Great_Idea:
its unbelievable to anyone who knows even minimal details of the case how rabbanim supported ppl and encouraged them to show up on the MIL’s front lawn to rally. an earlier post (first page, this thread) names a rav who’s apparently chashuv told many to go.
cases like this, as well as all the stuff going on in E”Y scare me– i feel like benai yisrael are like flock without a shephard, so to speak. where are our leaders?!!?
the natural answer that pops into my mind is that we’ve disregarded them so many times, they’ve been so disrespected, and unfortunately recently they’ve been taken advantage of and misled by their middlemen… that we really have no one now to guide us. there’s only so many times even the most loving parent will warn a child before stepping back and letting him learn his lesson.
(just my thought…feel free to disagree, but can this pls not turn into a gadol-bashing thread?)
