Quote of the Day

there were a few good quotes for today, but this one takes the cake. I am amused by how snide and snippy it is, and how demeaning and upsetting it is to so many people..
A city rav needs to first and foremost be an expert in halacha, not a security officer of some city or someone who learned in some hesder yeshiva..
  -- Chief Rabbi Rav Yitzchak Yosef
Rav Yosef later apologized, after many people got very upset about this remark as if the yeshivot hesder can't and don't produce talmidei chachomim... though in his apology eh did not explain what he meant to say - he just said that he respects and values the yeshivot hesder and is in torani communication with many students of these yeshivas through his shiurei torah and halachic discussions and apologizes if his words were not understood properly.
That means, it is your fault for misunderstanding him, but he won't bother explaining what he really meant.
