Frummer Than Hashem

Many of the Yeshivos Hakedoshos have already informed the bochrim that this zman will begin with shiurim taking place via the telephone etc. but that they should not come to the Yeshiva itself because it will not be opening. That is the consensus [Baruch Hashem for sanity]. 

However, as always, there are the crazies who somehow ignore the over 183 thousand deaths [including hundreds of our very own] and the thousands of religious Jews who are in mourning, the Yesomim and Almanos, and want to somehow start the new zman at all costs [adding of course that we should keep the health guidelines - which are to not allow people to gather together in the same room, which is what Yeshiva is....].

From one newspaper: 

"המצב בו היכלי התורה יהיו נעולים על מנעול ובריח, כשהם שוממים מלומדיהם, מבטא שואה נוראה רח"ל. כך ידעו בעם ישראל בכל הדורות ובכל התקופות, ובפרט עתה כשאנו זקוקים במיוחד ליותר ויותר זכויות, ולמניעת קטרוג ח"ו בתקופה קשה זו, כאשר רבים מאחב"י מתייסרים בכאבם וחלקם מוטלים על ערש דווי רח"ל".

That TOTALLY trivializes the Holocaust. Telling boys to stay home and learn three sdarim a day while hearing shiurim and learning with chavrusos via the phone [or zoom] while eating 3 meals a day and sleeping in a comfortable bed in a country protected from their blood thirsty enemies by a strong army [BEZRAS HASHEM HODU LASHEM] is NOT a Holocaust. 

Wacky. 😧😲  

DON'T BE MORE FRUM THAN HASHEM!! IF HIS TORAH SAYS TO STAY HOME [AS IT CLEARLY DOES] - THEN STAY HOME!!
