Areivim, to clarify, I love the computer animation. I also love a lot of the disc, including the Lipa thing. Show me another Chinese Auction that stresses the gashmius as much as this one. when BMG had one it got quickly pulled. A “Wheel of Fortune” setup and a dancing dollar bill named “Fivish” bouncing among prizes is NOT a Torah message, no matter how you spin it. The difference between that and Netflix is one of degree, not of essence. Chasing gashmius is wrong (Lo sachmod), just like watching dvd’s (lo sasuru, abizrayhu degilui arayos, etc) is wrong. I’m fully aware of the good that Oorah does. They run a top-notch kiruv organization. But this is frankly the wrong message. Let’s say they sent out the CD with Lipa, and the cute videos, and did NOT have the bouncing dollar bill. It would totally change the tone of the cd without killing the entertainment value. It would still be cutting-edge and a great fundraiser without sending the wrong message.
Kars4kids- I can’t defend it so I won’t.
