Toi -“lo nitnah torah limalachey hashareis. if i can raise kids that will be satisfied rebelling in these aspects, but will willingly abstain from movies, music, internet, gambling, drugs, and everything else the average teen is oisek in i will be happy.”
Who said some of these are Ossur and even if they all are who said they are worse than drinking?
E/o heard of the C.C. and he wrote a Sefer called Machneh Yisroel for people in the army and in it he has 26 chapters. One of the chapters is Shikrous (drunkedness).
I won’t repeat the whole chapter, just a part. He starts out saying a Talmid Chachum and for sure an Am Haaretz should never get drunk, but I want to repeat a part towards the end.
“Any Jew & esp. one in the army, if they find him even one time …or they find him drunk…there is a Big Chillul Hashem because the Goyim will start talking about Jews and their G-d and on and on.
Then he talks about how terrible the Aveira of Chillul Hashem is.”
The only thing I want to add, is that even if these Bochurim don’t do it in front of Goyim, they do it Betzina (hidden), it still is a Chillul Hashem. Because Rishonim explain the Ikkar Aveira of Chillul Hashem is in front of other Jews. So one or more Bochur(im) doing it in front of their friends would constitute a Chillul Hashem.
