  1. Of course, he was a mentally disturbed person. But those that are irresponsibly disseminating erroneous information about the vaccine should have been taking into account the possibility of this. If they radicalize people, using dangerous rhetoric and specious studies, they should know that disturbed people, especially in Eretz Yisroel, are likely to end up like this.

  2. Reb Aaron Hersh is a Tzadik, and we need to hear more from him. He has original thoughts about Chinuch, but is looking to keep the system in place. His criticisms are truly constructive, and he has no agenda other than Yiddishe kinder.
