One suggestion: everyone should stop bashing rabbonim, effective immediately. And I mean all talk, even those who add disclaimers.
“I’m sure I’m not understanding him or Hashem is withholding wisdom because he wants the pandemic to spread, but I can’t talk to my Rav anymore because he turned into a brainless zombie who is trying to get us all killed.”
Any talk that denotes even a smattering of disrespect towards our rabbonim is deadly. It counters all the good of these forums.
Why ?
Why do rabbanim get a free pass ?
If people won't take health precautions because rabbanim didn't rule so, the rabbanim should be taken to task. Maybe not bashed, but to task.
The earlier premise was that rabbanim didn't get involved. We see clearly that's it's dray aroom!
Every day I see corona deaths whether on kikar shabbas or wherever and pleas to support almanos and yesomim.
But a cognitive dissonance and a refusal to act is causing untold deaths, are they taking achrayos for the lives lost? For the almanos and yesomim?
Anyways, I can't recall ever mentioning somebody. I have no idea the name of a single rabbi in lakewood.
I address the broader situation. No one can claim they didn't know.
