Is an orthodox news site allowed
to be proud of the achivements of
an NFL star who has a jewish
father?
What is the message to young
kids?
Its ok to marry out as long as
your kids are successful?What is the message to young
kids?
Its ok to marry out as long as
your kids are successful?I don’t see how that’s the message, but yes, the whole thing is really odd.
Being a sports star isn’t a success. That being one’s life is a monumental failure.
Like it or not, Look into this mans life beyond the fact that he is actually only 1/4 Jewish (His father isnt halachically jewish either, Only his fathers father is jewish) , His actions are a “Kiddisuh Hashem” if one can say that for someone who isnt halachically jewish , but everyone thinks he is jewish. He gives time and money to jewish causes, He stands up for jewish people like in Pittsburgh.
Being a famous Sports star can make a difference to many organizations especially with help financially
There certainly are Poskim (Like Rav Ovadiah Yosef) who would allow him to convert on a much quicker track than just some random person off the street
His actions are a “Kiddisuh Hashem” if one can say that for someone who isnt halachically jewish
You can’t
Dont be so sure about that
And unfortunatly the reverse is probably true as well. Someone who is not Halachically jewish, but the whole world considers to be jewish does something terrible, its likely a Chilul Hashem
ZD: You really have no idea what K”H and C”H mean.
Zehavasdad,
I’m not sure what you mean that his life is a Kiddush hashem, his home life has been trashy tabloid fodder and he missed a quarter of this season because of a steroid suspension. So off the field he’s no role model and on the field he looks for cheap shortcuts over hard workI am certainly up to having him help me raise money for my Tzdekah, I am not up to having him get an Aliyah at my Minyan
yes a goy can make a kiddish
Hashem
but in certain cases we can’t
take money from them for charityMost tzdakahs would take his money especially since he is a Zera Yisroel.
LH seems to have some obsession with Hitler comparisons and only devalues his comments with his hyperbole. No need to comment further. As to YWN coverage, the readership of this site, while highly diverse in their views and outlook are almost universally capable of sorting out the pop culture and general news interest stuff from somehow coming away with the notion that intermarriage or other behaviors contrary to halacha are being “endorsed” by being covered here.
Is it interesting? To me it was.
Is it current? Yes.
That makes it news.
Is it yeshivish? Hmmmm. ..thats a good question.

Hmmmm. ..thats a good question.Like it or not intermarrage is here and not going away R’L (Even in the charedi world, it unfortunatly exists) , there are many offspring from such unions and we have to deal with them whether we like it or not. PUtting your head in the sand and saying it doesnt happen, just isnt going to work
Actually…. I thought that YWN wanted to show the world that he was NOT Jewish….and did so in a very nice way….while the internet was busy claiming he was Jewish. Of course the haters like yourselves are two small-minded to use their pea-sized brains.
