Question
I bring merit to the public in the French community. Often, young people want to meet with me to discuss words of Torah and also to receive advice on business or life matters. I study all day at the Gertler Kollel (first and second sessions). Can I schedule a meeting with them at seven in the evening in the Beit Midrash, even if I know they want to discuss secular matters as well? I see several advantages in this: 1. They see the hundreds of scholars studying. I can tell them to come a few minutes earlier. 2. They see a magnificent place. 3. They see that I study in such a place all day. This can really strengthen them. And it is also the easiest for me. Is this permissible? Should I do it? Please, I need an answer from Rabbi Amram Fried himself.
Answer
Shalom Rav
I have forwarded the question to our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi Amram Fried, shlita
and he replied: It is permissible and advisable.
