I just feel bad for HaRav Shteinman and any other Gadol who has to put up with this BS.<br /><br />The simple facts are these:<br /><b><br />1. Shweky and A.Yitzchak are in direct "competition" for the Jewish digital content played to your ear-buds (...destroy the your competitor's disks) and live performances.<br /><br />2. People will always listen to music or seek a concert as an outlet, so rather Jews listen to Shweky than Celine Dion or Aviv Gefen.</b><br /><br />The nice thing is both of these figures have the power to bring a soul closer to G-d, each in their own way. After all, music is inspirational and it touches the soul.<br /><br />R' Amnon was the 1st successful "evangelical style" power preacher for Orthodox Judaism in Israel. (Similar but L'havdil 1k to those U.S. pastors on late night TV shows). Nevertheless, he does have the merit of bringing a lot of people back, so - even after seeing this perplexing video - I'll contain my criticism.<br /><br /><b>Do you agree?</b><br /><br />DDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-82372254404732551682010-08-31T21:33:30.553+03:002010-08-31T21:33:30.553+03:00maybe R Amnon is just a Lipa fan?maybe R Amnon is just a Lipa fan?lipa rocks!!!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-2119264890951642702010-08-31T21:19:14.884+03:002010-08-31T21:19:14.884+03:00Why should it bother you that R Shteinman is "...Why should it bother you that R Shteinman is "unaware of modern technology"? do you think he needs google maps to find his wat to the Beis Medrash?

Not that I really like most of Shweky's music or some of the others (as that is my personal opinion), but it is massive defamation and over on at least a half dozen D'oraisas (to start off with Motzei Shem Ra'). For somebody of stature to do what he is doing, it is an act of Evil. "Lamah Takeh Et Rei'Echah." Though as with any bans of any type, it will probably backfire, as people will now become more interested.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-47621843169046970452010-08-29T19:26:46.512+03:002010-08-29T19:26:46.512+03:00As regards to Amnon Yitzhak's own track record...As regards to Amnon Yitzhak's own track record as regards to listening to Beis Din and to Gedolim:<br />http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/article.php?p=22974Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-38834532568698357452010-08-29T10:52:17.296+03:002010-08-29T10:52:17.296+03:00Is this the same "Rabbi" Amnon who gets ...Is this the same "Rabbi" Amnon who gets non-frum women to get up on stage in front of "the whole world" and then cover their hair - talk about Tznius...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-11379648287317706232010-08-29T06:45:35.668+03:002010-08-29T06:45:35.668+03:00Who films these things?Who films these things?Shiranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-12272701347362531442010-08-28T22:24:35.464+03:002010-08-28T22:24:35.464+03:00It is strange, seems the more proper approach woul...It is strange, seems the more proper approach would be to bring in a recording and even stage footage to show Rav Shteinman - why would he be afraid to do that?<br /><br />I wonder whether Rav Shteinman was suspicious when he was told everyone plays this for the chosson and kallah - if so how bad could it be?<br /><br />Did I understand correctly that he's claiming Rav Shteinman already signed something against these performers - do you think Rav Shteinman knew what he was referring to?<br /><br />I was most struck by the Ashkenozis he put on to try and get a more sympathetic reaction from Rav Shteinman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-63536783869416415312010-08-27T01:24:45.713+03:002010-08-27T01:24:45.713+03:00I am so angry, it's burning me up.

Who in the hell is this Amnon Yitzchak that thinks he can talk to Rav Shteinman in this manner? He's haranguing him! He doesn't even have the right to talk to <b>ANY</b> man that age in such a tone of voice. Especially knowing full well that the old man has no idea what he is talking about. And it would be even worse if the elderly Rav has begun to decline mentally due to disease or age. This video is <b>disgusting</b>.

It's somewhat comforting to see that even when he's confused and unfamiliar with the issues being brought before him, his instinct is not to give any blank checks, and I would even hazard to guess that he realizes they're trying to spin him.<br /><br />It also seemed to me that Rav Shteinman doesn't really know what the Internet is, only that it's Bad. I guess because Everyone Told Him So. When AY tells him that the music is the source of all chinuch problems, his response is "isn't the Internet [the source of the problems]?".
