Q&A: Brainwashing
Brainwashing
Question
Does the Rabbi think one should oppose the radical liberal brainwashing being done to us? If so, how?
Answer
Such general questions indicate laziness, and I do not answer them. If you want to ask, please do so properly: formulate the question well, lay out the different sides, and bring an example or examples.
Discussion on Answer
Those are the examples. What is the question? I asked you to formulate the question and its different sides. If you think this is brainwashing, then act against it.

Putting a dot inside the word is preferable to using a slash, for several reasons:
A. The slash is on the left side, whereas the dot is on the right side. The more we activate the right side, the more right-wing we will become.
B. The “line,” even if it is slanted, creates an association with the rabbis of the “Kav” school from the study hall of Har Hamor. By contrast, the “dot” returns us to the moderate and open world of the Yesha Council.
C. A dot inside the word is less noticeable to the eye, and therefore less annoying than a “slash” in the middle of a word.

As for “Parent 1” and “Parent 2,” two weighty questions arise:
A. Who is “Parent 1” in the family? Shall we return to the chauvinistic view that the mother is “Parent 2”? Perhaps we should write: “Parent 1.2” and “Parent 2.1,” and thus make the two parents equal 🙂
B. Will we also have to replace, in singing “A Woman of Valor, who can find” on Friday night, with “Parent 2.1, who can find”?
In section A, line 1:
…is on the left side of the keyboard, whereas the dot…
I mean changes they are introducing into the language, like “Parent 1 and Parent 2” instead of father and mother, or writing “you” in a gender-inclusive form with punctuation inside the word instead of the masculine/feminine slash form (https://www.inn.co.il/news/461760). Or, for example, a lawsuit against a print shop that did not want to print pro-LGBT materials. In children’s programs and on television too, that is the message in many shows, and a lot of people today really live with a liberal consciousness without even noticing it at all. (For me, for instance, it took a long time to realize it.) There really is brainwashing of the public and a reshaping of consciousness.
