Blumenkantz flips his wig
Question
Rabbi Blumenkrants got on radio last night and stated that the indian hair was assur. He quoted a sit on the internet to prove his point. I happen to have seen that site and know that he removed one line and inserted a different word instead. Thus, he changed something muttar to something assur. Although he did not identify the site by address, I recognized the wording. The site is: http://www.tirumala-tirupati.com which appears to be the main web site for this temple. Personally, I would very much agree that what "rachel" says in the name of Rabbi Wosner that it is a "mauss", but to say it is assur and cause millions of dollars of damage is Asid letain din vecheshbon.

Answered by Aaron AbadiAlthough I know where you're coming from, we need to watch what we call Ma'Uss. Let's concentrate on the laws and work from there. Rabbi B. was just trying to weigh in and get some of the publicity. AA
