Seems pretty tasteless, no? I know the family doesn’t appreciate publicity.
To posek: How do you think they got the letters if not from the family!?
#1, do you really think they did this without asking?
The letters are to the family. Obviously they agreed. How else would the magazine get the letters?
#1, I certainly would’nt go running to you to pasken my sheilois. Use a little common sense next time you post, if you use your nickname “posek”
