Sam2:
That’s me, and that’s why I’m here – to show everyone how wrong and distorted I am.
Let’s start bottom up. My bracha that HaShem continue to shower upon us His divine protection. As I wrote, yes, truly a bracha. Do you care to know the odds against us, in all detail? Further compounded by the erection of the state and all their following blithering blunders, decisions and orders? And still HaShem protects us!! What comes to mind is the open confession of a terrorist about a year ago (Kiryas Sefer), who recognized and said he was thwarted solely by our God. And the countless other nissim, ????? ??????? on a daily basis. Eretz Yisroel is the land of HaShem and His involvement is so much more pronounced there. So yes, in spite of what does ?”? take place, let us realize the Hashgocho and Nissim, to save, avert, protect us from the odds… And may HaShem continue to protect us, shower us with His blessings…
Regarding the Apikores, read Rashi:
??? ???? ?? – ??? ???? ?????? ????? ?????? ?????
if he doesn’t mean what he says, pray tell what he does.
Of course some times you have an overriding factor, but Torah in itself is protection, ???? ?????. Browse through Gemarah, Seforim (holy ones) at your leisure, you’ll find it in more than one place.
Regarding my first point, the contribution of the bnei Torah vs. those in active combat, how do I know how much.
And the answer is, OF COURSE SILLY ME DOESN’T. But HaShem does. And as proven time and again, that’s a country run entirely byad HaShem (despite His “helpers'” claim), so seichel tells us to put our effort where it’s effective most!! Simple military strategy.
Actually I’m not telling you to listen to silly little froggie – just heed the Daas Torah of true Gedolei Torah and Manheigei Yisroel, not so called “leaders”, political figures (or wannabees).
When we follow dass Torah we know we’re doing the right thing in HaShem’s eyes. And that’s what counts most in HaShem’s land.
