It feels like Friday, but it really is still Tuesday. And I have some links that I think are worth sharing today:
- Rav Shteinman On Torah, Steak And Ice Cream. One of our ‘gedolim’ pretends not to know what ice cream or steak is and is very insensitive towards a yeshiva bochur that happened not to like learning Torah. Familiar, anyone?
- OTD shares some thoughts with us about living at home. Going OTD has ramifications for the family (shidduchim, how do I approach other people’s beliefs?). Many thought to ponder and he deserves our advise.
- Daat Emet has a great section of Questions & Answers with some interesting English translations as well. This one is called Mass Revelation (make sure to click the English flag here!) where he refutes some Lawrence Kelemen arguments. He questions the assertion that people always double-check what their religious leaders tell them by referring to some urban legends. Also, he disputes assertion that what needs to be disproven is the fabrication of a story out of a whole cloth, whereas it is more likely a story that developed over time.
Since this idiotic story was related by a less then disinterested party, it's also possible that it's not true.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteSY: Sure, but the whole fact this story is being retold as a lesson for others almost made me puke.
ReplyDeleteUK: you're 100% right in that respect.
