Country Yossi?
Some of the Gedolim agree to paying lip service to “quotas” which are tacitly understood to be filled mainly by shababniks, OTD, Chardakim, etc. who “are anyway being mechalel Shabbos and doing issurei kares”… (It is known in the Chareidi world who said that.) Others disagree even with that. There is a difference between “not learning” and “mechalel Shabbos” (“Issurei kares” means having a GF if you didn’t understand.)
It’s hardly a secret that was said by HaGaon HaRav Ahron Leib Shteinman. It was widely and publicly reported at the time:
Recently Released Letter By Maran HaRav SHteinman To Hagon HaRav Don Segal Regarding Nachal Charedi
YYA: Every secular, Reform and Conservative Jew, virtually anywhere in the world, also, had frum great grandparents, not too long ago.
Evalimoshavlo: Israel is part of Golus. You can’t leave Golus before Moshiach comes.
anonymous Goy: Do you eat chazer?
Chizuk? Don’t worry; you’re in the Five Towns. When Mamdani rounds up the Jews to put them into concentration camps, he won’t be able to reach you.
mdd, like YYA pointed out to you — Satmar (and Brisk, Toldos Ahron, the Eidah HaChareidus and a number of others) never accepted Israeli government funding, ever, to begin with. Since 1948. And they are all still around. And thriving.
If the Yeshiva velt, the Litvaks, other Chasidim, etc need to give up every penny of Israeli government funding to keep the government out of our business and keep us our of their treife army, we’ll all give up every penny from their government and still stay far far away from the tuma army.
I do a write in vote for any office that there’s no Republican or Conservative candidate. (With a tiny number of exceptions, sometimes.)
mdd1: I would like to hear your opinion on the question of should shvach bochorim be completely and entirely exempt from army service, given the fact of how so so many shvach bochorim enlist in the IDF while observant but by time they’re discharged from service they’re frei.
Yes or no, Reb mdd?
Democracy is not a Jewish concept. Judaism supports a monarchy that’s a Jewish theocracy.
The statistics I’ve seen was around the 50% mark as the figure of RZ/DL enlistees in the IDF that come out frei.
You should submit this as your thesis for your Master’s.
AAQ: RJBS was never a member of the Moetzes.
It is absolutely legitimate — and even mandatory — for a Rov to unequivocally state that a certain person in an apikorus, if he believes that is to be the case. That isn’t an ad hominem; it is simply a religious obligation to publicize such a truth. Even a neutral third party would need to admit he has the right to express that sincerely held opinion.
Now, if we can only get Sam2 to show his face again…
mdd1, what about the many many many many who go in shvach and come out frei? Or who go in shtark and come out shvach? Or who go in shtark and come out frei?
Are you in favor of granting an exemption from serving in the army to anyone and everyone who is shvach?
mdd1, I personally know a man who bit a dog.
It happens.
sam4321, welcome back. Looooong time no see.
Simcha: The Zionists army deserves no hakoros hatov whatsoever. The Zionists triggered the last 75+ years of constant and endless wars and terrorism. They set the bed. Now they want those who aren’t responsible for their terrible problems to fix it for them. Let them fix it themselves.
How is wearing a lace shaitel any different than wearing a top that is designed to look like it’s your actual cleavage and chest, looking like you aren’t wearing any top at all?
