Is Freedom of Thought Allowed In Judaism? | WAR OF AMALEK (19)

Many people enjoy the "freedom of speech" amendment of modern day society. While this serves multiple purposes in laws of the land, it becomes problematic when a person thinks they can utilize this in Judaism.

Rav Elchonon Wasserman's War of Amalek addresses this freedom of speech as it applies and affects the Charidy Orthodox Jewish community around the world, and lets us know just how much freedom we have, if at all. Learn, Share, Enjoy and Be Holy.
