Listen to his chochmah!

Morim that have a Chet (=sin) spells Cha-Morim.

The man is brilliant and his words are worthy of study.

Those who speak against Talmidei Chachomim, they and their family members are doomed to suffer yisurim. Have rochmonus on yourselves and your family by restraining from writting against any Gadol!! Those that were already nichshal, should immediately ask mechillah. You have been warned!!

Remember the Satmar Rebbeh z”l R’ Yoel the Brisker Rav R’Velvel etc also spoke out and lashed at the state of “Izrael” so whts wrong if Rabbi Ovadia Yosef’ Shlita continues in the right path?

QUITE a DIFFERENCE.
These are two very different and distinct shita’s regarding “Izrael”, almost like Day & Night.

Livni thinks she may poke at religious Jews as she pleases, So Rabbi Ovadia Yosef’ comes along makes a powerful statement, says one word, gives some of her teachers a complement, why is everyone so upset, you see that he knew exactly what to say to get the whole world started, where was everybody when she oped her sewer and the worms came jumping out.

She cant just get away with her nonsense when ever she feels like it. Orthodoxy is not her expertise, no one is asking her to sell Jerusalem to Charadim but same time dont give it away for free to the Arabs.

If she is Jewish which with her attitude I am not so sure about, she should have some respect for those who respect the Holy Torah, if she foolishly enough chose not to practice the laws of the Torah that’s her problem, but to poke and make fun of the handful of Yiden who are listening to Hashem is 10000% wrong.

So being that I am “not” a follower of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef’ I would still like to command him for a job well none we all know that Rabbi Ovadia Yosef’ is correct and we have to back him up, after all he is one of the greatest Talmid Chomom in our day and age.

Any words which cause Machlokes in Klal Yisroel are unacceptable, this pertains to both sides of a conflict – we keep talking about Achdus, but sometimes in order to prove a point or just to be right, we disregard the extent of damage of our statements…Lets practice Achdus so that Moshiach can finally come.

I don’t know if the secular teachers are chamorim, or if they, along with the systems, secular, dati-leumi, and chareidi, are simply broken from top to bottom. Teachers, parents, administrators, students, and government.

20 years ago the Israeli school system was the envy of North American parents. I remember that when an Israeli kid would end up in our school, he would be miles ahead in everything – mishna to math, it made no difference. Now, everyone is far behind in so many areas. Rav Ovadia Yosef was right in pointing out the failing secular system. But we ignore the problems in our own systems at our own peril.

#6 Wake Up, they speak Hebrew. I personally feel that the Rav should know that every word he says is being monitored by those self hating jews. I’m surethat the Rav can use even more harsh words to make his point, but the Term Chamor will ignite a fire.

Gedolim need to be extra careful with what they say in public – especially since the media are looking to pounce on their every word!

may H. watch & help them.
