gaw:
first & foremost, thanks for the welcome 🙂
I wasn’t talking about the Shoah or Pritzus (at least not in this thread 🙂 still waiting to hear from 000646 in the Random Qs thread), I was addressing Yitzy’s arguments for Torah with work.
I don’t have nevuah, but I do have a response to your first Q, but it has to do with ABCs of yiddishkeit and a lengthy explanation, based on chazal, and since it nighttime in Israel I have to go get a decent night’s sleep – but I do hope to address it at a later point. I will suffice to say at this point, that you can be assured that the torah has a response for everything, and the “hamon am”‘s opinions cannot be the gauge for what is right and wrong.
As far as the second Q, I am not sure what you are talking about and would like to verify the facts for myself, and what he meant, and who it was addressed to, as well as which gadol it was – is that R’ Shtaynman? – do you have a link to an article or a source for reading up on it?
I am also curious what hora’as sha’ah you heard in regards to the Shoah?
In case you don’t see me in a while it will mean I have won over my yetzer hara and will be having a productive day tomorrow 🙂 otherwise, if he wins the battle (but not the war!) I will respond tomorrow AM here 🙁 but then I hope to be able to say goodbye soon.. :p
