To summarize every discussion regarding strict halacha vs. the “sprirt of the law” a.k.a SENSITIVITY:
We are in golus, the goiyim severely effected our clarity and desensitized us.
It is so so sad reading this thread and all the others relating to it… I just sit here shaking my head… some people just don’t get it- the Torah is not just a book of rules!!!!
Oiy- and we think we can hasten the geulah with our extra zchusim???
