Why are they lighting menorah on shabbos , in the summer ?
Who was michalel shabbos by reporting it? You’re supposed to let it burn and burn. It’s only possessions, right? Am I wrong on this?
#2- no way- it can potentially be so dangerous. sounds like a chossid shoteh.
maybe a janitor
there could have been people sleeping there. Also they have tons of goyim that can call
To #2- This IS safeik pikuach nefesh- There could always be someone sleeping anywhere in the building at that time- so one is obligated to call.
You do realize it could’ve burnt the entire floor, then the building, and then the beis medrash, right? It is definitely 100% Sakanas Nefashos.
you are wrong. all poskim permit calling the fire dept. bezman hazeh.
You don’t let the place burn if its hefsed meruba
Yes, you are wrong. A fire in a dorm is a clear threat to life and should be reported. In any event, BMG is equipped with fire alarms which automatically notify the fire department as well as a 24/7 non-Jewish maintenance staff.
The Yeshiva has a fire alarm system that upon detection of fire it alerts the fire department.
yes shmuel, you are right. and then when it spreads and someone gets trapped in a room and dies you’re just supposed to let it burn
Why is it nessecary to print: the Martin Klein dorm?
If “the cause of the fire is being investigated” why is the title of the article “Mattress blaze…”?
u ppl all are foolsih ask all these questions thinking u actually know things when its just amharaatzus. btw not one of you asked if anyone got hurt! its all about the hock.
Jacob: because BMG has more than one dormitory building.
