yichusdik -“Health, my great grandfather and g grandmother, two of my great aunts/uncles – those who survived, their kids, all came to Israel at the same time as the Teimanim. They had nothing left after the war, and came to Israel with a bit more than the teimanim, but not much. My G grandparents maintained their level of frumkeit, but 1/2 of their children in Israel much less so. Some of THEIR grandchildren are frum, and have even become more frum, but others have not. Bottom line, They came, lived, worked and did their best in a very trying time. No one forced them to work on shabbes, no one forced them to eat treif.”
Where they put into the Jewish agency’s absorption camps?
“”Forced” is the word you used, and in the context of a state that means policy or law.”
No, you can force s/o to do something without a formal decree.
How about they said something like this -“Either you work everyday including Shabbos and if you don’t work any day -that day -you don’t eat”?
“And Health, I don’t need excuses. You want to be the Tzedoki insistent on ignoring “vechai bohem”, go right ahead. You know what they ended up as, despite having pure intentions. I’ll stick with the way of the perushim.”
Explain this rambling here -you don’t make any sense.
