They do everything l'shem shamayim and get advice for everything regarding the school from gedolei Torah. <BR/><BR/>They were promised this land for their school years ago. If Rabbi P. is allowed to steal it for whatever reason it will be a true shanda and yet another stain on the chareidi leadership of RBS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-34231493415549251432008-03-02T18:47:00.000+02:002008-03-02T18:47:00.000+02:00if true, it's not like this would be the first tim...if true, it's not like this would be the first time someone played politics under the guise of advancing torah.

Vaknin declared no vote could be taken because the issue has passed out of municipal authority and is now under government (Misrad Hashikun if I am not mistaken) authority. The vote was symbolic because the Haredi reps insisted on holding it anyway. As of right now the vote was a blow to Vaknin, but it has no meaning as far as the maar is concerned. <BR/>The fight will continue, but this vote has more to do with the upcoming elections than with the fight over the maar.Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-64764671086442629432008-03-02T15:03:00.000+02:002008-03-02T15:03:00.000+02:00In any event, it looks like the big fight is over ...In any event, it looks like the big fight is over - see this past weeks chadash and also http://ladaat.net/article.php?do=viewarticle&articleid=2247Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-34456255787947036792008-03-02T15:01:00.000+02:002008-03-02T15:01:00.000+02:00Lashon hara is nto mutar just because some other s...Lashon hara is nto mutar just because some other source mentions it. Apel tlasa is a machlokes at best, and im sure that not everyone on your blog would have seen that. I know I didnt.<BR/><BR/>In any event, other rabbonim were not listed on that list either, namely a certain rabbi K. <BR/><BR/>Its not that hard to find out why. A little bit of investigating - like I did - would have led you to the real reason. RSZP - and RK - felt that the letter you are refering to was too mild and that they wanted to pen a stronger worded letter to the Iriyah. At the time that you posted this post, there in fact was another letter posted all over the shuls with the 2 rabbonims name on it, along with a list of the other rabbonim.<BR/><BR/>If the lashon hara you are spreading is false, dont you think you will need to aplogize to RSZP? Or do you think its ok since a different media outlet is transgressing, so its ok?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-36659163098420435222008-03-02T14:12:00.000+02:002008-03-02T14:12:00.000+02:00as I said, I heard this rumor a long time ago, but...as I said, I heard this rumor a long time ago, but chose not to write about it. Now that it was in the Haredi press, there is no reason for me not to write about it.<BR/><BR/>The question is not whether he is for it or against it. The fact that he agreed (if he did) to not participate in the fight against, does not mean he has to be pro. The rumor is that he agreed to lower his profile in the fight and not participate the way he was. <BR/><BR/>Why was his name not on the list of Rabbonim against? Maybe there is another reason, but this theory says it was because of an agreement in which he got a building.<BR/><BR/>That does not make him pro the maar.<BR/><BR/>And, again, the rumor might be wrong. But now it is in the national Haredi press.Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-759261847954081032008-03-02T13:59:00.000+02:002008-03-02T13:59:00.000+02:00Rafi - you should check your facts before writing ...Rafi - you should check your facts before writing Loshon Hara!<BR/><BR/>I know for a fact that Rav P. has spoken about the Ma'ar in shul and he has had meetings with local politicians about it - I think the picture even appeared in one of the local handouts.<BR/><BR/>You should be careful about what you read and even more careful about what you write.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
