD -“I am very well aware of Ellu V Ellu

    However you said it was Assur to vote according to all Gedolim.

    If you had said my rebbe forbids it, that is another issue”

    Funny you must be dyslexic, at least when it comes to reading Charedims’ posts. This is what I posted:

    “It’s Ossur to vote in Israeli elections! Period. End of story.”

    Nowhere does it say “all Gedolim”. It doesn’t even mention anyone; so the most you can assume is that this is my opinion. Instead of asking me what my opinion is based on -you make outlandish comments about R’ Chaim Shlita. And btw, you don’t have to ask me what my opinion is based on now, because I already listed those Gedolim on page 1.

    No way to tell if results are good or bad for Charedi Parties

    Depends who Bibi Coalitions with

    He could go Likud-Habyit Hayudi-Shas-UTJ for about 61 seats , Shas wont got without UTJ

    Or he could go

    Likud-Habit Hayudi-Yesh Atid for about 62 seats

    zahavasdad – Once again you show your utter ignorance at the way the Charedi parties work.

    For starters, Shas will do anything to keep themselves in power. Forget UTJ….they could not care less about them.

    Since you are clueless, I will break it dwon for ya.

    Shall I?

    – A narrow, right-wing and Charedi coalition of 61 Knesset members comprised of Likud-Beitenu, 31 seats, Bayit Yehudi, 12, Shas 12, UTJ 6.

    – A broad coalition of 78 legislators that includes those from centrist parties that said during the election campaign they would be open to a political partnership with Netanyahu:

    Likud-Beitenu, 31 seats, Bayit Yehudi, 12, Shas, 12, UTJ, 6, Yesh Atid, 19.

    That majority could grow to 102 if the centre-left Labor Party, with a projected 17 seats and former foreign minister Tzipi Livni’s Hatnuah party, with 7, also opt to join a Netanyahu coalition.

    Bibi is a polititian. Only the first 61 seats matter, those parties are in the strongest postion, everyone else gets scraps

    He will play Shas/UTJ vs Yesh Atid off each other who will make the most concessions and be amicable to the majority of Likud voters.

    How about a complete shocker/earthquake coalition where Shas teams up with Lapid and Labor, putting Netanyahu into a retirement home!!

    Yesh Atid joining the government can have terrible implications. Lapid, their leader, wants to end Orthodox control of marriage, divorce and conversion. If he succeeds, the number of mamzeirim in E”Y will skyrocket, chas v’shalom.

    Achosid copied and pasted his predictions from Reuters.

    OK, my predictions:

    Likud-Beiteinu 31

    Bayit Yehudi – 12

    Shas +UTJ 18

    Which already gives him a majority.

    In addition, he may go with:

    Yesh Atid – 19

    Labor – 17

    Hatnua – 10

    I think he’s going to go for the center-left coalition. If he does, he can afford to drop Bayit Yehudi, which will make Obama happy.

    Sushee: I was hoping for Bayit Yehudi to get 15, Otzma 2, Shas 13 and UTJ 8. So as to force Netanyahu into a right wing, Chareidi coalition.

    #928014

    Participant

    He is not going to drop Bayit Hayudi. They are natural allies and are fairly close politically and ideolically.

    he cannot have Shas/UTJ and Yesh Aitd in a coalition, Yesh Atid #1 issue seems to be the draft.

    Nobody else can form a coalition as the #2 party is Yesh Atid, There isnt enough votes to get

    #928015

    UTJ never had 8 since ’48. That was an unrealistic hope.

    #928016

    zsd: On that token, Yesh Atid cannot be in a coalition with Bayit Yehudi, as they have opposite demands on the peace process with the Arabs.

    So if Shas + Yesh doesn’t either work, Bibi has no viable coalition.

    #928017

    I think Bibi might not be able to actually form a coalition and Yesh Atid will form one with the center/left.

    According to the Jerusalem Post the first person Bibi called was Lapid.

    It depends what Yesh Atids #1 issue is going to be, Will it be the draft / Payments to Yeshivas or will it be the settlements.

    Which one are they willing to compromise on, that will decide if they join the government and who will be the other party

    torah613613torah – I know I know…I copied from Reuters. Not.

    Did I also copy my initial post from the 2 days ago, when I started this thread?

    In any event, the Charedim Boruch Hashem won BIG today!

    And take note people, did anyone see what kadima got? ZERO!

    That’s right. The animals who stopped the Tal law are history. Like Plesner (the non-Jew) and the rest of that bunch: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/article.php?p=132892

    Mr. Amsalem and Mr. Yitzchok got nothing.

    oh they actually scored very big. Yes, big slots in gehenom for what they did to both Chacham Ovadia, Rav Shteinman, and Rav Kanievsky.

    Zahavasdad: the latest polls show Likud up to 33. So

    Likud 33

    Bayit Yehudi 12

    Shas/UTJ 18

    Is already a pretty safe coalition of 63 seats.

    Sushee, I’m wondering about that too. Amsallem got 1% and Rav Amnon Yitzchak got less than that.

    Achoside: Well, part was from The Forward. I knew the phrase “narrow, right-wing coalition” resonated from somewhere. I’m not disturbed that it happened – just cite your sources!

    I agree with you that overall, it was a good result for the chareidim.
