'Amerikan kabbalist' flays & filets R.Ovadiya Yosef over Lag b'Omer push-off
wonga66:
'Amerikan Kabbalist' is also a Halachist, as well as a Kabbalist. And if you listen to his clip, he actually brings out the Halachic kav from out of the Pnimiyus Hatorah (Kabbalah).

http://www.zshare.net/audio/900919372f242e86/
is no admirer of Ovadiya Yosef, calling him "Ovadiya Kessef","degenerate", "mumbles like a moron", "completely insane", "senile" and "rambling"!

Irrelevant ad hominem attack. Chaim had reasons for saying those things at the time - Rabbi Yosef behaved as a traitor when he supported Oslo. But that doesn't make him into an incompetent vegetable and no longer a halachic authority, G-d forbid.

Don't forget that Yosef "Halachically" permits "Land for Peace", and instructed Shas to support Oslo in 1993.

How could I ever forget that? Problem for you is, it has nothing to do with Lag bOmer and the issue of Shabbat desecration.
--- Quote ---Without Ovadiya Yosef, Oslo would never have passed.

True. And yet that does NOT discredit every single thing he says... except in the mind of a buffoon.

Halacha is determined from the Talmud, not kabbalah. Desecration of Shabbat is forbidden by Torah and Talmudic law codifies it. We have no right to disobey that, no matter what kabbala or other philosophy one claims to possess.
