No need to read Failed Mashiach YW will give u the news. Once again a news report of wrong doing by a frum person, well this time its a Prominent Rosh Yeshiva from Moddin illit so all the more exciting. Since this news is about the yeshiva world its sure deserves to be posted along with the comments on YWN. No need to go to the hateful charedi bashing sites anymore if its frum and charedi we report it.
so why link to it?
ReplyDeletegood point.
DeleteI don't know. The problem is that the frum media and "establishment" relentlessly promotes an image of the frum world which is detached from reality. If you at least publish an occasional story like this, then some small amount of reality can seep in and present a more balanced and realistic picture. But if you censor out the real world, then you allow propogandists unfettered free reign.
ReplyDeleteDifficult to strike the right balance.
Certainly there's still a wide gulf between haters like Failed Messiah - who presents an equally distorted view of things, but just in the opposite direction - and a website like YWN.
Are you upset that u werent able to report on it?
ReplyDeleteYou are right. It's nobody's business what happened to somebody in Israel unless you are looking to bashmutz people. Nebach there are plenty of so called frum sites that are constantly on the look out for new ways to degrade people. Even the so called "Dass Torah" blog are filled with lashon haroh rechilus , embarrassing others etc. Why would anybody focus his time and effort speaking bad about our Gedolim and כלל ישראל is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteI think its important for people to realize that we live in a time when the yetzer hora is stronger than ever and even great people and roshei yeshivos and Rebbes can fall and do aveiros. Nobody is infallible. We are all human.
ReplyDeleteHas nothing to do with the yetzer hora being stronger more now then before. Bottom line .everyone human is fallible. The biggest malachim were punished . Moshe rabaynu was punished. Are we better then them?
