Hashkafa Q&A

Hashkafa With Reb Gershon Ribner shlita 

Commendable policy of BMG leadership in raising funds for the Yeshiva Preparing a chosson who lacks common sense for marriage Selectivity in accepting financial support for avreichim How a shrewd father in law extracts the couple's true motives Protecting children from being the hockey puck in a contentious toxic divorce Forfeiting your deepest aspirations by preserving a compassionate marriage Gedolim extending themselves for non-Jews as humanitarians

  1. BMG is the cream of klal yisroel, thankfully the Zionists cant close it down and we live in the Yerushalayim of America outside the grasp of Zionists and other hostile forces

    1. Paranoia is a real thing. Do you dream of zionist monsters eating us up at night?

  2. What a surprise!
    Rabbi Ribner commends a BMG policy.
    Has he ever found himself at odds with their policies? Isn't it strange that, totally coincidentally, he is always in agreement with them? אין פרצופיהן שוות ואין דעותיהן שוות, does he never think differently to them?

    This seems like the שיטה הקדושה of the ישועות משה.

    1. He's closely related to the management of BMG.
      Of course he won't criticize.

    2. He gives the shmuesen in yeshiva you don't criticize the hand that feeds you
      We're not YU were they encourage dissent and debate against leadership

    4. YU are merely continuing the Mesorah.

      Until recently, leadership wasn't scared of questions and debate, and those questioning weren't necessarily interested in undermining the authority of the leaders.
      Now, we have Eitz who use 'questions' as an excuse to fight Gedolei Yisroel, and meek lemelach who have been browbeaten into believing that their opinion doesn't count.

      No more healthy questions, and lots of bullying.

    5. anon 12:56, so you are against peleg for questioning authority but call bmg guys meek lemelach for not questioning authority? ok.

      Delete
    6. 5:09 - you have missed the point. Eitz/Peleg don't question authority, they use the questions to undermine authority. Their questions do not assume Gedolei Yisroel have anything behind what they say, and they are based on the idea that knowing all of the facts is wholly unnecessary to forming an opinion.
      The difference could not be starker.

    1. If you are on this site you are no Rav Akiva. You need all the musser and haskafa in Agada that you can get.
