I would suggest that anyone who doubts Dov lipman’s sincerity , honesty, or intelligence go onto his website and watch the 15 minute u tube video which he gave as his first address as an MK in the Kneseet ( its in Hebrew with English subtitles) You don’t have to agree with him or his approach but judge him fairly and give him a chance, please. SHP
The lippman saga is important because it points out the tug of war between various segments of our community> i think that Eliyahu Finks blog Fink or swim) offers a good depiction of the difference between Cherida Judaism in eretz Yisroel and fervent orthodox in America. My question is can we in the US have any influence on the positions in Eretz Yisroel. Frankly , I doubt it, Lippman’s noble and selfless attempt will most likely fail.
I support Dov Lippmann in his quest and desire to find the tzvil hazahav in Eretz yisroel. I have actually told him that and encouraged him to hang in. I am afraid that the results of this vikuach will be that Lippmann will disappear. I believe that within three months he will resign. I hope I am wrong but charedi politics are emotional and unbending. When i became Orthodox almost 50 years ago, I thought naively that it was spiritual and not political , but i don’t think that is the case especially in Israel. we play the zero sum game.. my gain is your loss. so in this case Lippmann loss will be Cheridas gain!
