Maybe im just too sensitive to hypocrisie than all the rest of you.
It may not bother you to aknowledge the directives of the rabbonim and in the same breath write that you are jumping over them. But it bothers me greatly.
Bogen, my whole point was that we should have gedarim as opposed to outright bans, which if you’ve been alive since this topic was posted on YWN, yo would know never work.
gawkerParticipantfeivel,
You have assimilated by taking part in this internet forum……..and you didn’t understand what I said or what dovid_yehuda said.
gawkerParticipantWhich jewelery store do you work in?
gawkerParticipantdovid_yehuda,
I doubt it was your intention, but you actually stengthened my point.
gawkerParticipantgavra_at_work
If you feel you are being influenced by the outside world to do evil, then you should leave town. But most people can live our lives without being affected by what occurs in San Francisco, or what billboards there are in Time Square, or anything else. What happens, happens, and we go on and live our lives.
And that is exactly my point. That we live our lives with evil around us and yet we persevere.
gawkerParticipantnotpashut,
Those are nice slogans, but they dont actually address the issue. In fact your argument is faulty, in that you are right that TV can be avoided and credit cards can be avoided, and if someone wants to they can avoid trains, planes and automobiles. I am referring to most people who do not live in Lancaster or New Square.
gawkerParticipantMy “agenda” was as Areivimzehlazeh correctly assumed, to begin a dialog on this issue. That of acclimating ourselves to our surroundings. It can’t be denied that it has happened on almost every level. When trains were first introduced into European towns many Rabbonim were against it. It was a train. It’s unfathomable to imagine the world today without it.
What we are against today will be the basics of lives in the future. Shouldn’t we all just aknowledge that the internet is here to stay and begin to adapt it to our purposes. Many people use various types of filters. But spending time and energy to ban something that is here to stay is pretty absurd. I heard that the Belzer Rebbe allows his chassidm to have internet. This rebbe is a realist.
I’m sure people can think of other issues that we can or have already adapted to. The internet is just one example. And adapting doesnt mean changing halacha, it means adapting other things to fit OUR lifetsyle.
gawkerParticipantIf youve seen the ipod touch, its similar, only when you press an onscreen button it clicks like a real button.
gawkerParticipantAzi,
I was at the Gellis/Reichman chassuna too (If it’s the one that took place in Ateres Avrom). I didnt know the singers name was Shloimy Steinman. He was pretty good.
gawkerParticipantI cant believe what im reading. when there are other ways to fix this problem – for example: the askanim working on it now – it was totaly wrong fot someone to go near this place.
(a) we dont know that you cant see asurim from the door, azi didnt tell us, maybe the door is in middle of the room.
(b) im not happy to hear that because somone goes there at night he would not be seen! Rebonai Shel Olam, isnt this how frum people would be able to attend such a place? No one should be able to hear that a person was able to be there with out someone seeing him.
gawkerParticipantI dont know how you can say ??? ????? ??? ???? ????, when a man walked into a gents club. This can under no circumstances be right. he should have sent his wife.
