Aviner, or to take a position on the controversies that surround him. Nor, in my opinion, was that the point in the episode. Whatever you or others may think of him, it is an undeniable fact that a great many people in the <I>dati leumi</I> community hold R. Aviner in high regard and follow his halakhik rulings. And the comment by Reut in this episode was simply a reflection of that fact.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, it is conceivable that Yifat was alluding to the controversy of which you speak when she retorted to Reut, "and since when do you pay attention to R.

Some may find this hard to believe, but for me, nitpicking a show is a sign of great respect for it.<BR/><BR/>In general, I don't examine details of a TV show this closely. The typical show is made so carelessly, and is so full of fallacies and contradictions, that there would be no point. But there are a few higher-quality shows where it is clear that the writers and directors have expended serious effort on accuracy and consistency -- and <I>Srugim</I> is clearly such a show. If the show wasn't already doing such an impressive job in the first place -- and if I didn't hold it in such high regard -- I wouldn't bother to nitpick those few points where they messed up.Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05516196101946513020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-4241344897680893892008-08-27T01:19:00.000+03:002008-08-27T01:19:00.000+03:00Eliezer StrongBad: Why do you assume that only on...Eliezer StrongBad: <I>Why do you assume that only one shabbos passed since yifat's kiddush?</I><BR/><BR/>There were actually several things that indicated this.
