Reply To: Rav Amsalem

Helpful, that is a totally inappropriate remark about Rav Amsalem. Does Stephen King know shas and poskim and cite rayos from them.

So right, where is the source for calling at the very least a kosher yid who is shomer Torah and Mitzvos a nobody? Did you ever hear of the concept of a tzaddik nistar? It is not our place to judge. We only deal with rayos, period.

What is interesting is that another site has the following quote from Rav Yosef (unfortunately without a reference) which shows that he holds the same way:

??? ????, ???? ??? ???? ?????? (?????? ???? ?? ??? ???, ????? ????? ????) ????? ???? (???????), ???? ????? (????? ?? ?????) ??? ???? ????

???? ???? ????? ??? ?????? ??? ?????? ????? ???? ??? ????, ????? ???? ??? ????? ????? ?? ??? ?????, ???? ????? ????? ????, ??? ??????? ??? ???? ???? ??????? ?????? ????? ????? ?’ ?????, ????? ???? ??? ???? ?’ ???????? ???????, ?????? ????? ?????? ?????, ??? ???? ??? ???? ????? ????? ???? ?????? ??????, ????? ??? ??? ??????, ????? ?? ????? ?????? ??????, ?????? ?? ????? ?????? ???? ????????,…???? ??? ??? ?????? ???? ??? ?? ?????? ?????? ????? ???? ?? ??? ??? ????, ???? ?? ??? ??? ???? ???????, ??????? ?? ????? ?????, ???? ?? ????? ????? ??? ??? ???? ????

So the entire episode is unfortunately rooted in politics, and not in anything to do with halacha. It is a total disgrace.

More later.
