“This is a pretty odd post. Are you accusing him of something? Are you implying that he owes us information? Are you implying that he was paskening for others without permission? If you have a question for him, ask. But rallying the room for…what?”

Mod: I was saying that imho, Avi K was telling CTLAWYER that his business could have halachic issues.

Please see:

“CTL, in the case of Jews the wills may not be valid halachically. In such a case there might be a problem a gezel. there might also be an issue of ribbit regarding estate planning. Having non-Jewish juniors do it is not a solution, especially if they are your employees as there might be a rabbinic prohibition of amira l’akum (this does not only apply to Shabbat).” (Avi K)

And I was saying…

Is it just me or was this out of nowhere and based on assumptions.

I guess it wasn’t just me, and CTLAWYER stepped in. He didn’t owe us anything.

I don’t understand how it was an odd post. I didn’t feel right about directly countering Avi K’s post. Maybe I missed something. That’s why I asked. It would give Avi K a chance to re-evaluate his words. I didn’t want to disrespect him.

Instead, I hoped that he would reread where he was coming from.

Or, maybe someone would say, “Hey LB, Avi K got that info from CTLAWYER’s other posts.” —I’ve only been here a few months. So maybe other posters, including Avi K, had more information that would justify those claims/speculations against CTLAWYER’s practice.

Thanks for asking
