I categorize this is a Purim psak, rather than a regular psak, as it is not actually a psak form a rav. If it can be called a psak at all. They take a supposed statement from a rav, and extrapolate from it to their own benefit. But it is interesting, so here goes:
There is a daily two-sided paper printed and distributed around areas of Bet Shemesh in various shuls. The paper has announcements, advertisements, and some other nareshkeit.
They printed a psak regarding Matanos La'Evyonim. The psak reads "According to the decision of Rav Elyashiv and Rav Kanievsky and Rav Shteinman, one can donate his Matanos La'evyonim to someone who teaches torah publicly, like the flyers with divrei torah and weekly drashos that get distributed. Therefore, with Purim upon us, you can donate your Matanos La'Evyonim to this flyer as your Matanos La'Evyonim...."
Sorry, I just thought that brash psak was funny.
was it a joke, or were they being serious?
