On the contrary, Mammele. It shows how imperative religious aliya is. When the doors were wide open for a while shortly after the British took over Rav Kook called for massive religious aliya saying that there would be a state and that it was in the hands of observant (tartei mashma) Jews to make it a Torah state democratically. He also called for an umbrella organization of all religious Jews who supported yishuv EY.
Today we see that the Supreme Court is taking a greater role in public life. In the long term it could morph into a Sanhedrin if those appointing the judges are religious or at least traditional and if they have people to nominate. If the seniority process remains iy’H Noam Sohlberg will become President of the Court in another twelve years. We have an opportunity to give him the people who will enable him to bring about a halachic revolution on top of Aharon Barak’s constitutional revolution.
