Time for some proper due diligence/ independent auditing in our communities

[YossieW]

@yuneeq . Wow! That's a new low, even for this forum. Some people just care about being heard , not right. You're  not an investor , you are just a hater and don't deserve any explanations.

who brought the Weinstein comparison into this discussion?

 

What is your obsession with Berkower? BB has an auditor - end of story! Why don't you take your millions and invest it with Eli Weinstein or Ari Bromberg and sell covid masks to Ukraine, while I continue to invest with BB.

@Yunieq. There is  absolutely NOTHING funny about your comments. You and all the other " Knowitalls" on here, looking for free entertainment, at someone else expense, should be a little more mindful what you write or say , especially with Elul around the corner.

I call on the Mods to be transparent with full results of their investigation.

if I was trying to stick up for my friend/relative I would not start my defense by saying you can invest with a criminal instead

So far same here. Just first interviewee on the halachic perspective.

The irony is almost too much for me. He is very worried about the fact that anyone can post their feelings and influence people, even without any Haskamah/Hechsher. Um, who gave him a Hechsher? None of the interviewees really called him out on that.
To be clear, I am very much opposed to the idea that everything (magazines, books, barbers, mp3 players, etc) needs a Hechsher. Just DL, of all people, being so concerned about this is a bit much.

[Fish Tank]

Um, who gave him a Hechsher?

I rarely listen to him. What does he do or say or promote that requires a hechsher?
From what I understand, he brings awareness to various issues.

Very well researched and written indeed but when you listen to his podcast the reviewer's observations are pretty obvious. There is very little objectivity in most of the topics, rather an idea or agenda he wants to further, usually modern ones which he tries to introduce to his listeners. When you listen to a discussion that you are familiar with you can quickly notice how he's omitting some very known basics which can undermine the position he tries so eloquently to push. All in all it's a fun and thought provocative program but should never be taken as Daas Torah to say the least.

New thread please. There's much to say on the topic of influencers....

And add a wiki explaining what an influencer is for those struggling how they gain influence..

Truthfully he isn’t kasherable…

He twists and distorts Halacha and Jewish thought to fit his personal feel-good common sense.

I love the Lipa and Rechnitz comparison

Rabbi Goldberg does.
