Do me a favour. Did any of you consider that he Paskens like that because he actually thinks it's the Halocho!<br /><br />R' Moshe Tendler paskens that we have to spray local anaesthetic beforehand so the kid doesn't have unnecessary pain. Anyone have a problem with that? Where does it say that the kid has to scream and yell? Instead, we stick a cotton wool with wine in it's mouth to help him with pain.<br /><br />Get real people.

While the Aguda are STILL creating some new universal layer, a Daas Torah for abuse, R' Schachter is saying <b>nothing</b> of the sort.<br /><br />In his own words, he doesn't have a long beard, so perhaps his words don't count as much in the long bearded, long pesos world. Make no mistake though. Listen to his <b>thousands</b> of online shiurim and make your mind up. That's what I did. <br /><br />He is urbane, self-effacing, an Ish HoEmes, and a Posek par excellence.

The ultra-othrodox have had their reputation besmirched by a television program and a rumor-inspired campaign against a well known chassidic rabbi. The campaigners against the rabbi have invited input from the YU establishment. I suspect that Rabbi Schachter innocently fell for their tricks, and offered to go and speak. But since the people who paid for the show had poisonous intent, the usual siyata dishmaya he enjoys was lacking.Fort Washnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-85112758958964607312013-03-22T08:30:25.089-04:002013-03-22T08:30:25.089-04:00Mr. yankel,

He's kissing up to the Agudaniks, and found a way to espouse their view of "raglayim l'dovor"!...Are not all prisons filled with the Others? Once we give pause to "where" the child rapist gets incarcerated, we lose every other meaningful position we espouse...Warren Buffett's adage is all too correct.." it can take a lifetime to build a reputation, but only a few words to destroy your life's work"...or something like that. I took umbrage with Schechter's remarks about the "WHERE" years ago.
