Chananya: So they have ulterior motives. So what? Since when doesn’t a person get credit for a mitzvah done shelo lishmah? If that were the case, we would all be in dire trouble.

god forbid would i give el-al credit for normally not fly on shabbos. The only reason they dont fly normally fly on shabbos is they know that we would boycot them.

FRUM FORUM: “Your revered chayalim”, who is the YOUR?
Do these same “YOUR” allow you to go and daven at kever rochel, and at the Kosel (with hashems help, of course). Isnt it OUR, as a collective Jewish nation…

eyes wide open,

you wrote, “Keep that in mind when you declare a big fancy holy war. What a kanoi.”

Just want to clarify- are you referring to the Gedolim involved?

The El Al rep wrote in her email (quoted above): “Amongst those stranded were families with young children, elderly and sick passengers without medicine, and passengers without the finances to extend their stay.”

To which I say: “Guess what, there were many Charedi people with the same situations, and they didn’t fly on Shabbos. You shouldn’t have given the chilonim the option to fly. You should have just cancelled the flights altogether for that day. When your reveared chayalim are on the front lines in Lebanon and Gaza (being moiser nefesh for all of us), the last thing they think or care about is their ‘comfortable’ accomodations. We – as a collective Jewish nation – fight a battle for Shabbos as well, and our own personal ‘luxuries’ can take a back seat.”

YYY

“The gedolim are the Moshe….”

Aha…so the concept of yeridas hadoros is lost on you?

Do you know how many “frum” owned businesses operate on Shabbos? El Al is a publicly traded company and they have a right to do what they want. If you don’t want to patronize them, fine. But chances are you and many others shop in stores and do business with companies owned by frum yidden and operated on shabbos with the same heterim that affords thousands to hold onto their chametz throughout Pesach. Keep that in mind when you declare a big fancy holy war. What a kanoi.

I would rather not mention his name except to say, he is considered one of today’s world’s Posek.
