Audios: On Rabbis Participating in Iftar / Ramadan Celebrations by Menachem Gottlieb

chief-rabbi-lau-at-iftar-celebration
With the background of rising tension in the last days between Jews and Arabs, the state of Israel’s Chief Rabbi (Lau) and President (Rivlin) visited an Iftar (Ramadan conclusion Feast) at the home of Salim Jabbar, Head of the Abu Ghosh Council

For further research see: Is Rambam For or Against Jews Participating in the Iftar Feast at the Home of Salim Jabbar, Head of the Abu Ghosh Council

Quote from an early printing of Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh Deah 148:9 found at https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=45234&st=&pgnum=81 which further proves the point. Early printings suffer less tampering due to pressures of the Christian Church.

gaonpicB”H Excerpts from An Anthology of the Gaon by Rabbi Moshe Zuriel {Tzuriel}

A Selection of sayings of the Vilna Gaon regarding beliefs, extracted from most of the writings of his disciples, of those faithful to him, and from some of his own writings.

Swiftness

The fact that a person puts off performing a mitzvah until the morrow leads to his not performing it at all, rather, as soon as he has the opportunity he should immediately perform it – to Proverbs 10/8, 14/23, 27/1

If not now, then when?” (Avot I) – the Sages did not say ”if not today”, for even on the same day, one should already now, perform the mitzvah.- to Proverbs 6:9

This Anthology of the sayings of the Vilna Gaon is Not Appropriate For Non-Jewish
Souls. Instead they should scroll up this page to the section A Light Unto the Nations which is more appropriate for a mixed audience.
