    Bottom line

    that remains clear : khazar state existed under the jewish religion

    the second temple was built under persian rule

    afterwards it stood under greek rule

    why is rebelling against greek rule not against the oaths ?

    When I said they do teshuva , obviously , I did not mean teshuva gemura and there is no avera at all,

    If that happened , then mashiach would have come .

    that goes without saying.

    I meant, they do teshuva and are at the same level as all other haredim are now.

    So :

    the question is –
    if all of the inhabitants of EY do tshuva and are nizhar in everything mamash , besides your interpretation of the oaths , is it permitted/obligated , to defend their safety and fight , in case they cannot run away / make peace / bring the UN / or any other possible etsah ?

    yes or no ?

    and why ?

    based on which halachik source ?

    I am specifically talking about pikuach nefesh here .

    it is pashut in shas , poskim and shulhan aruch that besides the three hamurot, pikuach nefesh is docheh everything else .

    you claim that the oaths take precedence over pikuach nefesh .

    the gemara contradicts that

    the poskim contradict that.

    the shulhan aruch contradicts that.

    no one suggested removing a letter from the torah

    if the whole citizenry would keep all mitsvot , except for your understanding of the oaths , that is .

    So the question is, again , in such a case ,

    THERE IS NO AVEROT ,

    besides the mere existence of the army , only as a shmira for a fully haredi citizenry ,

    is THAT yeahreig veal yaavor ? yes or no ?

    sorry but you have not answered .

    the question is , when faced with the absolute knowledge that those are going to be the results , no matter the advice you are giving them ,

    You have 10 children – if you know that three of them are going to lose their religion because of their service , would you send them ?

    You have 10 children – if you know that three of them are going to lose their health and come back as cripples because of their service , would you send them ?

    keep in mind that neither [religion and health] are a result of any enemy actions , both are the result of internal army structure and command

    If you could honestly answer both of those two questions …. without extra commentary.

    there are plenty of kol koreh’s re the physical situation in EY .

    we do say extra tehillim for years already , for the physical matsav in EY .

    polls measuring the amount of time put in altruistic and voluntary work for others in the community , put haredim at a huge multiple when compared with hilonim ….

    same with polls measuring the amount of finances given in a voluntary way to other people …

    if there are people who owe some answers in that regard, it is the hilonim , not the haredim ….

    Katan :

    I am not confused .

    Steiple never said that the ‘existence’ of the state is against the oaths .

    That’s sheker gamur.

    The distorted torah you quote is a mirror of certain sects within satmar , who do take a literal approach to the holy satmar rav’s writings .

    Many others take the SR writings as derech guzma , with the laudable goal of hitbadlut mei resha’im .

    If not for the SR zatsal , most of the haredim would have been swept up in the zionist tsunami engulfing the whole Jewish world after the bitter losses of the second world war.

    We all therefore owe the holy SR much hakarat hatov .

    But that does not mean that everything he wrote was meant to be taken in totally literal sense.

    And even if one does insist in taking all his writings literally , he still only represents a minority view in Judaism .

    Jobs which charedim typically do not take will need to be filled, be it in STEM fields or infrastructure and engineering. These are challenges Charedim are going to have to meet and I am interested how that will look given the current community aversion to these fields.

    If there is a need , they will set up courses accommodating their standards.
    I have a study partner who is a fully haredi engineer who is makpid on every halachik detail.
    Do you think haredim cannot master engineering ?
    I have a haredi neighbor who has a doctorate in mathematics, also makpid on every halachik detail.
    Do you think haredim cannot master mathematics ?

    Community aversion is a consequence of the moral degradation of the surrounding society .
    When the majority will be haredi this problem should have disappeared.

    existence of the state is not against the oaths

    establishment of the state may be a halachik transgression against the torah , because of the oaths [if you discount balfour 1917, san remo 1920 , peel commission 1936, partition plan 1947, international recognition 1948, and hasmatat hash’a and avnei nezer]

    it says nowhere in the torah that a state should not exist

    khazar state existed under the Jewish religion

    chashmona’im state existed under the Jewish religion
    .
    so, to label it ‘kefira’ is far fetched

    even satmar themselves do not fully consider them as kofrim

    their edut for gittin is not pasul

    the offspring of the ladies post those gittin are lefi satmar, not mamzerim lehalacha

    proof is in the pudding

    look at satmar’s actions rather than listening to their rhetoric …..

    We have to face the fact that we haredim are a persecuted minority in galut in our own land , between our own errant brothers , who are ready to use their majority , their power and any trick in the book, to ensnare us and our children in order to remake us in their own image .

    this brings huge challenges and I am not mekaneh our leaders who have to navigate this

    we need huge rachamei shamayim and be very determined ,clever and careful.

    the rubbish somejew , katan and ujm are spouting is not only clearly incorrect , it also makes our position worse , and the rbsh’o should open their eyes, both , to the torah and to the reality we live in, and they should stop being the world war one soldier who is still fighting his old battles, in wars of the twenty-first century [language chazon ish used]

    the main problem in your approach is your ironclad starting point that your shitah IS THE torah view,

    whereas I am attempting to start from WITHIN the accepted torah sources to establish as to whether the torah agrees with you or not ,

    using time honored massa umatan kedarka shel torah as seen in the countless thsuva sfarim of our greats over the generations

    if you cannot support your maskanot using those established processes , then your maskanot are null and void.

    hope and expect you to agree

    any approach lema’aseh we will adopt in regard to hishtadlut bimkom pikuach nefesh , will have be the same as the rabbanim adopted during all our previous generations bimkom pikuach nefesh .

    if gdolei harabanim adopted a certain approach lema’aseh to hishtadlut bimkom pikuach nefesh , it is incumbent on us to do the same , notwithstanding any hashkafic background .

    you speak as if your maskana is the torah and as if any question on it , is a question on the torah .

    this is totally wrong

    your maskana , is nothing more than your maskana , and any question on it from torah sources , is a challenge for you to prove your maskana right.

    so this not a debate between the torah and the outside world as many of the arguments on these pages are .

    this is , rather, a debate , within the torah.

    hope and expect you agree

    it is davka your [mis]understanding of the torah which I take issue with.

    Not you as a person per se .

    Although it still is you as a person who is having this misunderstanding.

    your [mis]understanding of the torah has huge implications
    [and that is an understatement] ,

    because if you are wrong , and we do have to take into account the bederech hateva hishtadlut for the well being of [for arguments sake] the two million shomrei shabbat in EY [status of the non shomrei shabbat is unclear , but let’s go with your shitah for now]

    and we do not,

    we are over on lo ta’amod al dam rei’acha, multiplied by two million !

    hope you agree with me that we have to one hundred and ten percent right that your psak that we do not have to take into account hishtadlut bederech hateva for those two million to survive , is correct.

    this will need to be proven airtight , not even one millimeter less .

    otherwise we are being mezalzel in dinei nefashot mamash.

    this is hamurot shebachamurot , which in time of hazal would need a beit din of minimum 23 .

    I learnt avnei nezer MULTIPLE TIMES .

    You both are clearly missing the point .

    I always agreed that going against the oaths is not a good thing
    .

    BUT THAT THE GOING AGAINST THE OATHS IS N O T THE R. E. A. S. O. N. FOR THE PUNISHMENT .

    THE D. I. S. C. O. N. N. E. C. T. I. O. N. IS THE REASON FOR THE PUNISHMENT.
    .

    you rail and rail against the symptom , totally ignoring the malady itself.

    so, although it is agreed that it probably is ‘better’ not to rebel and not to be oleh bechomah

    nevertheless it is NOT ASSUR AL PI HAHALACHA , and

    when someone feels the urge to do so ,

    instead of concentrating on repressing this urge, he should concentrate on rebuilding his connection , and the urge will automatically disappear.

    that is the true summary of divrei avnei nezer

    for anyone really looking for the truth.

    the torah I want to learn is psak lemaaseh

    psak lemaaseh in all areas of the torah , is based on

    1] the theoretical torah itself

    is this type of behavior reported, liable to be repeated in the middle east in 2025 and beyond ?

    Are you asking about HOW to dismantle the ….. state?

    I don’t know and don’t really care to imagine. I’m not the PM nor do I want to be.

    Thanks for this clarification .

    1] you say you don’t know how to dismantle the state ….

    assuming you mean , you do not know ‘how to dismantle the state’ without innocents being murdered or wounded in any way ….

    [because how to dismantle a state with no regard to innocent deaths or injuries, is not difficult at all]

    2] then you state ‘I don’t really care to imagine’ …… on this very same topic of dismantling the state without innocents being murdered or wounded in any way ….

    is this not a clear admission to what I have repeatedly claimed on these pages ?

    that somejew does not have a solution for the well being of the jews in EY

    and that somejew does care to find a solution for their wellbeing

    why not ?

    why does somejew not care , in the context of the oaths , for the well being of the jews in EY ?

    answer is aforementioned maharal , quoted by somejew, who states that to transgress the oaths is yehareig veal yaavor

    because pikuch nefesh is not docheh the oaths …

    what part of this simple analysis is incorrect ?

    i still don’t understand.

    I am Jewish. I don’t have “8 million brothers there”.

    Are you asking about HOW to dismantle the evil zionist state?

    I don’t know and don’t really care to imagine. I’m not the PM nor do I want to be.

    What I DO KNOW is that Jews should do tshiva and follow the Torah. This has nothing to do with the policies or agenda of kofrim like the zionists or their state.

    we are getting closer to nailing down your real shitah , thanks.

    you don’t have 8 million brothers there …

    so can you please specify – how many brothers do you have there ? can you supply a number please ?

    and by which exact criteria the others are excluded ?

    thanks
