Funny how some people like nothing more than to stir up the pot. I’m not a moderator, but if I was, I would give shmendrick the subtitle, The Ladle.
As for his synopsis of the igros moshe as follows:
“On this issue, see Igros Moshe Y.D. vol 3, simon 85 that one should not vacation during this time EVEN if he has no intention to celebrate in their holidays, but vacations merely because the parents are off work and want to take a family trip, since the innocent intentions do not vitiate the issur.”
It should be pointed out that this teshuva addresses giving off children from school during this time of the year not taking vacations. Shemendrick, if you want to make a point make up a sefer, dont reference a sefer anyone can access and see for themselves how you misquote it.
