mbachur: I find it hard to believe that Gemara without a source. Because now the Tanna ripped off the shirt of a woman (forget the obvious issues of negeah) because it was untznius. Did that rectify the situation or made it worse? I think we all can agree an undressed woman is more untznus than a partial dressed one. It is also amazing how Rashi NEVER looked at ANY women in his life. When he once saw a woman, by accident, he knew it must be for a reason, and hence Rashi was able to explain the cohen gadol’s apron. That was Rashi, so I must assume a Tanna was on a higher level than him.
This seems like a classic case of Mitzvah Bo Bavaryah.Even for those who feel what the Bochurim did was correct, in either case, the Bochurim were “Over An aAveaytrah” if G’Nayvu and have a chiyuv to pay the advertisers back. If not, than the whole act becomes an averyrah. If you want to show you are a chossid, then act like one,not an animal.
Can anyone please remind me of any case a Gadol approved destroying someone’s property? If yes, did the gadol endorse not paying for the damages?
The most appropriate response would be to boycott the company, but not create a chillil hashem because now they think Jews are a bunch of animals and uncivilized. Are they wrong in this case?
