Reply To: Stealing the Afikomon

You are allowed to follow any possek you wish, and certainly the Tzitz Eliezer is a “bar samcha” one on whom you can rely, and he holds that laining is a mitzva on the tzibur/communal, contrary to Reb Moshe view that ,it is on the yochid/individual.

However, when you state blankly, “lainng the mitzva is not a mitzva on the individual but on the tzibur” as a if that is a fact, without dispute or controversy, that statement misleads the public reading your posting. You MUST acknowledge that there is a dispute, and according to ONE OPINION (the Tzitz Eliezer) lainingis is on the tzibur/communal.

To clarify, you can hold as you wish, but don’t decide for everyone that the Tzitz Eliezar is right and by implication – Reb Moshe is wrong.

Furthermore, when you post to assert that laining is on the tzibur/communal,, “According to SA O’CH 146,2 says according to a view, if ten people listen to laining, you can learn quietly. see MB 8”, implies that Reb Moshe “missed a halacha in S.A. or MB, which is disrespectful.

To clarify, once you are told that Reb Moshe holds different, by posting S.A. or MB (seemingly in support of “your” view), are you trying to shlog op Reb Moshe and prove him wrong?!

I find the comments disturbing and not in line with kovod haTorah.
