    while i completely agree with the coverage of the lev tahor terrorists, im also wondering whether YWN asked a shaila about its portrayal of Ami, it is very rare to actually have a situation in which loshon hora is muttar (as is clear from sefer cc), especially in very public forums, what exactly is the toeles in blasting someone eleven years after the fact? and “holding accountable” is a very vague and weak justification which i highly doubt would hold up to halachic scrutiny

    would the ywn moderators either respond to my post or take down/edit the lev tahor page. at least tell us if youve asked a rav about it

    The YWN Coffee Room is a different department than the actual articles, so if you want to contact the editor, use the contact link on the right hand side of the menu on top.

    YWN is right and this was discussed at the time of the Ami article. Ami is desperate to steer clear of controversy, yet equally desperate to find materiel to write on. So they promote cults like Lev Tahor and the Burka Ladies as some sort of misunderstood extra chumra.

    If you hold Lev Tahor has a din of rodfim (which is very likely true) and Ami is protecting the rodef from carrying out it’s evil then Ami has joined forces with the forces of evil.

    This is more than just your typical “I think your shita is krum”. We are discussing evil individuals harming others both physically and spiritually. In such cases, it is not lashon hara if everyone must do what is possible to stop them.

    I can’t answer whether they asked a rabbi, but I would imagine they did.
    Remember, if there is no rabbinical guidance there isn’t much that separates the “kosher news sites” from the major sites.

    Mishpacha and Ami are both left-wing rags; though Ami is worse.

    yeshivaguy- ok thanks, a moderator did defend the article in the comments section though

    yserbius-again, ywn may be right but that is not a heter for loshon hora

    ard,

    It’s just as critical for YWN readers to know that they can’t trust anything that “rabbi Oscar Mayer” prints in his rag, as to know that Lev Yahor is a murderous and abusive cult.

    Ard, did you ask a rav before starting this lashon harah thread blasting YWN? Just curious.

    ard,

    How pious of you!

    When are you going to demand the name of the RAV who permitted “rabbi Oscar Mayer” to whitewash a murderous cult? Have you ever even learned sefer chofetz chaim about the obligation to protect Jewish lives through speech, quite literally in this case?

    @fakenews
    , I’m sorry but I can’t figure out if you are being sarcastic or very naive.

    @Aseh maat ve emor harbeh:
    I was aiming for a bit of each with a sprinkle of wishful thinking.
