Reply To: Shmad in Israel?

Avira- that’s an example of the sheker that is used to defend the policy of not serving in our defense. I can’t speak for early secular Zionists, but nowadays the State of Israel is not an enemy of Torah nor does the government or army want anyone to not keep Torah. The burden is the burden of both the secular and Torah community in EY as Hamas and our other enemies want to destroy all of us, and the burden of standing in between blood thirsty terrorists and our people should not be a burden that’s borne only by the secular and Dati Leumi communities.
