Ah, Joseph. You know, with access to every single post I ever made here, you might have been able to see my perspectives instead of assuming them. But, given that its apparently a valid discussion tactic by you to denigrate someone’s observance and be yotze laaz on their opinions regarding ikkarei emunah, I shouldn’t be at all surprised by your clearly intimate and well researched knowledge of my opinions regarding Shchita, wearing a head covering, or mila.
Aside from your puerile attempt at being motzi shem ra, you hit the double double with a straw man argument too. congratulations. Women aren’t being and shouldn’t be forced to drive. If they choose not to, no problem. But their families should never be extorted into obedience by the exclusion or expulsion of their children from school because they are driving their kids in exactly the same way that was muttar a month ago but is apparently assur now. Dina Demalchusa Dina comes in there as well.
DY, I’m saying that I disagree with R’ Vosner’s perspective, but well beyond that disagreement I am disgusted by the actions taken by those who are leveraging it in a way that doesn’t seem to abide by local law, that “criminalizes” something that was halachically valid a month earlier without explaining the halachic reason for the change OR explains the halachic reason why it was OK a month earlier but is not now. I am deeply dismayed by actions taken by Belz that commits psychological and emotional violence on its own community members (call it blackmail, extortion, it doesn’t matter) by threatening to ostracize their innocent offspring if the diktat is not observed.
If you, however, wish to see a different approach in my words, that goes beyond simply disagreeing with R Vosner’s perspective, so be it. I just made 3 attempts to convince you otherwise. I’m not making a fourth.
