- Q. I read something in a recent Yeshiva News head article and I’m worried about of the truth of it. It quoted Nancy Pelosi statement that: ”Women are known to be more ethical than men.” Those that reflect in any way our “Da’as Torah?”
I also wonder if one should say a Bracha on seeing her (the bracha on extreme elderly person) since she is over 84 years?
A. Horav Aharon Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that even if this type of articles are quoted in and by Torah institutions they should not necessarily be repeated, unless there is a valid and real Torah lesson to be learned from them.
One does not recite the blessing on the elderly unless one actually sees them. (not on line). Besides she is not the person one should recite any brochos on.
