    Thanks for the one of prompt service of somejew and katan re the source of chazon ish supposedly considering someone who celebrates yom hatsmaut as an apikorus

    we know now that is a fraudulent claim

    nowhere in the quoted text does it say that

    @simcha613

    the blame of early zionists going OTD is not to laid at door of the rabbanim

    it is where it rightfully belongs – at the door of those zionists themselves

    you are supporting revision of real history

    1] sh’ a OC 329 mandates yotsin aleihen bikli zayin ,meaning

    you go and fight them with weapons.

    2] sh’a YD 156 clearly states that any other avera besides the three hamurot , meaning

    all other averot [including supposed oaths] yaavor veal yehareig , because pikuach nefesh is doche all issurim , meaning

    you go, fight and save lives

    3] supposed issur of oaths are never mentioned anywhere in sh’a , not in OC , not in YD , not in EH, and not in CM., meaning

    there is no issur to fight in the first place

    Three clear proofs that sh’a plus rama plus all nosei keilim rule not like maharal [which is anyway mentioned in a non halachik sefer]

    I do not understand this whole hullabaloo

    did the mo’etsete of aguda in 1937 agree to the Peel proposal of establishment of 2 states in palestine ?

    or not ?

    are the members of this mo’etset lay leaders or torah leaders ?

    did those sages have in their gemarot the section about the oaths or did they never hear of the oaths ?

    /

    common sense rabotai

    @square root

    the gzera of enlistment of the yeshiva boys is terrible,

    and everything possible should done to stop it.

    the effect of this blatant attack on Judaism will in the long term have dreaded repercussions

    this gzera is clearly illegal according to the medina’s own laws.

    this should be stopped in its tracks straight away

    @katan

    you write :
    Age doesn’t make a practical difference. It is forbidden to put one’s self in a position of being shmaded and all three of the gimmel chamuros. They are yehareig viAl Yaavor.

    I personally know many people who served in IDF and were not shmadded at all .

    So the original question comes back -:

    katan permitted organized self defense in galut to save lives

    but he rejected IDF because it is a shmad army

    accordingly , what happens to bal tshuva who is a previous member of IDF and is now called to serve

    he is not impressionable as he is older now

    and knows he can withstand the tests how terrible they may be

    q is

    should he abstain from enlisting bichlal, even though he is needed for defensive operations only [eg Arrow anti missile unit]
    and he knows objectively that there is no replacement for him

    or should he enlist because of pikuach nefesh
    .

    could you answer this question ?

    @katan

    according to avnei nezer [and by extension mehaber rama nosei keilim and tur]

    harugei betar was because of a disconnection to the rbsh’o , not because of the oaths

    you did not learn the avnei nezer , so

    don’t speak in his name

    .
    .
    moshe rabenu was the greatest navi , correct, and there are important halachic ramifications because of this,

    cf ramban yesode hatorah where he cites this as reason why a navi who changes the torah is

    a navi sheker and liable for mitah bebeit din

    that’s why rambam mentions it in mishneh torah

    if there would be no practical ramifications rambam would have omitted it from yad,

    like ….. the oaths , which

    were omitted from yad hachazaka , because

    there are no practical ramifications !!
    .
    .

    do not scream at me for writing those lines , because

    I did nothing more than quoting avnei nezer here.

    according to avnei nezer the practical ramification when a possible transgression of the oaths presents itself , is

    to reconnect to the rbsh’o in a proper way
    .

    this is not very complicated .

    As we know from all the satmar who fruitlessly attempt to magnify the oaths,

    we all know that the oaths are not practical/halachically in force according to avnei nezer [and sh’a , rama,, tur and nosei keilim] just like Moshe Rabbeinu being the greatest navi who ever lived.

    Peaceful dismantlement of the Zionist “State” has never been publicly advocated by any religious Jewish political organizations , because there is no path to doing so without endangering millions of innocents.

    I see katan did not grasp the essence of the avnei nezer ‘s shita.

    he says [am repeating myself] that

    transgression of the oaths are NOT the reason for any punishment at all

    the punishment is for the disconnection from HKBH

    transgression of the oaths is merely a SYMPTOM of this disconnection

    so, the discussion should really center on the disconnection, which is the SOURCE of the problem

    you can rail against the symptom as much as you want

    but as long as you do not fix the source , you have not accomplished anything
    .
    .

    it’s equally clear that pikuach nefesh will for sure be doche the oaths

    as according to avnei nezer there is no halachic value to the oaths whatsoever [he says this very clearly]

    whereas the hiyuv to act bimkom pikuach nefesh is a foundational value in halacha

    so much so that it is docheh the overwhelming majority of the torah.

    Avnei nezer was not a zionist

    and neither am I –

    when I merely quote avnei nezer

    and neither are rov talmidei hahamim in klal yisrael when they reject satmar’s focus on the oaths , as

    the source of all evil in the world .

    .

    as said , avnei nezer considers the oaths as a SYMPTOM of a spiritual malady , which is

    THE DISCONNECTION from the rbsh’o , which is the real source of all evil in this world

    which we should focus on , and rail against.

    The word nevu’a has been used in many formats

    habad claims that their late leader is a navi as in the biblical format

    re a biblical navi , it says that someone not listening to his directive that is hayav mitah biydei shamayim [if remember correctly]

    in addition a biblical navi is authorised to suspend temporarily any mitsva except for avoda zara

    smag one of the leading rishonim says clearly that this biblical full fledged nevu’a has stopped with hagai zharya and malachi [part of trei asar]

    rambam spells out criteria for acceptance of biblical nevua

    habad’s claims for biblical nevua are clearly disproven by rambams criteria
    .

    as opposed to biblical nevu’a , any later use of the term nevu’a pertains to the lower leve non biblical nevu’a, which

    does not mandate anyone to listen and is not subject to admission criteria as per rambam .

    important to keep this stinction in mind whenever

    discussing habad’s leaders claim to biblical authority to command any jew to listen on pain of mitah byedei shamayim

    and his claim to the authority to suspend temporarily any mitsva except for avoda zara

    are not to be taken lightly at all

    these are very major discussions to be had

    avnei nezer says there is no punishments at all for going against the oaths

    the punishment mentioned is for an apparent disconnection between the person and HKBH

    the persons inclination to go against the oaths is only a thermometer of the level of [dis]connection between the person and HKBH

    pikuach nefesh would for sure be doche that

    @ somejew

    according to somejew the refutation of the baal hatchelet came in the form of the recent tshuvot vahanhagot by r moshe sternbuch shlita

    the baal hatchelet lived 150 [about ?] years ago, so

    according to somejew , until RM’S recent writing, the tchelet dye was binding halacha on everyone in klal yisrael ….

    in one word … absurd.
    .
    .

    klal yisrael , mainly its talmidei hahamim , read the claims of the baal hatchelet AND REJECTED THEM

    without any explicit refutational written work.

    that is pashut kebeya bekutcha.

    .

    .
    exactly the same with satmar rav’s writings

    anyone with a tiny drop of sechel and common sense knows that

    extreme writings like katan and somejew’s ARE NOT ACCEPTED, AND REJECTED by the overwhelming majority of talmidei hahamim
    .

    somejew is entitled to rant as much as he wants about the supposed kfira of anyone opposed to his views

    and some supposed similarity of association with Zionism to association with xtianity

    which is blatantly mezuyaf mitocho wherever you go in orthodox judaism , but

    his rants will not change the torah ,

    not change reality

    and not change the judicious application of the torah to said reality in this specific case, as

    it was done through centuries of halachik practise , in

    Katan claims that The Chazon Ish held that wine owned by a “Religious Zionist” is yayin nesech.

    This is sheker gamur.

    The Chazon Ish did not hold that wine owned by a “Religious Zionist” is yayin nesech , only because of his religious zionism .

    What is possible that there was a man who was a RZ and in addition held other dei’ot kozvot.

    Even SR am not sure whether he held a fully frum RZ as an apikores EVEN LEKULA

    remember — hafets hayim permits exaggerations in a case of malign influence .

    Again, I’m not expecting you or anyone to agree with my assertations. But, I expect you to adopt the teachings of our universally accepted Gedolim like the Maharal and certainly the Talmud itself as pure unadulterated Toras Moshe m’Sinai. If you don’t understand something, come to it with the humility of someone who know that the teacher is correct, but the student simply hasn’t yet grasped.

    ===

    you seem to get mixed up here

    what was my claim ?

    that many gdolim and talmidei hahamim disagree with your assertions and that therefore your assertions that “oaths are undisputed halacha” are plain incorrect.

    no one ever said that chazal chvsh is not ‘pure unadulterated Toras Moshe m’Sinai’.

    why do you have this ga’ava dik approach of “If you don’t understand something, come to it with the humility of someone who know that the teacher is correct, but the student simply hasn’t yet grasped.”

    maybe it is you who has not grasped what rov talmidei hahamim grasped already ?

    maybe it is YOU who should come to it with the humility of someone who know that the teacher is correct, but the student simply hasn’t yet grasped ?


    we are arguing about the proper pshat and how to apply it to one of the biggest problems of our time

    why all those condescending remarks ?

    [somejew to yb]
    in closing, I would point you to learn Vayoel Moshe and realize that in the Torah world – meaning in accepted Torah publications – there is no one cholek on his explanations of the sources he brings there

    this argument you mentioned already – or someone else of your allies like katan or ujm.

    apparently , it goes as follows : because there supposedly are no refutations published to vayoel moshe, the halacha stays like him.

    this is, however, a total fallacy .

    you for sure know and heard about the radziner rebbi , the ba’al hatchelet , who claimed he rediscovered the original hilazon .

    he wrote about it, publicized his findings and promoted the use of this techelet dye.

    he was known as a formidable talmid haham and tsadiq

    no publication was to my knowledge ever published refuting his claims

    according to your reasoning , his discovery remains halacha psuka for klal yisrael.

    is anyone accepting such a claim ???

    the fact is and remains that klal yisrael ,without publicizing refutations , rejected his shita.

    he was and remains a formidable t’ch and tsadiq

    but his shita was and still is rejected

    satmar rave is no different

    the whole world read his vayoel moshe

    all talmidei hahamim and rabanim read it

    and did not accept his claims

    so is this considered as ‘accepted halacha’ ?

    definitely not.

    …regarding the Avnei Nezer and his point about “not haluche” is a language also used by Satmar Rebbe in Vayoel Moshe to describe the sugya.
    But, that doesn’t mean that those gedolimm where – chas v’shulem – kofer in Toras Moshe, rather it means something different than you think …

    who mentions bichlal ‘kofer betorat moshe here ?

    how does that come in to the picture at all ?

    not halacha means that – it does not have the weight of halacha.

    chazal say a person should not get angry
    chazal also say one should not 4 amot in reshut harabim

    both are chazal

    one is halacha
    one is not

    big difference between the two

    the oaths according to avnei nezer and rambam and sh’a and tur and m’b
    are like the getting angry – not like the carrying 4 amot.

    re the post on a different thread, you referred to as an answer

    I will copy and paste it here.

    ====================================================
    again, the shavuos are generally about our obligation to live under non-jewish rule and the issur to rebel against their government and its rulership. This includes, as stated by the Maharal and others, even at threat of death.

    There is a separate obligation to save one’s life in the face of a random non-Jew or non-Jews who are being violent. This would have nothing to do with the Three Shevios.

    Up to here, is everything clear? – because this is basic basics of thinking ….
    =======================================================

    You originally prohibited any organized fighting in any circumstance, even when it saves lives , because of the oaths

    so I brought the sh’a hilch shabbat based on gm eruvin mandating organised fighting to save lives

    organised fighting is mandated even when in our own locality there is no possibility for pikuach nefesh
    nevertheless when the land will be noche lehikavesh

    meaning the land behind our locality will be conquered easier and quicker if our city would fall
    and in the places behind us there might be pikuach nefesh

    one is mandated to organize fighters to defend our locality
    because of the pikuach nefesh of the places behind us.

    which proves that bimkom p/n organized fighting is mandated

    it does not state in gemara eiruvin
    nor in the sh’a hilch shabbat
    any other precondition

    i.e. that organised fighting to save people from p/n , would need the approval of the relevant authorities.

    No, it says plainly – do it. Fight . Save the people .
    I there would be a caveat , SHULHAN ARUCH or one of the other commentators would have said : STOP , only if this is bir’shut hamelech

    why did not anyone say one word ????
    .
    Al korchach that p/n is doche anything which is not part of the hamurot.

    ….as mentioned your unbridled kefira makes me reluctant to continue the conversation. i long ago lost belief that you are here in good faith, particularly because of your bullying style, spamming of multiple threads, and “forgetting” or “ignoring” already answered questions …

    its not kfira nor is it unbridled kfira.
    I responded to all your charges that I am chv’sh writing kfira and
    you did not bring any to the point response to my responses, so
    you should not complain about any kfira

    its not spamming of multiple threads
    it is rather responses to what you ,katan and ujm wrote on multiple threads

    btw. those opening new threads are doing a disservice because it is easier to concentrate on one thread

    I am not bullying , I am just attempting to lay out the relevant arguments in an articulate manner
    [btw that’s what satmar rave zatsal would probably say to those talimidei hahamim who felt bullied by his emotional approach to this matter and therefore kept quiet and did not want to argue with him]

    re forgetting or ignoring your answers , it is clear to anyone going through the back and forth of our arguments , that you sidestepped most of my questions , while as far as I can see, I answered all of yours.

    We should go through the whole conversation , gather all our respective claims and answers , and
    you will see that yours are paruts merubeh al ha’omed ….

    @non political

    yes he did

    parshat shoftim 5751

    I still remember this from when it happened

    the big problem is the verification …

    at the time kfar habad and associated publications claimed that his “prophesy” that no one will be harmed in EY and that EY is the safest place in the world qualifies as an accomplished verification.

    everyone knows now that this was incorrect.

    according to rambam hilchot yesodei hatora

    which incidentally they themselves were pointing to

    when [it suited him/them]

    he made the original claim

    according to the very same rambam

    in the very same halachot

    an aspiring navi who predicts the future and

    is off by even one small detail

    is established as a vadai navi sheker

    and therefore is hayav mitah bebeit din

    i think that any further discussion of him being a navi

    is totally superfluous

    re the claim that the oaths are undisputed halacha as claimed by somejew , katan and ujm ….

    while avnei nezer clearly points to the omission of the oaths from mishne torah and shulhan aruch

    that they are not lehalacha

    ———

    Seems there are two dictionaries .

    one explains the word undisputed as ‘undisputed’

    the other explains undisputed as ………. ?

    seems that somejew , katan and ujm are hasidim of the second dictionary …..

    @katan

    katan permitted organized self defense in galut to save lives

    but he rejected IDF because it is a shmad army

    accordingly , what happens to bal tshuva who is a previous member of IDF and is now called to serve

    he is not impressionable as he is older now

    and knows he can withstand the tests how terrible they may be

    q is

    should he abstain from enlisting bichlal even though he is needed for defensive operations only [eg Arrow anti missile unit]
    and he knows objectively that there is no replacement for him

    or should he enlist because of pikuach nefesh

    somejew to yb:
    …. No Jewish person who cares about Jewish lives would ask for MORE zionism in response to the violence that zionism has caused!….

    The above logic does not make any sense at all and would be roundly rejected in any generation , from any beit hora’a around the globe

    think about it

    replace the word zionism with any other avera

    for example hilul shabat –

    the equivalent would be as follows

    and you will see the absurdity straight away

    the mafia came and organised mass hilul shabat r’l

    as a result of this mass hilul shabat there are mass jewish wounded r’l

    hatsole should not be mehalel shabat to save those wounded

    because

    “No Jewish person who cares about Jewish lives would ask for MORE hiliul shabat in response to the wounded that hilul shabat has caused….”

    this would be the height of absurdity.

    once pikuach nefesh is doche the issur , then there is no avera !!!!!

    it is a mitsva !!!! not an avera.

    Thats why hatsole will be mehalel shabat to save the temimim who were wounded because of the mafia’s hilul shabat

    and ONLY BRACHA will result from hatsole’s hilul shabat

    which was a mitsva gedola .

    same here

    the mafia tsionim caused pikuach nefesh while and because they were over on the issur of the oaths

    [according to somejews possibly mistaken reasoning]

    if pikuach nefesh is doche the oaths , then this is like pikuach nefesh being docheh shabat

    which turns the hilul shabat into a mitsva which brings only beracha

    likewise pikuach nefesh turns the hikul oaths in to bracha

    and no harm will befall anyone because of this mitsva.
    .

    think this is simple and should be agreed on by any normal and logical person .

    Looked in shulhan aruch and tur think YD siman 156

    as clear as day

    only 3 averot are yehareig ve’al yaavor

    ALL OTHERS ARE YAAVOR VEAL YEHAREIG

    including the so called oaths

    I must say that you are getting me angry

    you appear as someone who values torah above all

    and when it comes to this extremely important halachic issue of pikuach nefesh

    you suddenly depart in a very radical way from centuries established practice

    of paskaning first and foremost with the established halacha sefarim like tur and shulhan aruch

    and revert to agada sefarim AGAINST shulhan aruch !?!

    …. Dismantling the Zionist state, may it happen soon, does not mean anything more that passing on control to any other self-identifying non-Jewish governance. This could be the USA, the UN, Jordan, or Hamas. I’m not intending to push my own opinions on what is preferred, I am only intending to point out the obvious reality that if the residents of Israel all wanted to give up their state, there are many relatively peaceful pathways to ….

    Absolute hogwash .
    I have not heard bigger shtuyot than this comment in a long time.

    USA ?

    How many soldiers are the US willing to sacrifice for the big ‘merit’ to govern one of the most volatile places on earth ?

    I remember how one or two attacks by hezbollah got the mighty US soldiers packing from Lebanon in 1983.


    The UN ?

    they were meant to guarantee the demilitarisation of Sinai after 1956. Right ?

    how much resistance did they put up when threatened by Nasser ?

    they folded without a shot being fired .

    Jordan ?

    how many of the 37 shuls left in the jewish quarter of the old city in 1948 were still intact when the Jews returned after 1967 ?

    how many jewish residents still lived in the old city during that period ?

    do you really think Jordan would be able to suppress Hamas from their stated aim to drive out every Jew who cannot prove that his ancestors lived in Palestine before 1917 ?


    Last but least – the most spectacular of all of your stupid claims

    Hamas ?

    you are putting the fox literally in charge of the hen house.

    any further comment is totally superfluous

    schar va’onesh is only AFTER we do all possible to avert pikuach nefesh

    never heard hatsalah saying anything like your krumme svarot.

    you state in your post that pikuach nefesh is not docheh the so called issur of the oaths .

    1] what is your source

    2] why doesnt it say in hazal that there are 4 hamurot – a’z , g’a shf’d and the oaths ?

    3] sh’a when mentioning the three hamurot, OMITS ANY MENTION of the oaths . why is this not proof that pikuach nefesh is not docheh the oaths ?

    for the sake of honesty , you and your compatriots ujm and katan should stop quoting a so called ” universal all poskim agreement that the shavu’ot are bnding lahalacha ” .

    Dismissing AVNEI NEZER who is basing himself on omission of yad hachazaka, tur and shulhan aruch , is dishonest.

    You push the zionist propaganda that the Arab world want to mass murder all Jews while conveniently ignoring the clear truth that this fear is a direct explicit result of Zionist political activity in the region, turning our traditional friends and supporters in the Muslim world into our enemies. I can’t know what ‘s in the hearts of those non-Jewish nations, but the words they say align with historical precedence that they only have issue with zionists, not (per se) Jews.

    ===

    Your claims here seem to come from another planet.

    Ask the Druze about the reliability of what comes out of Arab Leaders mouths.

    Ask the Alawites .

    Ask the Kurds.

    Ask the Yazidi’s.

    Ask the xtians .

    The Hamas supporters in Europe claim that the jews will have to choose between the coffin and suitcase.

    Thats what they say now.

    And what will happen if there [for some silly technical reason] is no option of suitcase ?

    And what will the average Arab do when his leader is overthrown and there is no obvious replacement ?

    Who do you speak to then ?

    ===

    The real reason you do not take any of this into account is like I wrote:

    According to you the whole existence of IDF is yehareig ve’al yaavor, meaning that even if [chvsh] millions of innocents would be barbarically slaughtered , you still would close down the IDF .

    So thats why you have the liberty to come up with total nonsensical non solutions .

    You anyway ARE NOT CARRYING THE RESPONSIBILTY OF PIKUACH NEFESH on your shoulders .

    This is crystal clear from your whole approach .

    And on top of it, we heard it from your own mouth , claiming to rely on some [still] source less agadic maharal , contradicting clear poskim clearly traced back to gemara without holek , and poskim without any preconditions.

    So this whole discussion , according to you, is anyway totally irrelevant !

    Summary :

    one side is attempting to have real responsible pikuach nefesh discussion based on cold reality as it is now

    while

    the other side has bekalut da’at dismissed the pikuach nefesh side of it and therefore comes up with clear flippant theories [supposedly based on long gone history] on which the originator himself would not dream to rely on if it would pertain to his very own little daughter’s health and wellbeing.
