I’m curious what sanhedrin paskined that an iPhone is assur to have. Many rabbanim in chutz laAretz have them, so it can’t be assur to have.
I do understand the concept of lo sasuru min hadavar asher yagidu licha, but maybe either his own daas Torah or his Rav’s permits having an iPhone. I still don’t see why he was disqualified from being an Eid Kiddushin.
And to whomever said it was political and not halachic, how is it appropriate to make political statements at someone’s wedding, when that someone probably chose the eidim beforehand and now you go ahead and decide to jettison that pick?
