This is another case of those that cant wait.<br /> They base themselves on the shells which are known to be for argaman.<br /> They (rabbi T) also made up a big lie from the greek ploynus? That the argaman and techelet are from the same fish!!!Yosh55https://www.blogger.com/profile/13627334897718297633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-4299927479501586012018-02-18T16:09:42.305+02:002018-02-18T16:09:42.305+02:00interesting.

Living in Manhattan, he doesn't even pasken for Brooklyn. So kla v'chomer he doesn't want to go up against the Rabbinate.<br /><br />He gave a whole shiur on the topic at an OU convention in Israel well over ten years ago. (It was on Shabbat and so not recorded.) His main points were that it's certainly muttar to go up, it's a mitzvah to do so, and political circumstances are that we have to go up to strenghthen the Jewish hold on it. And at the very end, he made the same point about not going against the Rabbinate. After the shiur, some people pointed out that the Rabbinate is not exactly a Dati Leumi institution any more, but I don't recall that he changed his view.<br /><br />I'd already signed up for a visit to the Har HaBayit. So after Shabbat I asked R' Rakeffet. He said that he can't decide, but if R' Nachum Rabinovich says it's muttar, then it certainly is. So I went, and have been back many times.Nachumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292162031685942549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-2159760286514108252018-02-17T21:18:30.512+02:002018-02-17T21:18:30.512+02:00Does Rav Schachter also advise his Talmidim to Eat...Does Rav Schachter also advise his Talmidim to Eat Kashrut of the Rabbanut, or does he advise various Badatzim?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-2688795088122373822018-02-15T22:24:30.432+02:002018-02-15T22:24:30.432+02:00Seems, those in control don't like my comment....Seems, those in control don't like my comment. So, here it goes again: Rav Schachter is absolutely right on everything written here. Just because many are secular or on different levels religious-wise, it doesn't matter; there needs to be an institutional rabbinate in the Land of Israel; it's not the galut, even though they brought in the galut to EY, r'l. The more we go spiralling downwards, the more trouble will come from Above. Don't we ever learn?

Everything he said is right! Doesn't matter if most are secular or whatever; it is the Jewish nation in the holy E. Y., and there needs to be at least a Rabbanut of some sorts to keep it Jewish, even if it's, at this time, not to everyone's liking. The nation needs to wake up before it's too late - it is H's Country and the more we descend into the pits, the worse the punishments. The Torah warns us but we never learn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
