galut includes :
shibud malhuyot in the form of onerous taxes specifically on the jews
shibud malhuyot as they interfere with kiyum hamitsvot
lack of malhut beit david
dispersion of the yehudim all around the world
being far from EY
lacking the avoda
lacking the tahara engendered by hakravat hakorbanot
lacking the BHMK
lacking hashra’at hashechina
the tsa’ar hashchina
physical tsarot as a result of shibud malhuyot
the immense power of the se’or sheba’issa or the yetser hara
the fact that most of the world’s inhabitants are not aware of the RBSHO and his torah
lacking the required menucha needed to delve into torah properly
lacking batei din smuchim
—
that is as far as my mind goes at this moment
all of the above is included in galut
and will be restored when mashiach will come , may it be soon in our days

thats not a ‘gutte shailo’ at all
this is based on a simple lack of understanding
.no one in his right mind says that re missiles and hostages, no hishtadlut is required —
what they are saying is : the ‘hishtadlut’ which is specifically requested , i.e.
enrollment of our precious and impressionable youth [who will end up being the fathers and educators of the subsequent generation] into the army
will 1] make no material positive difference in the lot of the missiles and hostages anyway
and 2] will make an enormous negative difference in the essence of our precious youth in 99.999 % of the draftees
so —
even though it is true that hishtadlut in general , is required re missiles and hostages , nevertheless
said particular hishtadlut is not required by said particular youth
so —
as a result , using the general and overarching principle in yahadut , that
whenever hishtadlut by this particular person is not permitted , not possible, or not required , for whatever reason —
that person should suffice with the following – rely on, and hope for , and pray to HKBH for a speedy salvation
—
whereas in the case of stopping the immoral gzera of forced enlistment , said hishtadlut , sometimes – depending on the circumstances, is permitted
therefore as a result , again , using the general and overarching principle in yahadut , that
whenever hishtadlut by this particular person is permitted , or required ,
that person is obligated to do both —
also
rely on, and hope for , and pray to HKBH for a speedy salvation
and also
put in the required hishtadlut
.
.
this is not a contradiction at alljust two age old principles of yahadut , put into practice , in two totally different circumstances
.
.
.by the way – re funding – as far as I am aware , the demonstrations are not against the funding
they are only against the illegal kidnapping of innocent people
at the behest of biased crooks masquerading as legal experts …

it is well known that aguda was established as a reaction to mizrachi and its willing affiliation and support of the zionist movement
hafets hayim was a leading founding member of aguda
the lack of open writings against zionism from hafes hayim ‘s side , should be attributed to tactical reasons , not to strategy

there is no written tshuva from him re the issue you mention .
there are reports of an oral one .
that was not a psak as such , as far as I understand
that was an etsa , an advice ,
by the way , from a klal yisrael perspective , with the benefit of hindsight , it was sound advice …

the unsavory tactics of demonstrating together with people whose hands are stained with Jewish blood
and participating in Iranian holocaust denying conferences
are considered unsavory by 99.9 % of orthodox jews
ranging across the whole spectrum , from satmar to mizrachi
from talmidei hahamim gedolim umuflagim to amharatsim gemurim
this [by the way correct] view is held by all of the above , long before my words were posted
and will stay the same after your defense of their underhanded tactics will be long forgotten already
it is not motsi shem ra , nor is it lashon hara
this is pashut to anyone who is part of the 99.9 %

WW2 started september 1939 with germany and then soviet russia attacking poland
mir , in eastern poland was conquered by the soviets
the yeshiva fled mir which was under soviet occupation towards vilna in october 1939 after receiving a clear psak [!] from rav ch’o that they should even be mehalel shabat to do so
rch’o took the initiative to send telegrams to the yeshivot under soviet occupation at the time
vilna was also under soviet occupation at the time
but r’ch’o was told that vilna would be handed over to the then still free and neutral Lithuanian government
which actually happened a few weeks after the yeshivot arrived in vilna
the question of yeshivat mir fleeing from vilna to the far east came up later , after the soviet occupation of free lithuania in the summer of 1940
that was during the period lithuania was occupied by the soviets for the period around one year between the soviet invasion during the summer 1940 and the nazi invasion during june 1941
during that year the yeshiva was grappling with the question about applying to the soviets for exit visas
and that was after r’ch’o was niftar already
at no point was there any ‘psak’ from anyone either way , re the advisability of filing requests to exit the communist ‘paradise’ .

why are hazals definitions of galut not good ‘working definitions’ ?
I did not post “random musings” …
I posted hazal’s definitions of galut
why are hazal’s definitions not ‘commonly agreed foundations’ ?
I am not disagreeing perse with anything you wrote
just that it is hollow ,incomplete and therefore misleading , to define a concept by only one characteristic …
all explanations by hazal are relevant …

or not ?

steipler is NOT referring to the neturei karta as we are
thats clear to any careful reader
he is addressing the issue of VOTING ONLY
he uses the term neturei karta to describe the hevrei ha’eida
thats all
there is no reference whatsoever to any of the unsavory tactics of those neturei karta as they are known

I am not serious ….
I cannot stand ideological straightjackets .
posters like katan and somejew from one side and posters like evalemoshiv and square on the other side
all have their agendas and they push them irrespective of the real world realities and the inevitable consequences their so called solutions will engender
they are doing so blindly and therefore are dangerous

you are mixing issues
RMF halachically [!] disagreed with those who assered giving back land even bimkom pikuach nefesh . nothing to do with the principle of datt torah
there was no ‘psak’ by r ch’o about shanghai at any time
by the way rch’o was niftar just weeks after the soviets marched into vilna
before the yeshiva moved from lithuania
daat torah was never invented
it exists only to the extent that there are sources in the torah supporting it
and cannot be an invention if thereare sources for it

October 22, 2025 10:06 am at 10:06 am in reply to: 770: A Mikdash or a Madhouse? Rabbonim Must Act Now #2461721yankel berelParticipantThe point is that Lubavichers face the same problem. I’m sure that many recognize the issues that we’ve brought to the fore, but they feel that they can’t say or do anything or they’ll face ostracism.
—
that’s an overly rosy view in my opinion …
the lubavichers are hamstrung ,but not because of the fear of ostracism
it is because they cannot accept , under any circumstance , that their rebbi should be mistaken , anytime , on any topic whatsoever
and it is that irrational belief which is the foundation and the singular source of their continuous conundrum
on all of their so called ‘issues’ which are brought up , they are able to point to utterances or writings of their “infallible” rebbi which are a valid source for their mistaken and problematic belief
even though that their rebbi himself is not able to point to any preceding source to validate his opinion
the very minute that a habadi is willing to accept the possibility that his leader , even while being great man , erred , is the very minute of his salvation
otherwise we will continue to go round and round in the same merry go round without any solution whatsoever
.
.
.yankel berelParticipantOk –I read somejews last post now , will redefine my post now and use his terminology
to summarize the above conversation , according to the staipler :
belief in trinity is —kfira be’ikar
belief in reform is —kfira be’ikar
.
.shitat beit shmai according to beit hillel is —a mistake
but not kfira be’ikarwhen I learn a gemara and learn the wrong peshat it is —a mistake
but not kfira be’ikarbelief in athaltah di geoula is —a mistake

I would like to make a suggestion based on RAMBAM . Yes, I am suggesting preparing Orthodox Israeli Jewry for mass Yeridah, and I even have a plan.
Send a delegation for a series of meetings with Government Ministers. (Yes non Jewish Ministers)
Say to them, we are preparing our communities for mass Yeridah.
We want our communities and their families to be able to live near one another and to retain our culture, our educational system etc. We need proper and adequate employment and social services. We need shuls, schools, yeshivos, seminaries, etc.
It can be done. There are large empty expanses of land – in Chuts la’arets .
Yeridah has many challenges but when done together, it’s a whole different story.
I know that I’ll be hit in the face with all sorts of hashkafos that serve the purpose of easing guilt over staying put, but times have changed.
Our precious youth in Israel are hunted by a mafia-like unelected clique , like some sort of criminals.
This is totally unacceptable and unsustainable .
We cannot foresee the results of this unprecedented and evil witch hunt .
WE MUST HAVE A PLAN B!
We MUST seriously consider mass yeridah , for the sake of the Jewish Nation’s eternal future !

there is more than one type / level of galut
there is the galut of being far from EY
there is the galut of lacking a BHMK
there is the galut of lacking the shehina
there is the galut of physical tsarot as a result of shibud malhuyot to varying degrees , different in various locales and times
there is the galut as manifested as power of the se’or sheba’issa which seems to hold the world in its clutches
there are so many aspects and levels of this overarching word galut that it is very difficult to encapsulate it in one or 2 words
the truth is that it is all of the above and probably even more

gemara baba batra 8A [if remember correctly] says that limud hatorah if on high level will bring mashiach
if on lower level will reduce shibud malhuyot in the form of easier taxes on the jews
and if on even lower level then the taxes of the shibud malhuyot will be crushing
we see that there are different levels of shibud malhuyot

the jew under the czar in the 1800’s was also in galut

and rav elyashiv himself as nonagerian who protested at any slight bichvodo shel rav kook

the difference between you and other commenters is that you cannot acknowledge any type of nuance
while reality and the whole world is full of nuances
.
.rav kook was controversial – yes
many disagreed with him – yes
many criticized him – yes
but at the same time – many held of him
and that is the meaning of the word ‘controversial’
why cant you acknowledge that ?
.rav shlomo zalman took his haskama for his ma’adanei erets and for his me’orei haeish
his son rav shmuel did not let the printers omit his haskama
these are facts and should be acknowledged

.October 21, 2025 5:47 pm at 5:47 pm in reply to: The Steipler Gaon on Zionism and on the Neteurei Karta #2460822yankel berelParticipantanyone who carefully reads the Steiplers letter will see his intent
the question was very clear
it was regarding participation in israeli elections
where the camps are delineated
on one hand – there is the aguda [then] which now includes shas degel and ets , who all agree in principle to the heter [or hiyuv] of participation
on the other hand – there is the edah haredit and the kana’im who all agree to the total issur of participation irrespective to any potential gains – it is non negotiable assur and that’s it
the answer given is clearly to follow the aguda approach and not the edah approach
qualified by the clear statement that the edah approach and their people are needed , chaviv , chashuv and should not change their shita
that is in essence the whole tshuva by the steipler
at no point in this tshuva does he discuss participation in holocaust denying conferences
nor participation in sonei yisrael demonstrations
he does employ the word neturei karta but it is abundantly clear from the context that he is not referring to any of the people who happen to demonstrate with sonei yisrael
or travel to holocaust denial meetings
he is referring to people who consider israeli elections as part of the 3 averot hamurot and therefore assur unconditionally.
all those who are really looking for the emet , will agree to what I wrote …

“Chabad mashpia Rabbi Yosef Paltiel, a popular “Stump the Rabbi” segment speaker, has said that Chabad chassidim primarily serve the Rebbe, and through serving the Rebbe they also serve Hashem.”
—you hit the nail on its head here .
this is one the main issues of habad’s divergence from torah true judaism
and one of the main sakanot of the future development of errant habad theology
.
.who knows where this is going to lead to , when new habad generations are going to arrive on the scene
never to have known those who still remember the flesh and blood version of their wrongly deified leader ….
.
.yankel berelParticipantyou are obfuscating …
we were discussing : A] the kfira of trinity and reform
not
B] mistakes in interpretation of the tora
or
valid machlokot within torah
the difference between A and B is of the magnitude as the difference between literally shamayim and arets
steipler classifies athaltah d/g belief as a mere mistake , not as “kfira”
whereas belief in trinity or reform is definitely full fledged “kfira”
.
.it is already high time to admit to the obvious , mr somejew …..

ch’ch was betokfo in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s up until mid 1920’s.
thereafter his health declined , he was niftar in 1933
REW ‘s ma’marim were written in the mid and late 1930’s
different times , different situations
he always ran them past R Chaim Ozer , and at least once did not publish a maamar after RCH’O objected
.
.yankel berelParticipantsomejew claims that he “didn’t see anywhere that the Steipler says that NK are mistaken” ….
the Steipler writes:
[…]
……………בעיקר הדבר כך דעתי העניי נוטה שמצוה רבה להצביע לרשימה החרדית ושיש בזה ממש הצלת הדת לפי המצב כעת……
……..ומה ששמע מעלתו שיש איסורים בדבר…….
כתב מע’ שיש איסור בהצבעה מצד מודה בע”ז, והוא דבר שאין לו שחר, הלא המציאות בעוה”ר הוא שהשלטון בידם לע”ע ומחמת מציאות זו מצביעים ושותפים שומרי תורה להתם ע”ם להציל כפי האפשרי, ואיזו הודאה יש כאן שמסכים ברשעת הרשעים ח”ו בדעות טמאים שלהםוידע מע”כ שגם לצורך קנאות אסור לגלות פנים בתורה שלא כהלכה, ומה שאינו אמת אינו מצליח כלל
how can somejew not see which is obvious to all ???
NK clearly hold that participating in elections is prohibited , as the questioner to the steipler held
whereupon the steipler answers that this is a “davar she’ein lo shachar” ….
and labels that view as “giluy panim batorah shelo kehalacha”
and as “eino emet” and predicts that it therefore will be “eino matsliach klal”
.
.
in other words – as clear as can be : that according to staipler the NK and somejew are mistaken !and hold opinions against the torah !
which according to somejews own [convoluted and totally mistaken] reasoning is nothing less than kfira ?!
on par with trinity and reform ???!!!
.
.
nothing less than total absurdity …..
.
.yankel berelParticipantsomejew is [again] distorting the issues….
.
.kfira means – kfira in the 13 yesodot of judaism
for example trinity and reform
.
.mistake means wrongly interpreting the torah – which is a mistake but not kfira
for example beit shammai’s opinion of beit hillel’s shitah and vice versa
and all other machlokot within torah

there is no indication whatsoever to be taken from the fact that hafets hayim approved of rav kook going into the rabinate

so – simple logic – it follows then , that whenever you look in the mirror …. you are looking at a kofer …..
