@Avi K. We need both army and learning. So when half the chilonim go learn, I’ll let half the chareidim go fight. Also if I
ll respect your Rav, you need to respect mine. My Rabbi doesn’t agree with the idea of any joe shmoe deciding to make a holiday, or anyone less than the sanhedrin. He is of the opinion we should be happy with our freedom to act as Jews and live in Eretz Yisroel every day. In addition Hashem commands us to be besimicha, we cannot just pick a day to decide to mourn. In any case, I’ll respect your decision to go along with those days, but you need to respect US too.
@MrsSarahLevin613 I should hope that even if they disagreed with you they can like you and have a good relationship with you. When will chilonim start acknowledging the good that learning does?
