It's a given that it's only if you've accepted that rav as your posek - whether it's the this rav, R' Ovadia Yoseph or R' Elyashiv, or anyone. <br /><br />I don't think it's so lunatic to say that Iron Dome lowers the threat level - not to nothing, but enough that one should not interrupt his Shomeh Esrai. I'm not sure I'd have to guts to follow this, but calling this rav a threat to society is a bit harsh, I think. <br /><br />I do want to say though, that I think Iron Dome actually increases the threat overall. For 100K a pop, it gives this do-nothing government a false sense of security and reduces the feeling of urgency to deal with the real problem, which is not the rockets themselves, but those that launch them.Wanna Saabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564440024185263043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-63537112537361981752012-03-18T21:46:45.111+02:002012-03-18T21:46:45.111+02:00PS I say that based on the article's title onl...PS I say that based on the article's title only, w/o reading it.Neshamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326762185596512130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-89180005871276181162012-03-18T21:46:00.624+02:002012-03-18T21:46:00.624+02:00If one looks at the way the Dome's counter mis...If one looks at the way the Dome's counter missile travels to get to its target, the trail does resemble how a snake slithers.Neshamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326762185596512130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-6050285544300174322012-03-18T21:24:46.494+02:002012-03-18T21:24:46.494+02:00Correction Rafi- This only applies if you have tak...Correction Rafi- This only applies if you have taken upon yourself Rav Yosef Sheinin as your posek.
