Ignore the חרם - Daf Yomi

 

Daf Hayomi ערובין ל ע"ב           מ"ס אהל זרוק לאו שמיה אהל   שו"ת יביע אומר יו"ד ה': כ"ו   R. Ovadyah Yosef zt”l. writes:   “When R. Moshe Montifoire Z”l  visited ירושלים, he paid a large sum of money to obtain a permit to enter the הר הבית. He and his Rabbi, entered in a box which was carried by 4 Goyim.   When the קנאי (zealot) R. Yosef Moshe from Lisa zt”l (son of the חות דעת) heard what happened he blew with his Shofar and put R. Moshe Montifoire in חרם.   R.M.M. was very upset and claimed he was innocent. He was told that with a box, one may enter the הר הבית.     The רבני ירושלים told him to ignore the חרם for two reasons. a)  We don’t put in חרם for being עובר an איסור בשוגג. b)  The חק יעקב תע"ו writes, "A person who deserves to  be put in חרם.but he supports Torah, we may forgo putting  him in חרם."
