Description
R' Klein's lady editor. R' Moshe: Son must obey father & not go to yeshiva he preferred. London student forbidden to attend BMT came back to observance and Torah. Student whom R' Elchanan told not to attend YC is identified. Should one institute תקנות discriminating against non-observant Jews? What results in the future from such a takanah may be bad. Chatam Sofer, R' Hirsch & Austritt 1876, Würzburger Rav, Netziv, & Rav Soloveitchik dealt with this issue. Chazon Ish on 26a ע"ז. Gentile shepherds & thieves, should not be saved from death. They destroy society. Also execute מינים ומומרים. Rambam, Mamrim 3:2: agrees but only for the original apikorus, not descendants who should be brought back. Golda Meir in Moscow. Chazon Ish: Yoreh Deah, שחיטה ,2:16 states only if השגחה גלויה exists may an apikorus be eliminated. A Life Apart. The greatest rabbis in 1880s, 1940s, & today, made wrong decisions. Use love and inspiration for Torah. Examples of children of non-observant who years later became observant. Sotah 46b & מלכים ב 2:18. Elisha curses 42 children who mocked him & are then killed by bears. Justification is he saw that they & all their descendants were completely non-religious.
