I am not sure what the significance is but I enjoyed seeing their faces drop and not know what to do when they hear Rav Shteinman's answer to the question... Rav Shteinman is asked about emunas chachomim and he says there is no such thing nowadays and emunas chachomim is for the chachomim of the gemara and of the rishonim, not of today's chachomim...
Heresy!
ReplyDeleteHe known for saying plain truth and not what people want to hear. I don't know what they were thinking asking him for his opinion live like that.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh - a real indivisible opinion. Hope the blogs don't go nuts & media doesn't block out the video.
ReplyDeleteWow! Posted on this today. Thanks, Rafi.
ReplyDeleteWait, where are the spin doctors?
ReplyDeleteYou didn't understand his depth.....what he really meant was............... :)
I can't hear/understand what he says. Can you give the exact quote?
ReplyDeleteTx
that being the case, why does he and other rabbis claim "daas torah" before elections?
ReplyDeletedoes he? maybe it is only the MKs and askanim who throw that term around? I don't know.
DeleteI agree with Anonymous - it was pretty unclear. Maybe someone will add subtitles?
ReplyDeleteEmunas Chachomum and Daas Torah are, and always have been recognized, as two separate and distinct things.
