Re:
Rav Moshe Shternbuch
comment on the yiddish audio about politicians
http://matzav.com/rav-shternbuch-earthquake-is-reminder-of-severity-of-sins-of-immorality#more-119705
Furthermore as means of explanation re: politicians,
Rabbi Yisroel Belsky
z”l told me 3 years ago for this to be publicized in his name
[ nor should we be attempting]”changing the personal behavior of individal politicians and/or the filth they engage in.
We are here to see that there is no legal definition of a change in the status of marriage” [ and societal descent into morass]…
Any who supported the change
“Cannot be representative or communal recognition of our/the jewish community”….
Rav Moshe Shternbuch has in the past expressed similar sentiments
April 30, 2015
Rav Shternbuch took out a Medrash on Tehillim and read the words of the Medrash on the posuk of “ותגעש ותרעש הארץ.” The Medrash there says that for sins of immorality – such as non-traditional marriage – Hashem becomes “angry.” and “the earth will shake and the mountains will smoke.”
“According to the Medrash,” said the Raavad, “we are to view this earthquake as a warning from Heaven to do everything we can to prevent the desecration of Hashem’s name via the proliferation of this transgression [of immorality]. Indeed, Hashem, in His great mercy, did not bring the punishment upon us, but in order not to forget the notion that there exists the terrible punishment of an earthquake for this transgression, Hashem sent us a warning in a country far away to remind us that this penalty exists.
