Reply To: What's the Point of Having People Like the President Now?

huju: So at this point maybe you can guess the answer.

Why would I say that? Well it’s actually a quote from a rabbi’s shiur on Torah Anytime.

Please. Let me explain. It was a trail to get there. I think that the rabbi was talking about histadlus.

For example. If someone needs parnassa, is it okay to work part-time if he is currently full-time learning? Well it depends on the person and the person’s bitachon.

It also depends on the person’s gifts. If Hashem gives you a gift, then you need to use it in this world. So if someone has the gift of teaching, is he using that gift? Or can he apply it in a different way?

But sometimes we are not in control. I think it was the same shiur. I don’t know what happened then. I was making a right turn onto the next road. He said that anyone can be a president. Criminals anyone can become a president today. Some giggling in the background. And he said that we vote but once the person is elected then that’s it. Then it’s out of our hands.

That person is now “Hashem’s robot.”

As for a Jew. If a Jew is the King then he may have more responsibility over his actions. However here this person is now Hashem’s robot and we don’t know why things happen but it is all Hashem’s design.

Actually I think that this is something from a rabbi’s shiur that the CR will agree with here.
