Description

The laws of war are discussed. What are the differences between a milchemis mitzvah and reshus? Is there a meshuach milchama for a milchemis mitzvah? Are benei Noach commanded in kidush Hashem? Was it proper for the Chashmonaim to wage a war? Are kohanim exempt from a draft? What was the status of the kedusha of Aaron's sons? Can a kohen who kills an enemy soldier, duchan or bring a karbon? Why was Yaakov doubly afraid when meeting Eisav? Can one exchange prisoners in the middle of a war? What special rules apply to a Jewish army? Why are there wars in the world. Is it proper to bring arms into a shule? Should one daven in a shule which necessitates the carrying of arms on shabbas? Why is there antisemitism in the world?
