torahis1, is that what they taught you in your temple? Perhaps you can ask your Rabbi if she can learn it with you again.
Nowhere have I discussed psak. I teitched a Ran. And the Ran is clear that it holds Yidden are neither chiyuv in taxes nor in Dina Dmalchusa Dina in Eretz Yisroel.
Incidentally, the way I teitched it is how Rabbi Herschel Schachter teitched it. You can say omg again.
