To NOPE
I’m really not interested in discussing the question of TV but I’ll just say that it came up about 2 years ago in YWN that I have a TV( I don’t have one now.) Anyway posters wanted to yar and feather me so I asked Rabbi Fishelis if it’s such a serious offense and he told me it’s absolutely permitted. So we can put this subject to rest.

Last week I asked Nope a simple question, “Do you agree with what Rabbi Feldman said about Manis Friedman?” I got back a doctoral thesis but not a yes or no answer. Instead he said that Rabbi Friedman had no right to challenge Manis until he called him to clarify what he meant. Nope opens up a can of worms. He’s now saying that when someone makes a controversial statement we can’t accept or reject it unless we first speak to the author. Sounds nice except for one problem. How do we get clarification from dead Rabbis? So this leads to “maybeism.” Maybe Rav Shach didn’t mean that the Rebbe is crazy. You get the point. Your move Nope.
