Rav Sternbuch: Hotels are Against the Torah


Before I begin this post, I want to repeat that I do have a lot of respect for Rav Sternbuch. The problem is that he is a kanai, an extremist. He is not an extremist in everthing, but enough of one that he decided to accept the offer to join the Badatz of the Edah Hacharedis.


So here's one example of this extremism. Rav Sternbuch, along with the other members of the Badatz Edah Hacharedis, state that it is forbidden to go to hotels for vacation. Apparently, going to a hotel is against the Torah. One note: the letter was written a few years ago and was posted again yesterday, probably because it is the summer and Rav Sternbuch wants to make sure that people don't go on vacation.
