This was sent around but I didn’t see anyone discuss it. Was anyone else already bothered that last year’s Shmorg had a video of a “Rabbi” misquoting Rashi to Devarim 7:22 and based on it telling children [over and over and over again, for 20 minutes] that wild animals can’t hurt them if they don’t worship idols? Rashi actually says if the Jewish people (entering Israel) would do NO sins whatsoever then wild animals won’t hurt them. Did Oorah ever retract? They have the same “Rabbi” on their Shmorg this year.
Ya, I saw it. It was horrible but Oorah is not responsible for what some guy says on the shmorg
he made a vdieo based on how he rememberd what rashi says. they just sent out his video’ i dont think any children died testing out what he did. oorah can’t be sued just because they sent out a video telling kids you can walk into wild animal cages and not get hurt.
One should not be making videos based on how they remember something without looking it up. If they do, and make a mistake, it’s imperative that they send out a correction. As far as the video itself, aside from the Rashi in question, it’s pretty stupid and quite misleading. I would not want my children watching it. Young minds are impressionable and no need to teach them nonsense. Bottom line, I do not expect oorah to necessarily have caught this the first time around, but after it’s called to their attention, they should not have gone with the same guy again. (Unless, of course, this year’s video features a retraction 🙂
shmorg has nuthin ta do wtih ooorah, so they made up a chazal and told your kids wild animals can’t hurt them? so what? it is there to make money, nmot to teach people
oorah deals with kids that aren’t religious at all, they are making money to help those children become religious. it is a tzedaka
would i be upset if a school sent it to my kids? yes. was it a stupid thing to produce and send? yes. was it a massive chilul hashem? yes. should they have apologized and warned parents and retracted? yes. so what though?! it’s there to make money for oorah
Why do you let your kids go into wild animal cages?
i take back everythinw i wrote before. i am sorry. it turns out you are right. you are not even allowed to have such a dvd in your home. you have to destroy it and remove it from your home. everyone can ask there own rabbi. i will hopefully hear more tomorrow and let you know what else.
and yes, the feivish is a chilul hashem and you should take it off even if it will ruin the paint job, find a different bumper sticker.
Is not being allowed in the cage the only thing that’s stopping your kids from entering the cage?
Is it okay to put your kids in a cage – if there are no (other) wild animals there?
Its gonna be the Kinderlach, the little bitty Kinderlach to Bring Moshiach now
this comment section is great entertainment as usual. People losing their minds over a stuffed mascot and an obscure comment in a kids video.
