Description

Short bio. Torah requires all to serve in IDF. Similarity of Haredi Judaism to Reform. Avoid anger. Problem begins in 1884, with Zionism. Herzl & Moshe Rabbeinu came from non-religious environment, thus succeeded. Great rabbinic Zionist leaders failed. Herzl became a meshuga for Zionism. R' Reines founds Mizrachi. Agudath Israel position in 1919: Pro-sovereignty is apikorsus. Agudah is responsible for pork in Israel. Litvish world became Chassidic in nature. Everyone is in black, a portable ghetto. In Israel you must be part of building the country, no ghetto. Satmar's view. Agudah's ban on attending the Washington March for Israel in 2023. Examples of how in Israel one successfully combines Nation of Israel in Land of Israel with Torah of Israel. Agudah opposes voting in World Zionist Congress election. The Rav on applying Rambam to the Satmar anti-Israel demonstration. Engaging the Essence, by R' Yosef Bronstein. The successful Chabad method of encouraging Torah observance. No yelling. 1,000s of Chareidim in army will make things change. YU & its LGBTQ+ club: relevant issues, real life examples, & possible ways of dealing with this. A dual personality in Israel is wonderful.
