    I would think d’rabbonon, but regardless, his foolishness shouldn’t change the fact that it’s pikuach nefesh.

    It certainly does. The guy who is subject to pikuach nefesh isn’t allowed to decide that he doesn’t want to do any issurim so someone else should do issurim instead.

    I’d assume you’re joking. But there are cases that you’d be right. If the pt. wasn’t in danger until it was too late. Btw, I’ve put in lines for pts. on Erev Yom Kippur.

    I’m not joking at all.

    Popa, sure you are. You’re making it seem as if I didn’t agree with you that there’s a balance, and didn’t say (strongly imply) that it’s important that there be other options and that the kid is not on the street.

    No, because we disagree on what the balance is. And we’re not close either. It’s like I’m in shomayim and you’re in gehenim (example of far away places).

    Popa, you’re doing precisely what I asked you not to – taking my comment out of the context I put it into.

    I am not.

    That means your life comes before someone else’s life. It doesn’t mean that your kid listening to rolling stones comes before someone else going OTD.

    I am not aware of any yeshivos which routinely kick kids out “all the time”. In the rare cases where kids are kicked out, the negative influence is usually karov l’vaday. Perhaps you are, and then they’re wrong.

    Sure, karov l’vaday. Of what? That the kids in the class will all go OTD? Unlikely. That some of the other kids might also listen to goyish music? Big deal. You’re killing kids over that.

    If someone needs fluids on yom kippur, and refuses a drink, you don’t give him an IV. You simply let the fool die. Putting an IV in is an issur melacha d’oraisah.

    It does perhaps say that, but it also perhaps says that the parents and administration of that school are less concerned about the inevitable (or possible, if you prefer) negative influence they will have on the other children.

    It’s a balance. The flip side is yeshivos who kick out kids all the time–essentially guaranteeing they will go off the derech–on the safeik that they might negatively influence someone.

    It’s very selfish attitude. You might ask what tenets of chareidi’ism provide that you are supposed to value any amount of risk to your own over any amount of damage to another. I’m not aware of any teaching in the Torah like that, so it must come from outside influences.

    (unless maybe certain areas, i.e. tznius, which as I said before, there is room to be lenient even al pi halacha), R Lichtenstien being a perfect example.

    Certainly with regard to hotzoas shem rah, apparently.

    So? Which part of being chareidi says you should molest kids, or steal, or say lashon hara, or make fun of people on the internet?

    It’s different. Nobody says “I can molest kids, because I’m chareidi, so it’s ok.”

    You’re a moron, because you should have asked about stabbing girls at parades.

    Let’s be honest.

    Don’t listen to anyone who says that its different for each person or that it depends on situation.

    Like anything else in life, the important things are standard.

    We all need to eat. All need to drink. Doesn’t anyone say, oh, eating? Depends on the situation.

    Does anyone say, oh, sleeping? That’s not for everyone.

    Does anyone say, oh, getting married, that’s not for everyone.

    There are real solid answers for what you should discuss at every step, and don’t let the ignoramouses confuse you.

    Gimme break. Nobody is “swinging it over and around.” If you can’t make your point without mischaracterizing the other side, it isn’t a good point.

    in reply to: Singing in Davening #1100673
    popa_bar_abba

    When the yeshivas were established in Europe, there was a shift of emphasis from choosing a chazzan with a kol na’eh to selecting a tzaddik to lead the davening — regardless of his voice or ability to carry a tune.

    I didn’t know that, but I can bring a smach to that. The sh’atz says in his teffila: ???????? ??????????? ??????????? ????? ????????

    ????????? ????? ????????? ???????? ???????? ??????

    ?????????? ???????? ??? ????????????

    So apparently the assumption is that those are the things that the sh’atz isn’t: a zakein v’ragil, with a nice beard, and a nice voice, and well liked. Rather, they hire a young beardless jerk with a terrible voice who knows the nussach well.

    Who doesn’t feed the chickens? I’ve seen them feeding the chickens. You think because they aren’t constantly being fed whenever you walk by that they aren’t being fed? Are you constantly eating? Do you believe every blood libel that is thrown at us by the anti-semites?

    The shul I was at for YK didn’t sing “ki anu amecha” correctly. Instead of doing the normal tune, they said it responsively (I always wondered how Artscroll got that wrong). And each chazzan had a different sort of chant for it, so nobody had any idea what to do.

    It was the least inspiring version of the most inspiring teffila I’ve ever seen. Weirdest part was they knew the tune, because the did the correct lead in for “selach lanu, mechal lanu, kaper lanu.”

    Also, in my yeshiva, the assarah harugei malchus took like 20 minutes and was the most inspiring part of mussaf. But at my new shul they basically just babble it.

    In case Hashem gave you a gezeira of “matnas bosor v’dom” that you would need to rely on others for sustenance, this should be it.

    One year, we lined up, and he gave each guy smack on the nose. He said in case there was a gezeirah of getting beaten up, this should be it.
