<p>R' Dr. Rakefet would encourage young people to watch "clean" movies, as he states. There is no serious poskek alive who would say that. There is no such thing as a clean movie. Movies are not only filled with sex and violence but also convey terrible values to our youth - even so-called "religious" movies.&nbsp;</p> <p>This is dangerous.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;R' Rakefet also asks for a source where it says that it is forbidden to hear a group of women singing. The source is Sotah 48.</p> <p style="margin: 0.5em 0px; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.9px;">אמר רב יוסף: זמרי גברי ועני נשי &ndash; פריצותא; זמרי נשי ועני גברי - כאש בנעורת&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0.5em 0px; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.9px;">למאי נפקא מינה?</p> <p style="margin: 0.5em 0px; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.9px;">לבטולי הא מקמי הא</p> <p style="margin: 0.5em 0px; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.9px;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0.5em 0px; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.9px;">This is cited by countless poskim li-halacha. The heter to hear a group of women siging is hotly contested and was given by the Seredei Eish for kiruv purposes only.&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0.5em 0px; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18.9px;">R' Rakefet would better serve if he would encourage enhanced kedusha and not the opposite.&nbsp;</p>

<p>R' Rakefet said that his Rebbe liked westerns. How many did he watch ? One? Two? [Zero??] Hard to believe that such a busy gadol bi-yisrael had time for movies.&nbsp;</p>
