To the group
I would suggest a compromise position between that of Always and the moderator. If we look at current events, clearly Hashem is pulling the strings. Hamas perpetrated an act of unimaginable savagery and the world responded by attacking Israel and the Jewish people. This can only mean that Hashem is speaking to us and telling us to get our houses in order. Therefore, as Always is saying, Hashem is interested in hearing from the common Jew, but, as the Moderator asserts ultimately we must follow Daas Torah. But it’s not so simple because there is no consensus on who or what is Daas Torah. Moreover, most Jews aren’t observant so obviously, Daas Torah is irrelevant to them. It seems then that our best option is to direct our prayers to Shamayim
