9. True Modesty - I don't know why he thinks modesty and learning gemara are mutually exclusive and that until she is perfectly modest (by whose standards?) she shouldnt learn gemara... they are two separate things
10. dont use your cheap El Al tickets - I dont think I agree. if El Al says they will honor them I dont see why people should not use them. I dont see an ethical problem, and I dont think it is not the right thing. Businesses make mistakes, and sometimes they decide that from a PR perspective, from a legal perspective, from a marketing perspective or for whatever reason it is sometimes better to allow the customer to benefit from the mistake. they decided that and there is therefore nothing wrong with the customer from doing so..
11. "blurry glasses" reveal hatred of ultra-orthodox jews - I disagree. they are doing something stupid, so people mock them. unless he is wearing those glasses, he is doign a disservice to himself and to the general ultra-orthodox community by lumping them all together with the kooks in the same category.

Regarding your El Al comments, you mean that you can hold on to ta'us Yisroel where Dina d'Malchusa prevents the Yisroel from getting it back from you?
ReplyDelete(My question applies whether or not one considers public corporations to be Yisroel. Consider it in a case where it either a one-man LLC or a private individual, neither of whom have the legal right to get back the results of their ta'us.)
it is no longer taus yisrael if they recognize the mistake and tell people they are upholding the sale at that price.
ReplyDeleteThey're upholding the sale because DOT regulations allow them no choice.
Deletethanks for including me

ReplyDelete"dont use your cheap El Al tickets"
ReplyDeleteYet another example of unnecessary, holier than thou, chumrot!
If El Al management says that it will honor the tickets then what is the problem?
some are saying it is not ethical. using the tickets, they say, is taking advantage of someone else's mistake. and even though they are saying they will honor it, they are doing so mostly because they dont really have a choice, not because they want to.
