| Mar 27, 2014 at 13:06 | comment | added | Bruce James | @DoubleAA Here is a good article about the dispute over the Netziv's position on reading newspapers on Shabbos, even within his own family, and attempts to censor the opinion that newspapers are permitted reading. seforim.blogspot.com/2014/03/… | |

| Oct 16, 2012 at 17:10 | comment | added | Menachem | The last part of the statement you translated as "have shot tons of soldiers" is actually a quote from Mishlei 7:26 - "רבים חללים הפילו " mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt2807.htm#26 -- Literally translated as chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/16378/showrashi/true "For many are the dead that she [i.e. the heart] has felled" , or "For she hath cast down many wounded;" Basically saying (I think) that the heart has led astray many vulnerable people, and as such, one should not follow after it. Or in this case, don't read the newspaper because it has lead many astray. | |

| Oct 16, 2012 at 4:33 | comment | added | Ariel | Newspaper in the past were more like the magazines of today. Modern newspapers are mostly free of that stuff, and try to just have the simple news, so people are more OK with reading them. People often don't read popular magazines for exactly this reason. | |
| Oct 16, 2012 at 4:28 | comment | added | b a | @DoubleAA It's true that most likely there was no emergency (though I didn't know where the original source was to check). However, he doesn't discuss why it's permissible | |

| Oct 16, 2012 at 4:01 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | I wasn't aware there was debate about what the Netziv's position was. What emergency could there possibly have been anyway? Here you can read what the Netziv's nephew (primary source!) wrote about the Netziv's reading newspapers: hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=48316&st=&pgnum=122 | |
