In this thread, discuss all the things I didn’t want you to discuss in my other thread. Specifically, what you think about chumros.
Kol hamosif gorea.
Of course kol hagorea goreah is also true. 🙂
Some chumros have a place, and others are just that – chumros -but not halacha; certainly not what Hashem asked of us, and therefore a potential problem when those who follow them believe themselves to be better Jews than those who don’t, and act accordingly. (Because that is what often causes divisiveness amongst Yidden, that, and not the fact that the less machmir are not frum enough).
Yeah, the guy especially liked the quote “??? ???? ?? ?????” being used to mattir chodosh.
Greatness!
Once a charedi — the real deal, as in he was sent by R’ Yosef Chaim Zonnenfeld’s Beis Din — walked into Rav Kook’s beis din in Yerushalayim on some errand or other. He was upset to see that the beis din had modern trappings like filing cabinets and secretaries with typewriters and complained to Rav Kook that it says “chodosh assur min haTorah”. Rav Kook answered that he learns pshat differently. The bochur asked “how?” Rav Kook answered “Poshut! It means that we cannot eat grain from the new crop until the omer is brought!”
some people feel that that is the only way to get closer to G-d and make themselves a better person.
if thats the case go for it
but for many people thats not the case so if so dont
chumros bug me. but chumra haters, them i want to hit.
