“The remarkable resemblances among [ancient] Roman law,
present-day American law, and Jewish jurisprudence
in Biblical days, is more than mere coincidence.

The Jews devised, four centuries before [the founder of a religion],
a legal system based on the dignity of man
and individual equality before the law, while Europe
still had trial-by-ordeal as late as the 15th century
[the 1400s of the Common Era]. “

…….

“The accused [according to Jewish Law] was
presumed to be innocent until proven guilty.

He had a right to counsel and to a proper trial.

He had a right to call witnesses, to confront his accusers,
and to testify on his own behalf. He could not be compelled
to testify against himself, and could not be placed in double jeopardy.

The accused individual was permitted to appeal,
or to have others appeal on his behalf,
if new evidence should turn up.”

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:

“It is true that the American legal system derives much
of its content from the Old Testament [Tanach]…

When we were growing up, my friends and I would take
great pride in discovering the Jewish sources of American laws,
such as: the privilege against self-incrimination,
the requirement of two witnesses for certain types of crime,
and the very idea that punishment
must be proportionate to the crime committed.”

“…Zecharia, like so many of his contemporaries,
worked for a time in a sweatshop.

The shop he worked in, making pocketbooks,
was located in a building just east of Washington Square
[in Manhattan], site of the ill-fated Triangle Shirtwaist Company.

On the Saturday of the great fire in [March 25,] 1911 [CE] that
engulfed the building and killed 145 workers,
Reb Zecharia was at home. It was the Jewish Sabbath.

He learned two lessons from this:
he vowed that his children would never become factory workers
and he vowed that they would never work on the Sabbath.”

Yankel Berel said this to HaKatan
on 2025 August 13 at 9:43 am in a discussion titled:
“Rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsch and the IDF (Israeli Army)”:

__________________________________________

“It’s a shame that you consider the literal interpretation
of the holy Satmar Rebbe’s writings as anything
more than a minority view and anachronistic [outdated].”

__________________________________________
MY RESPONSE:

I have been trying to say that for say that for a long time,
but I think that Yankel Berel said it better that I did.

So I use his words, instead of my own words.

Arizal stated that the Gimel Shevuot [Three Oaths] did not apply after 1,000 years of exile.

Meaning we could have come up by force to conquer Israel after that.

But we did not even do that.

וכבר אמרו רז”ל כי זמן השבועה היא עד אלף שנים

Yankel Berel just tried to use facts and logic.

HaKatan responded with name-calling, which is immature,
and the tactics used by Socialists, and Motzi Shem Ra,
and bullying and intimidation tactics.

HaKatan likes to accuse people [falsely] of being
heretics and idol-worshippers.

HaKatan and UJM have repeatedly proven themselves
to be guilty of Motzi Shem Ra, and both of them are
worthy of being known as Rodaif and Mosair,
who do not care if millions of Jews are murdered by Arabs,
so long as they accomplish their goal of “peacefully”
dismantling the State of Israel.

HaKatan said:

“… the Zionists are invaders …”
__________________________________________
MY RESPONSE:

HaKatan’s obvious misuse of the word “invaders” is Motzi Shem Ra.

It is also kefirah, because he indirectly denies the words
of Tanach which teach that Eretz Yisrael is the land of Jews.

In 1920 CE, the League of Nations designated Eretz Yisrael as Jewish land.
In 1948 CE, the United Nations designated Eretz Yisrael as Jewish land.

HaKatan chooses to ignore these facts, because they
contradict his precious preferred narrative of hate.

HaKatan:

Don’t you ever get tired of repeating the same lies and falsehoods endlessly,
no matter how many times they are proven to be false?

I know that I am certainly tired of your relentless falsehood and hate.
And I know with certainly that other people feel that way.

HaKatan said:

“Nobody asked the Zionists to invade…”

DaMoshe said said something very similar to this on
2025 August 7 at 1:20 PM in the YWN Coffee Room in a discussion titled:
“Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky and the modern State of Israel”:

__________________________________________

Some major Rabbis held that the Three Oaths are NOT in force anymore,
including: Rabbi Chaim Vital, Rabbi Meir Simcha of Dvinsk, and Rabbi Shlomo Kluger.

Even if they were in force, in 1948 CE, there were many Rabbis who held that
they were not violated, because the League of Nations and the United Nations
Organization both voted to establish a Jewish state, in 1920 CE and 1948 CE,
so the State of Israel was NOT established by force.

Also, the oath not to go to Eretz Yisrael in large numbers requires
more than half the Jews in the world —- this is the opinion of
the Shittah Mekubetzes, the Maharal, and Rabbi Yonasan Eybshitz.

The Torah Temimah held that it only refers to when people are
forced to move to Eretz Yisrael, not when they do so voluntarily.

So do not falsely claim that all Rabbis held that they are in effect,
or that Israel violated them.

yankel berel said:

“Steipler clearly permitted maintaining the State,
once it was established; that is a fact,
clearly stated in karyaneh de’igrata vol 1.”

__________________________________________
Dear Yankel Berel,

When you get a chance, could you please repeat the complete quote
from Karyaneh De’Igrata volume 1, in which the Steipler ZTL ZYA states
that maintaining the State is clearly permitted, once it is established?

I thank you in advance.

HaKatan keeps repeating the claim that the Tzfat riot
of 1929 CE was because of the Zionists,
and before the Zionists, the Jews in Israel lived safely.

This is historically false.

How do you explain the Tzfat Riots in 1834 CE or 1838 CE?

How do you explain the anti-Jewish riots by Muslims,
before the year 1,000 CE?

Not everything can be blamed on the Zionists.

More evidence that the Agudath Israel organization is pro-Israel:

Yeshivah World News said this:

In response to Hamas’ October 7 [2023] atrocities and Israel’s war
against terrorism, Agudath Israel of America is organizing an ongoing
“Virtual Washington Mission” to impress upon the nation’s elected officials
the importance of their continued support for Israel and to solicit their aid
in helping to address the security challenges currently facing American Jews.

Agudath Israel’s Washington Office has worked closely with the organization’s
nationwide regional offices to coordinate the virtual meetings with
over 30 senators and congresspersons. And more are being arranged.
Some members expressed their desire to have in-person meetings,
which were convened in their home districts.

The agenda of these meetings has included the need for Congress
to back up Israel’s rooting out of Hamas, to condemn and isolate
the terrorist group, the safeguarding the hostages, and to quickly
pass legislation to provide Israel the military aid it urgently needs.

In addition, the activists are expressing concern regarding the
dramatic uptick in antisemitic incidents in the U.S., particularly
those experienced by Jewish students on America’s college campuses,
and urged the members to support a substantial increase in federal
security grants that support shuls, schools and other community institutions.

The mission’s participants include hundreds of rabbinic and
lay leaders across the country, all meeting with their respective
members of Congress. Participants report that the reaction
of the senators and congresspersons has been overwhelmingly
positive, and receptive to the Jewish community leaders’
perspective and message. The members of Congress stressed
how important it is that they hear from their constituents at this time,
and how every individual who reaches out to a congressmember makes an impact.

The meetings have led to tangible results including members
of Congress co-sponsoring legislation, reaching out to University deans,
and in one case, authoring a letter to Secretary Blinken asking him
to arrange a screening of the Israeli video featuring the brutality
of Hamas’ October 7th attacks for members of Congress and the media.

“Everyone needs to understand that now is the time to talk to
your elected officials in Washington,” said Rabbi Yossie Charner,
Agudath Israel’s director of congressional affairs.

“For every PRO-ISRAEL call a congressional office receives,
we have been told that it gets even more from the other side.
We, as both an organization and as constituents,
must make our voices heard.
