The emphasis was on “gang rape”, not on “murder”. This is typical. Why is rape seen a crime worse than torture or murder? .. . Isn’t it possible that traditional societies value a woman’s honor more, just as radical feminists and left-liberals do, their pretensions to the contrary notwithstanding?
Why do criminals who severely mutilate their victims get away with it more easily than convicted rapists? Why are women largely let off the hook?””
“Finally, why do rapist deserve “the harshest of punishments”? Is rape worse than murder? Being beaten within an inch of your life? Suffering lifelong disability after being shot, stabbed or bludgeoned? I think the left with its female-driven agenda has managed to create this special category of sex offenses. Once the public at large buys into the idea that sexual assault is the worst crime you can commit against a fellow citizen, worse even that murder apparently,.”

There are more than a few sources that the pyramidal structure of punishment is the Baseline for our faith t that is besides the fact that the higher punishment always overrides the lower punishment

I will try to answer some for the momentNow there’s much to be learned from these serious statements made in our texts regarding slander or haughtiness they’re not meant to be taken literal
remarkable or not the same non-literalist on other issues are so literal all of a sudden over here for these
Baseline for Judaism is the pyramidal structure of punishment .however there’s other factors that must be taken into that edifice
eg, Shabbos even though it is more severe than murder which by the way is decapitation. is not one of the three Cardinal precepts For which for which an individual must forfeit their life for
Second one must factor in unintentional act as well for to kill unintentional they have to flee in Exile which is not the case for Shabbos
a kohan who kills unintentionally is not permitted ever more to go up and Duchan“Incidentally do you know of any discussions regarding which is worse intermarriage or marrying someone who won’t keep taharas hamishpacha.

my grandfather studied in he Telz (Telshe) Yeshiva,
growing a beard was essentially verboten there [he had a mustache it was recommended to grow aby a member of the hanhala)” Rabbi Chaim Ozer [Grodzenski, Rov of Vilna], of blessed memory. He demanded that they place a prohibition on Rabbonim against granting [students who cut their beards] Rabbinic ordination [semichah], on Shochtim against teaching them the skill of ritual slaughtering [shechitah], and on Jewish communities against employing them in any religious position” (Kovetz Yagdil Torah 7:5). ”
Unlikely. If proof is needed read the episode with the shochet In the Autobiography Of
Lieutenant Birnbaum“Rav Kalmanowitz therefore refused to shave, and the Roshei Yeshiva and his friends respected him for it.”
This is accurate indeed only because of who he was and his personalityhe himself didn’t approve Or at least never expressed disapproval of the shita against beards of the
Mirrer Yeshiva Except for those on a much higher levelrav Rabbi Elya Sve his son-in-law reportedly expounded that a bochur with a beard is like a monkey in pajamas

B.’ prominent recent event contributing to the reviving of the white supremacy fear took place in Charlottesville, Virginia in early August 2017. Perhaps, some ill-received statements by Pres. Trump brought to the events a prominence they would not otherwise have gained.
To make a long story short: An ad hoc group convened what was billed as a national meeting to “unite the right.” They also wanted to protest the forthcoming removal of a statue of a Confederate general. They requested and obtained a permit from the city. Some of the protesters wore Klan paraphernalia; some wore Nazi insignia. I think that most did neither. Given the theme of the meeting – “unite…”- it’s very unlikely that most or many did either. It’s hard to tell from the TV footage. Cameras targeted over and over the same handful of colorful and vividly signaling demonstrators. As usual, the reporters on the scene did not try to draw a random (representative) sample of the demonstrators. I don’t expect them to, of course.
There was a physical confrontation with counter-protesters who showed up without a permit (therefore, acting technically unlawfully) and ready for street battle. Some of those called themselves “antifa” (“anti-fascist,” of all things).’..

no matter how much some want to try to claim otherwise how much the public opinion are behind or firmly resist long runa demonstration will certainly determine the long-run whether or
