The posts I referred to assume that they, and only they, know exactly what HaShem wants and how. Nothing regarding these 'details' is in the quote you sent. The posts, in my opinion, both judge and reprove others.
32. Nr 31.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (11.17.11)
So would you suggest that they dont know what HASHEM wants, but only you do ? Nothing regarding these 'details' is in the quote you sent As according to your oppinion that is. The posts, in my opinion, both judge and reprove others. That is what I wrote !. Arn.
33. UNTILL THEIR DYING DAYS
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (11.18.11)
Will the so-called Liberals and their media hencemen, try every trick in the book to besmirch the people who remind them of their roots and the real reason of living here. And for this falsely written piece off sentimental drivel, Mr. Sagiv can invite the start of an Kollel in his neighbourhood to revive his synagoge. But the sole intention of this drivel is to incite and demonize the usual group off people being blamed for all that is wrong in a otherwise perfect country with its most moral elevated Liberal saints like our "writer".

Thanks for the clarification on judging and reproving others. I did not understand; now I do. As to the other items: My point is that NO ONE can say exactly what HaShem wants and how. Yes, we can agree that peace, kindness, is included, but everyone has there own way of getting there. No, I don't either, but I don't presume to tell others that I do. Please point out the
you see in your previous post that I do not.
35. #33: Article "demonizes" and "incites? You are hysterical
Dovid ,   Los Angeles   (11.18.11)
Did the writer call someone evil? A demon? What did he incite? A murder, a crime? Hatred of someone? Perhaps you can point out the inciting words, or even the hateful words? Or perhaps you cannot, because there are none. Extrremists like you cannot tolerate even the slightest criticism without going straight into a rant about the "liberal media" and accusing the critic of "demonization" and "incitement." You are the one introducing hateful words here, and sinat chinam, by accusing even such a mild and pained critic of evil.
36. SECURE BIG secular/traditional ISRAEL,pronounceable spelling

here's a big handkerchief from your 'friends' at ynet who gave you the space to ramble on and on about your feelings...
38. The best part about this article..
Sean ,   Montreal, Quebec   (11.19.11)
..is the nasty mudslinging followed by pious praises of Hashem's blessings in the Talkbacks.
39. Back to Beit Shami
Norman Gellman ,   Rehovot   (11.20.11)
Unfortunately the current orthodox establishment is propagating rulings that would have made the Talmudic scholars of Beit Shami very happy. That is they are moving toward stricter & stricter interpretation of Halacha rather than moving toward the Talmudic Beit Hillel, interpreting Halacha more liberally making it easier to accept. These new interpretations make current living almost intolerable and for the most part run against 21st century morals and norms. For example the Kol Isha dictates are first not accepted universally buy all orthodox rabbis and put their adherents in a painful position as those in the IDF as well as fathers of girls who would like to attend their daughter’s celebrations in the Kindergarten. This tendency pushes people away from religion and orthodoxy in particular. We are supposed to enjoy life not dread every action. There action will just drive more people away from our religion and help outsiders to ridicule us. These rabbis are causing damage to Judaism it is time they woke up in the 21st century.
40. #24 Homosexuality and sexual immorality is also passe
American Sabrah ,   Israel   (11.20.11)
Sexual decedent behaviors existed long before the Torah did. That's why the Torah established ground rules for people on how to regard human sexuality so people don't surrender to their impulses and completely lose their inhibitions.
