Why am I the rabbanim basher ?

I'm upset that many waited too long / too late.

I'm upset at people's misguided frumkeit

I'm equally upset at people out there partying or gathering etc but #1 that's not my environment #2 people aren't partying in the name of Judaism (save for weddings)

And I agree with @PlatinumGuy is minyan etc the new l'havdil Baal and Molech?

Our entire religious belief is based on staying alive to serve God.

That's in regards to the individual... Listen there are many people who do not understand what's going on still and it's easy to manipulate zealous people..

The sick people printing the fake posters should be arrested

Its a wrong response. Deblasio ordered all halls of prayer shut. I believe that was on Motzai Shabbos. If you want to talk about it from a legal perspective

Ah, but many people don't think too much into why they are religious in the first place. They do it because their Totty brought them to Shul ever since they were a child and their Cheder Rebbi taught them to Daven and learn. They do it because it's the only thing they know. We don't turn on the light on Shabbos because we have it ingrained in our head since we were children.

As we get older, we are supposed to learn the how's and the why's of Judaism, but by then most of us are not paying attention. So we are left with a rigid understanding of Judaism from childhood without context. When you tell people that they shouldn't go to minyan, it's like saying don't blink. They don't know why they go to minyan in the first place, all they know is that they go every day and that is what they are supposed to do. It's a huge shock to their systematic routine to not go to Shul. I saw a guy writing in a comment that he will go crazy if he can't go to Shul for Tefilas Tal.

Because you used foul language about R Chaim Kanievsky.

Ok ok, we heard that. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.

And I think he was referring to Rav Chaim's Shlita surrounding people who filter the information fed to him, not himself.

He asked a question and I gave him the answer. Apparently he didn't hear it enough yet.

I was referring to the circumstances.

I did say I am frustrated by his inner circle, nothing and no one gets to Rav Chaim without getting past his inner circle.

Maybe that's the meaning of God blinding tzadikim, they are mislead and not told the situation I dunno.

This is much better. Just make your point without the expletives.
