"Ariel noted that those who find themselves facing this dilemma should consult their rabbis." Why? Because economics is not taught? The lemming should consult the lemming in front of him.

What a crock of crap! How dare a rabbi presume to tell people how much or how little to take out of their bank accounts.... Unless of course, he's signed as a guarantee on their overdraft. Yet another Rabbi who has set himself up for public ridicule. I think they enjoy being laughed at.

If they stopped studying Torah, and learned maths instead - they'd learn to budget properly.

What about you studying Tora?You would know about what you are talking.This with all the respect due to your name.

Not to overdraw your account. Except, perhaps, to pay the small 'advisory' fee required. What a great idea.

Gee..I was always using my shirt. Good thing I switched to toilet paper, I was running out of shirts. Whats next? The rabbi telling me what size condom I should be using. Dumb dumb dumb dumb...Does no one over there have a brain to do their own thinking?

If you have a health problem do you ask advise to a doctor, or follow your ouwn ideas?

what to do, what to do?

Science without conscience=atombomb

Again we must turn to the very leaders who black list, cherim and hand out unjustly benefits to the people who best serve the promotion of our own oppression under protectia and shadow institutionalized governments that run Hebrews lives as if they are refugee prisoners. Promote the market by stopping religious control of the job market that causes unqualified workers to get jobs unrighteously, allows creativity atmosphere (not fear) all of which causes company after company to fail and Israel to get a bad reputation. Restore Torah. Disban blacklist-clearance websites and phone centers. Pay workers on time not six months later. ...and let my people go.

what a bunch brainless sheep have they forgoten how to think for themselves? do they need his permission to go to the bathroom?

What exactly is wrong with advising people not to overdraw. if more people spent within their means we wouldn't have less debt. How many people do you get who own credit cards which they do not use responsibly and just because the bank say they can BORROW thousands on their card they go spend thousands even though they can't afford it. We should be praising anybody who encourages people to balance their budget not borrow unless you really need to. Stop condemning every little thing they say or do just for the sake of it. The more we encourage a them and us society we are heading towards a civil war. Anybody here feel like a civil war We need to be trying to improve relations between haredi & secular not encourage its division.

Cant wait !

Absolutely incredible that people now need to consult their Rabbi in order to not overdraw their bank accounts. Keep them dumb so that they won't question religion. It's crazy.
