They responded [in my dream]: "You are not wise to ask such a question," (Kohelet 7:10) "for the ways of the Lord are upright, the righteous will walk their paths, and the wicked shall stumble" (Hosea 14:10), "Have I not written it three times?" (Proverbs 22:20) "Incline after the many" (Exodus 23:2) - and the majority today forbid such things. In the Heavenly Yeshiva, there is no dispute on this subject, and we all rule that this is forbidden.
