Reply To: A Shabbos Desecrator Saying Vayechulu With the Congregation

Wolf, I will save you the time of responding to this, by saying for you:

“I wish that was the case. Unfortunately, I actually am a rasha, and am completely serious.”

Why is it so difficult to believe that, at the very least, I truly believe this?

This is his form of satire (even though he will reply to this to deny it).

I thank you, Sam, for trying to make me look good, but the reality of the situation is that I possess very good writing skills and a wicked (in the positive sense, pun intended) sense of humor. I am *very* capable of making my intentions clear when I intend to be humorous or satirical.

are you trying to change?

You cannot simply “wish yourself happy.” If I’m sad, then I’m said — and if that’s an issue of chillul Shabbos as per the SA and MB, then I am a mechallel Shabbos B’farhesya. Sad, but true.

Look at the Chazon Ish on that Mishnah Berurah and you will see that no one agrees that there is an issue of eidus here only edah. Therefore, you can say it:)

I will have to look that up. Thank you, David.

The Wolf
