<<Taking a lead from an Areivim conversation. Two people were discussing
R' Dr Hirschaut, a man recently lauded by the NY Post for his role in
getting cancer research off the ground and keeping it there. Notably, in
his photo for the paper he is sitting in front of a bookcase containing
a Miqra'os Gedolos, Kehati mishnayos, sefarim on medical ethics, etc...
All I know is that in that scenario, I would now be dead. Noa would never
have been born (not to mention the generations who be"H will come from
her), and the rest of my children would have been young yesomim these
past 4 years.>>
Similar to a debate about Yosef. By becoming viceroy he saved many people
from starvation. Would Yaakov had prefered that he be a rosh hayeshiva?
