How were men allowed to watch an execution? According to the cited responsum, somberness is not the basis for permissibility. HT ه ه |

How were men allowed to watch an execution? The Bach writes that since executing the woman in this manner is a biblical requirement, we are not concerned about such thoughts. This may mean that, since the attendees are participating in a mitzvah (e.g.וְיַד כָּל הָעָם בָּאַחֲרֹנָה or וְכָל הָעָם יִשְׁמְעוּ וְיִרָאוּ (Devarim, 17)), and that mitzvah requires the woman to be undressed, we do not expect people to have inappropriate thoughts. Alternatively, you may be correct that he means that the risk of inappropriate thoughts is outweighed. Either way, people are not permitted to actively indulge in such thoughts. |

Is catch and release fishing permitted? ישנם אנשים שלשם ספורט ושעשוע יוצאים לצוד חיות בר וציפורים, ונשאלת השאלה, האם על פי ההלכה דבר זה מותר או אסור. השיב הרב יחזקאל לנדא, שהיה רבה של פראג לפני כמאתים וחמישים שנה, בתשובותיו 'נודע-ביהודה' (ח"ב יו"ד י'), שאמנם מותר להרוג בעלי חיים לצורך האדם, כגון כאשר צריכים את בשרם או עורותיהם אבל אם הציד נעשה לשם שעשוע, הרי שהוא דבר פסול, שאינו מתאים כלל לזרע ישראל, שכן מידתם של ישראל היא הרחמנות, שנאמר (דברים יג, יח): "וְנָתַן לְךָ רַחֲמִים וְרִחַמְךָ וְהִרְבֶּךָ" (יבמות עט, א). ואלו שנזכרו כציידים במקרא, נמרוד ועשו, היו רשעים. וזאת מפני שיש בציד אכזריות, ולכן אנשים רשעים נהנים ממנו. |

Is catch and release fishing permitted? However, the statement that hunting is permitted simply for pleasure is not in accordance with the halacha. If an animal is hunted for sport, this is an act of cruelty which is certainly not sanctioned by halacha, see the following quote - ph.yhb.org.il/category/…: |

Is catch and release fishing permitted? Yup. Not really sure why you posted the above tangential citation to begin with; I decided to post mine to show that there is indeed a machlokes and that not everyone holds that you can kill an animal in an inhumane manner. |

Is catch and release fishing permitted? וכתב עבודת הגרשוני ז"ל… דבמיתה לא שייך צער בעלי חיים, וכן מצאתי בשו"ת נו"ב… ולפענ"ד נעלם מהם דברי החינוך… דטעם מצוה זו לשחוט מן הצואר… ועוד משום צער בעלי חיים, וכן בסכין פגום אסור משום צער בעלי חיים, ומוכיח מזה דצער בעלי חיים מן התורה. שו"ת שואל ומשיב, מהדורא ב', חלק ג', תשובה ס"ה |

Is catch and release fishing permitted? Setting aside the specific question of "catch and release" of fish, it's unwarranted to infer that Rav Moshe permitted killing animals in general for sport or pleasure. The concept of לצורך האדם refers to a tangible benefit, which is why you need an additional source (from פריקה) to teach you about לכבוד האדם. Pleasure is not a tangible human benefit, and לכבוד האדם, within the context of the teshuvah, refers to the removal of a nuisance. |
