WIY, I’m not lecturing a Goyish newspaper. I’m referring to the tolerance within our people, that I was somewhat surprized to encounter.

First Avoda Zara was tolerated by pointing to and twisting some Shitos Rishonim. Next came Gilui Arayos, and we hear, it’s a free country and how can you vote against it. After that, Shefichas Damim becomes light in our eyes as well. We start hearing lessons and Tziduk Hadin of someone else. We get Lashon Hara and Motze Shem Ra of a murdered person.

If someone gets arrested and you want to point to that, is one thing. I can’t stop thinking about the agony of his family and his anguish of his last moments. Somehow, frighteningly, it’s just another something to watch while munching popcorn, or better yet, to bounce your next article off.

I pray for the day of Vahasirosi Lev Ha’even Mikirbeich.
