tahini: the next time you speak to your son, please tell him thank you from me for helping to protect the Jewish nation. I constantly daven for his safety and that of fellow soldiers. Thank you!
optimusprime: The picture of R’ Kook came down not because of Zionism, but over the ruling that girls could serve in the IDF. The Chazon Ish was firmly against it. R’ Kook was no longer alive, so he didn’t have a position on it. Why did he remove R’ Kook’s picture? I don’t know, maybe he only had room for one of them. But it certainly was not a slight against R’ Kook, rather it was to show his support of the Chazon Ish.
