Why Do I Even Bother:
I thought they asked a “Gadol” (as posted earlier) not “same rabbonim”. My mistake 🙂
Otherwise, what made these “same rabbonim” change their minds? Have they guaranteed the salaries, perhaps by placing liens on their own homes? How did the halacha or metzius change from when the question was originally asked? I realize you may not know the answer.
How are they getting cash to pay their mortgage & suppliers? Or is it not just the teachers that are not being paid. Perhaps they should send a thank you note to Capitol One, who holds the mortgage (and assignment of rents) for not collecting, in Lieu of Payment? 🙂
I feel you have raised more questions than you have answered. Too many “I don’t know”s. That is fair, as (I assume) you are not Rabbi Shapiro?
Thank you either way.
