Halakhic Rulings in Matters of Thought
Question
I read the column and learned a lot, as always, from the columns.
As you pointed out, every halakha has a conceptual basis; Nazism too had a conceptual basis, and as is well known, in the name of faith / the path / and so on, most of humanity’s crimes are carried out. So where is the boundary, if there is one? And thanks again. Danny
Answer
I didn’t understand a thing. What is the question? How did we get to the Nazis? And what does this have to do with the column?
And why wasn’t this posted as a talkback on the column?
