And later I learned that everything written in the Torah is true! 1838 The people of Israel have a role in the world and we cannot escape our 1839 destiny, and exile is another tool in God's hand to prepare us for 1840 redemption.

It 1853 is clear that its establishment was correct and justified in light of our 1854 historical right, but its establishment in isolation from its heritage is a 1855 childhood disease from which it will suffer in the future. The establishment 1856 of the state was intended to take advantage of a historical opportunity to 1857 provide a refuge for the Jews of the world on the one hand and to establish a 1858 new society, a national melting pot, on the other. However, as Prisoner of 1859 Zion Jonathan Pollard accurately put it in an interview he gave after 1860 returning to Israel after 30 years in an American prison: "To this day I 1861 feel like I am in exile. I have not returned home to a Jewish state that is 1862 run according to the will of God."

On Tuesday, Elul 5762 (2002), 1875 what is known as the "Forum of the three Commandments for the 1876 Appointment of the King" convened. This was also the trigger for the 1877 publication of the essay online. As a believing Jew, it is clear to me that 1878 the establishment of the Israeli (Zionist) state is a stage in redemption in 1879 preparation for a Jewish state that will be established according to the 1880 teachings of Israel.

And also the fact that the state was established by the 2129 Zionists, most of whom did not strictly observe the commandments, says <span 2130 class=SpellE>Darshani</span>. In contrast to the rabbis (Rabbi Hirsch) who 2131 argued that the state that Zionism aspired to establish had no religious 2132 value, and in contrast to Ben-Gurion who thought that in the state that would 2133 be established there would be no need for religion, Rabbi Kook determined 2134 that the State of Israel is the foundation of God's throne in the world (<span 2135 class=SpellE>Orot</span> <span class=SpellE>Yisrael</span> 6, 7), and that it 2136 should be established without having to wait for the coming of the Messiah, 2137 when the destiny of the Jewish people could only be realized with the 2138 establishment of the Jewish state. In his view, Zionists have an important 2139 role in the divine plan, which He placed on the "earthly level," 2140 after which they would be elevated to the holy level (Rabbi <span 2141 class=SpellE>Itay</span> <span class=SpellE>Esman</span>, Elite Exchanges in 2142 the Mishnah of Rabbi Kook).

Tractate Sanhedrin (according to Rabbi <span 2183 class=SpellE>Adin</span> <span class=SpellE>Steinsaltz</span> in the introduction 2184 to Tractate Sanhedrin) describes a governmental system with a president or 2185 king, and there exist side by side the courts of the Sanhedrin whose 2186 authority is granted by the Torah, and the courts of the state that deal with 2187 all matters of state order whose authority derives from the laws of 2188 government. With regard to the physical rule that the tractate deals with, it 2189 is clear that the king (also called the president) does not necessarily come 2190 from the House of David and his position is not inherited. The president is 2191 obligated to consult with the Greater Sanhedrin, especially regarding policy 2192 decisions that concern the entire nation, such as declaring war. It is also 2193 clear from the tractate that the executive branch, while being subject to the 2194 laws of the Torah, It is completely independent. The king/president has 2195 judicial authority, and he heads a system of courts that judge according to 2196 the "royal laws" - the orders and regulations of the government.<span 2197 lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 2198 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 2199 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 2200 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 2201 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 2202 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 2203 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 2204 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 2205 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 2206 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 2207 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>Now is the 2208 time to wake up and return to the worship of God, to the Torah, to establish 2209 a Jewish state according to the Torah of Israel, and to restore to the 2210 national discourse our commitment to the expectation of redemption.

Redemption of 2236 consciousness means liberation from the shackles of prejudice and 2237 self-deception while eliminating our inner need to lie – to hide our 2238 nothingness.

One of the implications of this approach is that 2271 redemption will come when we want it. God does not arrange the plan of life 2272 for people individually, even if this does happen in reality without our
2273 awareness, but God gives us the tools to participate with Him in creation, in 2274 the cultural development of humanity, in the advancement of science. And the 2275 philosopher. These tools are first of all reason - the human being's ability 2276 to observe and the ability to learn. And from reason also comes the obvious 2277 insight that in order to be good, one must think well (positively) about 2278 God's other creatures and do everything for the common good, because this is 2279 part of creation. In Psalms (34:12-15) it is already said: "Go, my 2280 children, listen to me; the fear of the Lord is what I teach you. What man is 2281 there who desires life, who loves days to see <span class=GramE>good</span>? 2282 Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Turn away from 2283 evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it." We must remember and 2284 memorize these verses well, in order to strengthen our kindness.

The tools are 2309 the people of Israel whose mission is to be the spearhead in making humanity 2310 more humane. The tools are the Land of Israel where the Jewish people 2311 (Israelis - in the philosophical sense of the word) can strengthen themselves 2312 nationally so that they can continue to spread the morals of <span 2313 class=SpellE>Hashem</span> among the peoples of the world. From this it is 2314 clear my position that the state is a tool, not a goal, and should be treated 2315 as such. In this state, we determine the <span class=GramE>procedures of 2316 government according to the method that we believe serves</span> the public 2317 and the national goal in the best way, of course in a manner that is 2318 appropriate to the Torah of <span class=SpellE>Hashem</span> and the morals 2319 of <span class=SpellE>Hashem</span>. When <span class=SpellE>Hashem</span> 2320 demands of us to behave in His image, He charges us with determining the most 2321 appropriate social path to serve this message. True, it is not simple at all 2322 and there have been many who have already dealt with the issue of state and 2323 law and morality, from the first to the last, from Zionists to Zionists. But 2324 this time it is different, we are actually in the process of redemption. The 2325 redemption that is happening right before our eyes when at the same time we 2326 are experiencing an abysmal polarity that is opening up between the different 2327 groups among Jews, and also between those who are not Jews according to their 2328 identity. We need to think about how we want to see the state, all the issues 2329 of the system of government down to the smallest details, even about the 2330 balances between the different streams in Judaism, and the interaction 2331 between religion and state, in order to avoid mines that will emerge later. I 2332 am certainly not the first to ask what life will look like in a redeemed 2333 state and therefore it is better to raise the issues on the subject now. 2334 There have been many who have talked about this but in this essay we will 2335 also suggest how to do it correctly so that it really works.

Not only does democracy fail in real time, it is also a fertile 2375 ground for the growth of corrupt politicians and a rotten legal system in 2376 which one person watches over the other. Moreover, it turns out that this is 2377 the case in the world, not just here. It is true that during elections, 2378 politicians come out with beautiful words to please the public, but the next 2379 day everything is forgotten until the next elections. This is how the system 2380 works, especially when the public itself is inflamed and ignorant, fed 2381 propaganda from all directions and incitement from the <span class=GramE>media,</span> 2382 and it is also unable to choose in an informed manner. Now we have reached 2383 the moment of truth. We can no longer avoid a thorough treatment of the issue 2384 of the correct system of government. Judaism itself is also not democratic at 2385 its core. The leading people and/or rabbis are not elected by the entire 2386 public. There are bodies whose job it is. Ostensibly, this is how one 2387 distances oneself from hatred and controversy and unites around what is 2388 agreed upon.

And 2408 even if it is not democratic in the broad sense of the word, it certainly 2409 implements micro-democracy in the system in order to bring about the election 2410 of the best, and it is also the key to success. The Sanhedrin is responsible 2411 for Jewish law and for electing the president, and the council of elders 2412 decides who will be on the Sanhedrin.

These will deal with theft, fraud, breach of trust and other 2518 offenses that do not involve the use of violence, and will be served by 2519 high-level investigators suitable for judging. The investigation committees 2520 will be dedicated and will be given extensive scope and investigative powers. 2521 They will have the authority to conduct the investigation, prosecute the 2522 offender and try him at the same time without procedural delays. Of course, 2523 there will also be a regular police force whose traditional role will remain 2524 unchanged, such as maintaining Public order and handling of violent offenses: 2525 prevention, arrest, investigation and prosecution. The investigation 2526 committees will also staff the composition of the fast-track court in a lower 2527 instance.

I believe, and all signs support this, that redemption is at hand. 2625 Therefore, it is important to transform it from an abstract interest into a 2626 living and breathing matter. Many books and essays have been written about 2627 the days of redemption by the sages. Maimonides publishes a systematic 2628 Mishnah on the subject of the monarchy (Laws of Kings and more). And 2629 recently, Rabbi Yehuda <span class=SpellE>Zoldan</span> compiled a collection 2630 of essays on the subject of the Jewish state in his book (Kingdoms of Judah 2631 and Israel). The abundance of publications indicates the importance of the 2632 subject among Torah-<span class=SpellE>observants</span>. And this is where 2633 my essay comes in, which covers the practical side, which today seems 2634 irrelevant, but whose critical importance for initiating the processes of 2635 redemption is undeniable. It will be difficult to trust people from the 2636 community, certainly from the Torah community, to be able to successfully 2637 undertake such a huge national, economic, political, industrial project. And 2638 this goes beyond the laws of government and monarchy (which also require 2639 further discussion). Responsibility for these issues must not be left to 2640 fate, or more accurately - to party members and officials without the 2641 required experience, as is done today in the most cynical way.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 2642 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 2643 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 2644 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 2645 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 2646 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 2647 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 2648 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 2649 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 2650 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 2651 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>The key 2652 question that must be answered before we begin to offer solutions is what <span 2653 class=GramE>is redemption</span>.

As stated in the introduction, 2657 on the personal level, redemption means liberation. Liberation from mental 2658 restraints, from external bondage, from stigmas and prejudices that will 2659 enable openness to the words of God. On the national level, it means the gathering 2660 of all those who were rejected to the Land of Israel, the adoption of the 2661 Torah of Israel, the establishment of Jewish rule in the Land of Israel, a 2662 rule of justice and light for the Gentiles (and yes, a rule of justice also 2663 goes hand in hand with Judaism). In short: utopia. We will realize, from a 2664 national perspective, all the most imaginative dreams we have ever had. We 2665 learn from the <span class=SpellE>Ramban</span> (in the introduction to the 2666 book of Exodus) that the redemption does not end with the gathering of the 2667 exiles or with self-government.

"Rabbi <span 2812 class=SpellE>Nehorai</span> disagrees and says that this <span class=SpellE>parasha</span> 2813 was not spoken except against the resentment of Israel." If we read the 2814 previous verse: "When you come to the land that the Lord your God has 2815 given you and possess it and settle in it, and say, 'I will set a king over 2816 me like all the nations that are around me,'" we understand the context 2817 to which Rabbi <span class=SpellE>Nehorai</span> is referring. The fear that 2818 the people will want to appoint a king like the Gentiles and even from among 2819 the Gentiles is why God stipulates that the king must come from among the 2820 people, but there is no obligation to appoint a king. <span class=SpellE>Ido</span> 2821 <span class=SpellE>Rechnitz</span> expanded on this issue in his book 'Medina 2822 <span class=SpellE>Kehalacha</span>' (pp. 21-27) and also in his essay 2823 "Appointing a King - A Divine or Democratic Appointment." The 2824 solution proposed by Rabbi <span class=SpellE>Nehorai</span> is to be 2825 satisfied with the president of the Sanhedrin who will also take on the 2826 leadership of the people. Rabbi Yehuda, on the other hand, advocates the 2827 separation of powers: the Sanhedrin will deal with law and the king with 2828 political leadership and management of the needs of the state. Most of the <span 2829 class=SpellE>poskim</span>, including Maimonides, support the separation of 2830 powers as demanded by Rabbi Yehuda.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 2831 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 2832 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

To this end, a strong and authoritative person is needed who is 2845 completely afraid of G-d and all those around him obey him.

There are a number 2861 of approaches to this presented by the great men of Israel, all of which rely 2862 on the sources. And to increase the difficulty in implementing the monarchy, 2863 our rabbis added a <span class=GramE>caveat, that</span> in the future, the 2864 king would only come from the house of David! The monarchy was promised to 2865 David by the prophet Nathan, who determined that his throne would be true 2866 forever, and hence it was determined in the law that the monarchy would 2867 return only to a king from the house of David. As above, the question of the 2868 identity of the Messianic King arises: In <span class=SpellE>Yerushalmi</span> 2869 (<span class=SpellE>Berachot</span> Chapter 2 <span class=SpellE>Halacha</span> 2870 4) it is said, "If he is from the living, his name is David. If he is 2871 from the dead, his name is David," and according to Moses, the meaning 2872 of the resurrection of the dead will be David himself. The <span 2873 class=SpellE>Lubavitcher</span> <span class=SpellE>Rebbe</span> explains that 2874 the soul of King David will be clothed in the Messianic King.

The <span class=SpellE>Gra</span> 2925 explains, according to the Jerusalemite, that the basis for appointing a king 2926 is the consent of the nation. From this we learn about the law for appointing 2927 a king who does not come from the House of David. The right of the House of 2928 David remains permanent, but if this is not possible, it is possible to 2929 appoint a king who is not from the House of David by temporary decree, but 2930 according to a prophet and/or Sanhedrin. The <span class=SpellE>Ramban</span> 2931 resolves this problem by stating that it is possible to appoint a king by 2932 temporary decree without anointing him, "for there are no anointers 2933 except kings from the House of David." The Torah also refers to the 2934 president: "If a president sins and does any of the commandments of the 2935 Lord his God, which <span class=GramE>are</span> not done unintentionally and 2936 with impunity" (Leviticus 4:22). The Mishnah asks: Who is the leader, 2937 the king, as it is said, “And he did one of all the commandments of the Lord 2938 God, who has no one above him but the Lord God” (<span class=SpellE>Horoyot</span> 2939 3:3). The sources do not refer to the leader of a tribe, but to a leader who 2940 is also called a king, but from this we can also see the leader as a leader 2941 who is elevated above the people, but humble.

The Sanhedrin 2999 is appointed by the Council of Elders, and they have real powers and teeth, 3000 since it is the Sanhedrin that elects (or dismisses) the president and 3001 supervises his actions. The circle is completed by the president, who 3002 appoints the members of the council only based on the recommendations of a 3003 special committee. In this way, we have dual control mechanisms here that 3004 will reduce the risk of any of the elements taking on excessive powers and 3005 thus jeopardizing the harmony in this delicate system.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 3006 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3007 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

Obviously the initial path is contingent on the course 3023 of the Redemption, for example: will it be a slow and deliberate process, in 3024 which everything will proceed according to the book? Or will it be a rapid 3025 and traumatic process led by a leader who emerged from the people or even by 3026 God Himself? There are no answers yet, and it is not important for the 3027 purpose of the discussion. The president who will head the state will indeed 3028 be of the rank of a king with all the powers, except of course for the fact 3029 that the position is not inherited.

I of course expect that the people will 3304 understand the significance of the time of redemption (because without the 3305 people there is no redemption), and the elders of the generation will give 3306 their consent to the Sanhedrin. The members of the Sanhedrin will be elected
3307 by the Council of Elders of Israel, which will include 12 of Israel's great 3308 elders who will be recommended to the president by a special committee. The 3309 council will also be authorized to cancel an appointment to the Sanhedrin if necessary. 3310 This system, which separates powers between the electorate and the governing 3311 bodies, is a brave and innovative idea that will neutralize the phenomena of 3312 corruption and the persecution of populism by giving more power to the 3313 reviewing bodies. In this system, the president's influence on the electorate 3314 is indirect and of a low degree.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 3315 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3316 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 3317 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 3318 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 3319 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 3320 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3321 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 3322 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 3323 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 3324 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>Unlike any 3325 monarchical system that we know from the past, the system proposed here is <span 3326 class=GramE>fair,</span> and much more representative of the good of the 3327 state and the good of the public compared to any "democracy" of 3328 today. This is the only system in my opinion that will work and give a chance 3329 for a fair and considerate regime for the public on the one hand and 3330 consistent with <span class=SpellE>Halacha</span> on the other. On the 3331 surface, this is not a revolution or a deviation from the path of <span 3332 class=SpellE>Halacha</span>, but rather the adoption of the general lines of 3333 the Sanhedrin's rule. But beneath the surface, this is a real revolution 3334 coming To create an integrated governmental system in which the special 3335 balances between the governing bodies, such as the President of the Sanhedrin 3336 and the President of the State, maintain a clean and moral government.<span 3337 lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 3338 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3339 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 3340 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 3341 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 3342 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 3343 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3344 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 3345 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 3346 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 3347 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>The absurdity 3348 is that in a so-called "democratic" regime, the public ostensibly 3349 elects its leaders, but in the process also neutralizes them because of the 3350 leaders' desire to please public opinion. The absurdity reached its peak 3351 recently when the administration danced to the tune of media consultants and 3352 public opinion pollsters who managed to bring about a 180-degree change in 3353 the agenda of a prime minister, while exploiting his weakness and the 3354 deterioration of his status (2005, the decision to carry out the move known 3355 as "disengagement"). In general, we were quite disappointed with 3356 the performance of the politicians elected to the institutions and they did 3357 not particularly excel, except for their foul language, which gave politics a 3358 very bad name and drove good people away from it. The failure of the system 3359 ultimately comes at the expense of the public good. In the proposed system of 3360 a presidential-Sanhedrin regime in the State of Redemption, the condition for 3361 its existence is that Complete abolition of the culture of lying. Today this 3362 is not possible because there is no faith, no truth, and no integrity. If we 3363 succeed in establishing a faith-based society that is both intelligent and 3364 honest, this will be possible! Once there is agreement that for the good of 3365 all of us it is forbidden to lie and there are no exceptions, only then will 3366 it be possible to build a community as I propose on the basis of the Torah of 3367 Israel.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 3368 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3369 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

As stated, the immortal verse: "We will keep your tongue from 3381 evil and your lips from speaking deceit" (Psalm 34) will be a candle for 3382 our leadership and we will act according to it! This is the path that will 3383 lead the struggle to change the face of society, the state, and the entire world, 3384 to create a new society in which truth is a candle for its leadership. There 3385 are several other important things to be done related to a society that 3386 advocates true equality and freedom of thought: a free economy, reducing 3387 bureaucracy, a free press, human dignity, national service, and proper 3388 administration. Of course, respect and weight will also be given to social 3389 issues such as that the Jewish way knows, including reforms in the legal 3390 system and providing sympathetic treatment to the environment in which we 3391 live. This is not an election <span class=GramE>slogan,</span> this is the 3392 definition of the goal and ideal. The public will only be blessed if it is 3393 led by true leadership that stands the test of Torah, justice and wisdom. To 3394 this end, the public must be protected from all possible leadership failures, 3395 through unique review institutions and judicial bodies. This essay also 3396 emphasizes the importance that will be given to a legal system that is very 3397 efficient but also sensitive to the plight of those facing trial, and this 3398 according to the elementary principles of justice.

Unlike in past 3421 periods, the state must also give appropriate weight to economic issues, 3422 advanced industry, air pollution and sophisticated crime, and therefore the 3423 system of government is required to do much more. Judaism is not a religion 3424 that freezes on its own, the opposite is true - we have learned that Judaism
3425 adapted itself to the life of the period without violating the rules of <span 3426 class=SpellE>halakhah</span>. But we need to mobilize courageous leadership, 3427 on the one hand, and agreed upon, on the other, that can take responsibility 3428 for the future state, a leadership consisting of the leaders of the people, a 3429 Sanhedrin and a leader. Therefore, I am opening a discussion here on the 3430 subject of adapting the state's government to Jewish <span class=SpellE>halakhah</span>. 3431 If we postpone the discussion of redemption and the state to the future and 3432 expect everything to fall on us from the sky, we will not be able to meet the 3433 timetable that redemption will require of us. Because if we do not discuss it 3434 in a balanced way today, we will be forced to make rash decisions in 3435 stressful situations in the future. My practical awareness of the Jewish 3436 state began after a comprehensive study of the history of the Jewish people 3437 during the Second Temple period and the modern era, as well as studying 3438 topics in Jewish law and morality, and then chapters concerning the structure 3439 of society and the utopian government of the redemption period came to me.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 3440 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3441 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 3442 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 3443 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 3444 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 3445 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3446 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 3447 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 3448 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 3449 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>As mentioned, 3450 giving up on dealing with the questions that arise here today will cost us a 3451 high price later. The method presented here may perhaps provide relief to the 3452 sick of the current administration, but in fact it is intended for the 3453 utopian government of the redemption, and this is because far-reaching 3454 changes are required here in the social structure and philosophy of our 3455 lives, before the successful assimilation of Jewish laws. Today, society is 3456 built on the insight that "whoever is strong - decides" in which in 3457 order to advance in politics you must step on corpses and there is no chance 3458 for my method to exist in such a situation. If we become a society in which 3459 only people of truth and wisdom will be appreciated and promoted, if such a 3460 significant change is achieved, this is what will make it possible to realize 3461 the Jewish idea in practice. Therefore, all the solutions and proposals 3462 presented here will probably wait for the days of redemption. But in the 3463 meantime, we must work for the unity of the Jewish people around the Torah 3464 and the establishment of the faith, and at least raise the courageous 3465 questions for serious discussion in order to prepare ourselves for 3466 redemption. It is important that everyone understands what the people are 3467 marching toward, and knows how to define their goals and methods of action. 3468 When we are united under the Torah of Israel, all the steps to realize 3469 redemption will be clearer and will open the way to complete redemption. Then 3470 we will bring faith in the one God to the world and establish justice and 3471 world peace: "For from Zion shall go forth the <span class=GramE>Torah,</span> 3472 and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."<o:p></o:p></span></p> 3473 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3474 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 3475 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 3476 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 3477 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 3478 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3479 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

Many and those greater than me have already dealt with this 3485 in a very detailed and comprehensive manner. Therefore, I will briefly 3486 present a few of the issues relevant to our concern, mainly on the subject of 3487 Zionism. Zionism, in my view, is basically a secular movement that came to 3488 provide an alternative to the Jewish path. Indeed, it was this secular 3489 Zionism that fulfilled the Jewish redemption in the first stage (in the sense 3490 of establishing the Jewish state while making the exile a secondary factor in 3491 terms of its importance in the Jewish world), but this success came at the 3492 expense of the Jewish path. Observance of the commandments became irrelevant 3493 for practical Zionism. It must be admitted that secular Zionism was a correct 3494 and necessary step at the beginning of the path, but then when the initial 3495 fulfillment was achieved, it did not have the strength left to continue on to 3496 the second stage because along with the death of the commandments, faith in 3497 the righteousness of the path also died, and today there is hardly anything 3498 real left of that secular Zionism. This fact is expressed in symptoms of 3499 fatigue, weakness, and national weakness that have become a dominant factor 3500 in the lives of the country's non-religious citizens.<span lang=AR-SA 3501 dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 3502 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3503 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 3504 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 3505 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 3506 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 3507 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3508 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 3509 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 3510 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 3511 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>According to 3512 many, there is great doubt about the country's ability to withstand the long 3513 term. Talk of a second Holocaust is no longer taboo. Wars and despair 3514 contribute to foreign thoughts such as immigration or a desire to create a 3515 shared culture with the locals in the area, (initially these were the 3516 "Canaanite", later "human rights" of sorts) with the 3517 hidden intention of being accepted as part of them. The belief in peace has 3518 become a substitute for religion, in the understanding of the 3519 "progressives" that the other side wants peace no less than they 3520 do, if only they will give it what it wants. And for this supreme goal it is 3521 worth paying any price. Even if their hope is somewhat distorted in the face 3522 of the bitter reality, and their understanding that there is no Muslim 3523 equivalent to those aspirations, they do not abandon the faith. But the 3524 fanatical belief in peace harms the security of the state. Even within the 3525 state, the progressives will do everything for equality and democracy, even 3526 if it means supporting the state of all its citizens and eliminating the 3527 Jewish character of the state. Their influence is enormous because they 3528 completely control the media, the establishment, the legal system, and the 3529 leadership of the security apparatus, and thus manage to manipulate the path 3530 of society and government in Israel in a direction that aligns with their 3531 agenda.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 3532 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3533 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

The silent majority 3544 is unable to cope with the lie. They see the values ​​of 3545 democracy (what is it?) as a supreme value that is supposedly forbidden to 3546 contemplate. To understand how we got to this situation, we must return to 3547 the issue of education and determining the order of priorities in society. 3548 The educational failure in building national insight began at the beginning 3549 of Zionism, when the founders indeed came with many good intentions to realize 3550 orderly social ideas as part of the national revival movement, but the dream 3551 of a healthy and egalitarian socialist society, workers of the land without 3552 exploitation, faded very quickly along with other values. We lost Zionism 3553 along with sociality and cooperation when Jewish values ​​were 3554 abandoned in advance in favor of the latter. We were left with nothing.<span 3555 lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 3556 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3557 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 3558 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 3559 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 3560 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>The second, 3561 socialist <span class=SpellE>aliyah</span> (1904-1914), even if it greatly 3562 influenced the character of the state in the making, was not the only one in 3563 Zionist history. We must do historical justice and mention the <span 3564 class=SpellE>aliyahs</span> of the Hasidim in 1777, <span class=GramE>who</span> 3565 strengthened the connection between the Jews of the land and the Diaspora, 3566 and the disciples of the <span class=SpellE>Gra</span>, led by <span 3567 class=SpellE>Menachem</span> Mendel of <span class=SpellE>Shklov</span>, 3568 starting in 1808. There were also observant and well-known rabbis who called 3569 for <span class=SpellE>aliyah</span> to the land. Let us recall Rabbi Yehuda <span 3570 class=SpellE>Alkalai</span>, who in his book "<span class=SpellE>Minchat</span> 3571 Yehuda" (1840) called for <span class=SpellE>aliyah</span> to the Land 3572 of Israel and later wrote a detailed plan for the establishment of a Jewish state 3573 ("Goral <span class=SpellE>L'Ha</span>" 1857), and also Rabbi <span 3574 class=SpellE>Zvi</span> Hirsch <span class=SpellE>Kalischer</span>, who 3575 called for the return to Zion and the renewal of the work of sacrifice: 3576 "Come, let us strengthen ourselves for our people and for our country, 3577 and establish a vibrant society in which beloved enemies will unite" (<span 3578 class=SpellE>Shivat</span> Zion, 1862). However, it must be admitted that his 3579 influence on the <span class=SpellE>Haredim</span> was small: his supporters 3580 were accused by Orthodoxy of attempting to delay the end. <span class=SpellE>Aliyah</span> 3581 to the Land involved a certain violation of the <span class=SpellE>halakhic</span> 3582 command and a break from the community.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 3583 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3584 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 3585 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL 3586 style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font: 3587 major-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 3588 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3589 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

The 3597 strictest interpretation of the oaths was given by Rabbi Yitzchak de Leon (<span 3598 class=SpellE>WikiYishva</span>), who was one of the first. He interpreted the 3599 oath not to go to the wall, "that we will not rebel against the nations 3600 and go to conquer the land by force," and from this he concluded that 3601 there was no commandment to settle the land until the redemption, and this 3602 was due to the fear that, due to the difficulties of the exile, they would be 3603 able to make <span class=SpellE>aliyah</span> to the Land without the 3604 practical ability to build it and would lead to destruction and crisis rather 3605 than the beginning of the redemption.

For example, the "religious Zionist" sector 3624 of Torah-observant Zionists who called for <span class=SpellE>aliyah</span> 3625 and settling the land despite the <span class=SpellE>haredi</span> approach, 3626 consists of an extremely broad spectrum. Among them were those who dreamed of 3627 establishing an army and agriculture, years before the establishment of the 3628 state. The first "Zionist" according to the accepted definitions 3629 was the <span class=SpellE>haredi</span> Rabbi <span class=SpellE>Akiva</span> 3630 <span class=SpellE>Yosef</span> Schlesinger, who immigrated to the Land of 3631 Israel from Hungary in 1870, established the settlement body, and worked to 3632 establish an agricultural settlement in Hebron and later in Petah <span 3633 class=SpellE>Tikva</span>.

And as Rabbi 3697 Kook feared, over the years the members of the Zionist <span class=SpellE>Aliyah</span> 3698 lost their Jewish identity as a result of the emphasis on pragmatic values ​​such 3699 as work and education while neglecting Jewish education. However, in contrast 3700 to the ignorance of the current generation, the people of the <span 3701 class=SpellE>Aliyah</span> at least remembered A version of infancy from the 3702 Talmud in the Diaspora. It is therefore no wonder that some of the thinkers 3703 at the beginning of Zionism created a unique Jewish philosophy combined with 3704 revolutionary socialist ideas. As mentioned, because of the rebellion in 3705 religion and the disconnection in education, nothing remained of Judaism, and 3706 the fate of socialist fervor was no better among the grandchildren's 3707 generation, a fact that saddened many of the veterans. Let us return to the 3708 days of the first pioneers: the question of Jewish national identity occupied 3709 quite a bit of the first thinkers of the Zionist movements: A.D. Gordon saw 3710 the pioneers as stemming from Judaism, which he adopted in his own unique 3711 way. The new society he dreamed of was supposed to be, first and foremost, a 3712 Jewish society, drawing its inspiration from Jewish tradition, and thus he 3713 wrote: "Life will tell what Judaism is." And also: "The land 3714 cannot be redeemed without the revival of the people, and there is no revival 3715 of the people without the redemption of the land (...) Hebrew labor is the 3716 foundation of the national revival, just as it is the foundation of the 3717 redemption of the national land" (from His letter, 16 Sivan, 1912). <span 3718 class=SpellE>Berl</span> <span class=SpellE>Katznelson</span> wrote: 3719 "The Land of Israel Workers' Movement is a messianic movement, it urges 3720 the end, <span class=GramE>it</span> sees Zionism as part of human redemption 3721 and it sees socialism as flawed if there is no redemption for the Jewish 3722 people" [<span class=SpellE>Arachim</span> <span class=SpellE>Genuzim</span> 3723 125].<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 3724 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3725 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

Rabbi Y.L. 3735 <span class=SpellE>Hacohen</span> <span class=SpellE>Maimon</span> (Fishman) 3736 worked hard to promote the establishment of the Jewish state on the 3737 foundations of religion and according to the prophets of Israel, relying on 3738 the verse "And a redeemer will come to Zion and to turn away 3739 transgression in Jacob, says the Lord, and I will establish my covenant with 3740 them, says the Lord, My spirit that is upon you and My words that I have put 3741 in your mouth shall not depart from your mouth or from the mouth of your 3742 descendants, says the Lord, from now on and forevermore" (Isaiah 59:21). 3743 Rabbi <span class=SpellE>Maimon's</span> approach well expressed the 3744 aspiration of religious Zionism to establish a state based on <span 3745 class=SpellE>Halacha</span>. According to this approach of Rabbi <span 3746 class=SpellE>Maimon</span> and others, it is impossible to separate religion 3747 and state, between the commandments between man and his fellow man and the 3748 life of the state, everything was one association whose details were 3749 interconnected. <span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 3750 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3751 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 3752 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 3753 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 3754 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 3755 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3756 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 3757 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 3758 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 3759 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>This can also 3760 be learned from what is written in the Torah: "If you walk in my 3761 statutes... and eat your bread to the full and dwell securely in your land, 3762 and I will give peace in the land and you will lie down and no one will make 3763 you afraid... and the sword will not pass through your land, and you will 3764 pursue your enemies and fall before them by the sword" and then it 3765 continues: "And I will put my dwelling among you... and I will be your 3766 God and you will be my people" (Leviticus 22:3-11). From this we see 3767 that religion and the state both draw their strength from the same source - 3768 from the Torah of God. Similarly, thinker Prof. S.H. Bergman wrote: 3769 "...we should not be ashamed, and admit, Israeli history is not a 3770 secular history, but a religious metaphysical one, and Zionism is a result 3771 and conclusion from this history... The primary fact of our existence and our 3772 path in history and of our return to our land will not be understood with the 3773 tools of the sciences, even the most modern, of psychic and physical 3774 research, because it is a metaphysical-religious fact." The sanctity of 3775 the land is a fundamental principle of Judaism, and in view of this, a 3776 conflict arose more than once between the <span class=SpellE>halakha</span> 3777 and the constraints dictated by the political situation. Rabbi Kook was asked 3778 to sign a compromise proposal in 1930, according to which the Jews would 3779 recognize the ownership of the Western Wall by the Muslims and in return, the 3780 Muslims would recognize the right of the Jews to access the Western Wall. 3781 Because of the tense security situation, the leadership of the <span 3782 class=SpellE>Yishuv</span> was ready for this proposal, since there was a 3783 question of saving lives, but Rabbi Kook did not agree to sign the waiver and 3784 his response was "I cannot give up what God has given to the people of 3785 Israel," and he added: "God forbid! The people of Israel will not 3786 beg us to give up the Western Wall in its name! We have no right to do so. 3787 If, God forbid, we give up the Western Wall, God will not want to return it 3788 to us either."

This can be 3802 understood as a desire to be just, kind, to act impartially, even 3803 excessively, and to demand absolute justice. But sometimes, out of a desire 3804 to appear fair, we tend to self-alienate. A different opinion is forbidden to 3805 be expressed in their system. It seems that their greatest fear is that they 3806 will try to change their minds. However, in contrast to the apparent liberal 3807 side they present in public, in private they are tough and stand their ground 3808 resolutely. The phenomenon of killing everything that was sacred to us in the 3809 past has recently reached the Supreme Court. After the legal coup initiated 3810 by Judge Barak, the question of the uniqueness of the state in relation to 3811 the Jewish people is no longer self-evident. Dr. <span class=SpellE>Aviad</span> 3812 <span class=SpellE>Bakshi</span> wrote in this regard: "In the last 3813 twenty years, there has been a dramatic erosion of the weight that the 3814 Supreme Court gives to Israel's Jewish identity" (<span class=SpellE>Kohelet</span> 3815 Forum) (Zionist Strategy Institute, May 15, 2016), and from there came the 3816 demand to enact a nation-state law that would enshrine in law issues that 3817 were previously clear and agreed upon. The insight that the goal of Zionism 3818 is to establish a Jewish state is today in dispute. Giving preference to Jews 3819 over the "natives" in a country where equality is a supreme value 3820 is no longer acceptable in progressive circles. As stated, in the religious 3821 approach, Zionism is a means and not an end, as part of the redemption of the 3822 Jewish people. When the goal is the service of God in the Land of Israel. 3823 Therefore, all the fuss today about peace and our acceptance into the family 3824 of nations is based on a lie and a distortion of reality. True, the pursuit 3825 of peace is part of Judaism, but it is clear that the intention is peace 3826 between man and man and not the state's submission to its enemies. To the 3827 absurd extent, partial loss of Homeland is precisely the punishment promised 3828 in the Torah to Jews for violating the commandments.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 3829 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3830 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 3831 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 3832 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 3833 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 3834 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3835 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 3836 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><b><span style='font-size: 3837 14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 3838 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>8.

In fact, 3847 the continued existence of the Jewish people despite all the hardships is 3848 further proof of the existence of God. When serving God is the <span 3849 class=GramE>goal,</span> and everything else is the means. But in the context 3850 of the goal that is considered number one today – achieving peace with our 3851 Arab neighbors, there is no reason for illusions. Even if there is a miracle 3852 and we achieve “peace” with the enemy, we will not reach rest and 3853 inheritance. Historically, when the Jewish people compromised, both in the 3854 Torah and in the state, the results were disastrous for the people. Logically 3855 – it is clear and declared by the enemy that their goal is to destroy us, and 3856 their way to do this is to extort false agreements from us in order to 3857 overthrow us. And certainly, from a Jewish perspective, there is a
3858 fundamental contradiction between forced peace and maintaining allegiance to 3859 God. God is the only one who blesses with peace, and if we do not follow the 3860 path that God has shown us, there can be no peace by definition. The 3861 fulfillment of redemption will be possible when the entire nation unites in 3862 the path of the Torah.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 3863 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3864 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 3865 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 3866 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 3867 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 3868 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3869 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 3870 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 3871 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 3872 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>The Torah 3873 stands on the love of man, the way of the earth, and the fear of God. The 3874 truth must be told: He who truly loves God will also love man, who was 3875 created in His image and likeness, or at least will learn to respect and 3876 value every person. The path of hatred contradicts faith in God (here I must 3877 note that in my opinion, man is fundamentally good! What appears to us all as 3878 "evil" is nothing more than an expression of stupidity and 3879 intellectual and behavioral limitations). The theme of love for man is the 3880 second thread that runs through all of Israel's traditions and stems from the 3881 commandments and education, and the more we believe, the stronger the quality 3882 of love will be in our hearts. Maimonides also addresses the subject: 3883 "It is commanded upon each one of us to love each and every one of 3884 Israel as himself" (<span class=SpellE>Rambam</span>, <span 3885 class=SpellE>Hilchot</span> <span class=SpellE>De'ot</span>, <span 3886 class=GramE>Chapter</span> 6). Love and inner light reflect the interior of 3887 the soul to the purity of our souls and to love God. In fact, the 3888 commandments of loving one's fellow man and loving God are interconnected, 3889 and fulfilling one commandment in its entirety naturally leads to fulfilling 3890 the second commandment. This is how we must educate, and I am confident that 3891 this education will prove itself to the people and the state. We, as humans 3892 and certainly as Jews, are obligated to uphold the morality that actually 3893 constitutes the basis for serving God with love. In everyday life, this means 3894 self-control, not reaching a state of hatred and jealousy. And just as every 3895 private individual is required to respect others, so much the more so are 3896 public figures required to respect others, and it is appropriate for all 3897 representatives of the establishment to treat the public with respect and 3898 attention as if they were their closest family. Indeed, if by changing the 3899 atmosphere for the better we eradicate alienation and hatred, and improve the 3900 quality of life, the degree of trust between people will also be strengthened 3901 and people's willingness to contribute and support society will increase. 3902 Mutual responsibility is one of the foundations of Judaism, as it is said: "And 3903 they stumbled every man against his brother" (Leviticus 26:37). <span 3904 class=SpellE>Rashi</span> interprets "and they stumbled each other in 3905 their sins" as meaning "all Israel is responsible for each 3906 other."<o:p></o:p></span></p> 3907 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3908 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 3909 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 3910 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 3911 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 3912 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 3913 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

I see no contradiction between values ​​such as 3919 preserving human dignity and our duty to return to our land, or the need to 3920 harm and destroy the enemy. On the contrary, the Jewish liberation movement 3921 allows the Jewish people justice and the restoration of human dignity to an 3922 equal status with other peoples in the world. The return to Zion is a just 3923 historical process that the believing world accepts as the will of God, while 3924 the unbelieving world sees as a threat. On the other hand, people who claim 3925 to follow the path of Islam believe that Jewish existence contradicts the 3926 will of God, regardless of the reason. Their ambition is to impose Islam 3927 (Islamic Sharia law) on the entire world.

For our 3943 historical sins that led to our exile – the people paid a heavy price and yet 3944 the Jewish tradition was preserved and even strengthened thanks to the great 3945 men of Israel. It is no longer a novelty to state that the exile rebuilt the 3946 people of Israel. Although the idea of ​​redemption is no longer 3947 at the center of our being, people are fighting for redemption and we must 3948 believe that it will come every day. When we see the miracle of the establishment 3949 of the State of Israel, it is impossible to ignore that we are in the period 3950 of the beginning of redemption. Even if many still believe that the 3951 democratic Zionist state is the pinnacle and from their perspective, an 3952 attack on the values ​​of democracy as they see it is the 3953 beginning of the end. It is very difficult for them to cope and see the 3954 difficult reality clearly unless God, the Almighty, awakens and enlightens 3955 their eyes with power. Ostensibly, the Six-Day War was a rare moment of God's 3956 will to bring about the redemption of Israel. Unfortunately, we rejected with 3957 both hands the rare window of opportunity that followed the war, partly out 3958 of fear of what the Gentiles would say. There <span class=GramE>is no other 3959 people</span> in the world that can be said to have escaped by the skin of 3960 their teeth from real dangers to their existence and still does everything to 3961 please their haters.

On the other hand, the ultra-Orthodox Torah believers are 3964 so anxious about the continuity of the generation that they are unwilling to 3965 take any part in the Zionist state, and I am saddened but cannot criticize 3966 them for that. Even if they are right, the bottom line requires everyone to 3967 take part in saving the state for the redemption of Israel.

In my opinion, everyone has a part 3978 in redemption, even those who abandon tradition, as we saw in the revival of <span 3979 class=SpellE>Herzlian</span> or socialist Zionism. And in my opinion, there 3980 is also a kind of paradox here: at the moment of truth, precisely these 3981 people have the degree of conscious courage to act resolutely for the cause 3982 (see also Rabbi Kook's parable of the unleavened wine in the Light of God 3983 below). And indeed, the ways of supreme providence are wonderful. 3984 Incidentally, regarding divine providence, I also see the state's 3985 renunciation of the Temple Mount (and still, despite everything, I weep over 3986 its destruction) as God's will to prevent us from secularizing the holy 3987 place. Rabbi Yuval <span class=SpellE>Sherlow</span>, in his response to the 3988 issue of the Temple Mount now (see <span class=SpellE>Orot</span> <span 3989 class=SpellE>Shaul</span>), warns that in the current situation, the fear is 3990 that it will become a "sophisticated synagogue" instead of 3991 "like a city that is joined together." There are no shortcuts: 3992 first we are ready for faith, <span class=GramE>then</span> we can build the 3993 Temple. This is part of the healing process that the people must go through! 3994 Of course, when we reach the time of redemption, the people will be more 3995 ready, we will gather exiles and conquer the land, and then we will also be 3996 able to fulfill our duty on the Temple Mount even without having to reach the 3997 consent of the Gentiles. We need to free ourselves from the exile mentality 3998 and renew the covenant between the people of Israel, the Torah of Israel, and 3999 the Land of Israel. It turns out that only the traumatic "educational 4000 series" that God will put us through will enable the cognitive 4001 transformation and liberation from the shackles of exile.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 4002 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4003 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4004 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL 4005 style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font: 4006 major-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 4007 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4008 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4009 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4010 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4011 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>The criticism 4012 is of the leading leadership. Ministers and leaders are unable to present a 4013 minimal level of national dignity as can be expected, which greatly weakens 4014 the spirit of the generation and causes the atrophy of national challenges. 4015 The Jewish leadership itself is seriously ill with national degeneration and 4016 has lost the ability to implement Zionism in practice. The removal of ideals 4017 from our hearts has left a vacant space, and the place is occupied by a 4018 culture of hedonism and self-indulgence. However, in parallel with the spiritual 4019 decline in the general public, there is also a significant strengthening of 4020 the status of the religious public. The pioneering leadership is being taken 4021 by those wearing knitted <span class=SpellE>kippahs</span> who are engaged 4022 almost alone in the sacred work of settling parts of the country after it was 4023 abandoned by the veteran settlers from the socialist movements. Shamefully, 4024 institutional Zionism is actually engaged in encouraging Muslim settlement 4025 and inhibiting Jewish settlement. All of this is done in a despicable way of spreading 4026 false information and creating <span class=SpellE>delegitimization</span> for
4027 the entire religious public. On the other hand, <span class=SpellE>Yehezkel</span> 4028 <span class=SpellE>Dror</span> writes that instead of leading, our leadership 4029 is being led, lacking a backbone and showing no political maturity. 4030 "Memorandum to the Prime Minister: Building a State" (1989, p. 40). 4031 According to him, due to the lack of a state tradition, the Jewish people 4032 have indeed demonstrated their ability to survive as communities and a 4033 culture, but have failed in everything related to establishing a political 4034 and governmental framework due to the lack of social discipline habits among 4035 the people and the weakness of leaders.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 4036 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4037 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4038 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4039 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4040 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 4041 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4042 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4043 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4044 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4045 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>It is 4046 appropriate that the people of Israel should improve their path and make a 4047 full repentance even without the need for threats and severe punishments. But 4048 unfortunately, this is not the reality. We are probably walking the hard way, 4049 and punishments will come and we will suffer beatings because we are probably 4050 not <span class=GramE>so</span> wise and brilliant as to be able to 4051 understand basic things such as the reality of God and the need to obey His 4052 commandments. Apparently, this insight will have to come through the legs. 4053 Either way, for better or worse, we hope that we will be worthy of believing 4054 in God in preparation for redemption. There are many who believe that one 4055 must act by all means to realize redemption (redemption now), provided that 4056 it is done through faith and not through shortcuts. Otherwise, the public 4057 must be allowed to lead its own path, even if it is into the abyss, and when 4058 they realize their mistake and see the miracles of God, the great 4059 enlightenment of faith in God will come. We have seen, for example, the 4060 displays of heroism by the settlers of <span class=SpellE>Katif</span> on 4061 their land, or by the so-called "hilltop youth" who guard the land 4062 with devotion - and most of the people remain indifferent to their heroism, 4063 especially when they serve as human shields for the rest of the public in the 4064 country against terrorism. The obvious question is why <span class=GramE>are 4065 there</span> such heroes and do they not despair despite the scum and 4066 criminal guilt that is tried to be attached to them? They add points of merit 4067 to the people of Israel while the others subtract from it. At the end, God 4068 draws up a balance sheet and at the bottom line there is a price tag. We have 4069 seen this pattern since the sin of the spies. Redemption is a very complex 4070 process because in the end it will bring humanity to an understanding of the 4071 essence of creation. Therefore, its hearts require a tough transition of man 4072 in a challenging, revolutionary and conscious reality, and therefore its 4073 realization must go through the "deep plowing effect." They say 4074 about redemption "in its time we will remember it." If we are 4075 righteous - it will come immediately, we will not need the difficult experiences 4076 before it comes. But we are not, so it will come in its time, even if in a 4077 difficult way, because that is how we are - we are unable to believe unless 4078 it is forced upon us. But until redemption comes, we must be alert and 4079 cautious, learn and accept with understanding even difficult situations. So 4080 that when the time comes we will be ready to accept redemption in due time 4081 and with love.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 4082 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4083 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

This is the ultimate answer to the meaning of life and also the basis 4132 of Jewish faith. The meaning of the verse can be understood simply: Man was 4133 created (by God) in order to worship Him and recognize Him as the Supreme 4134 God. Hence, humans must identify with God and His act of creation, and to that 4135 end, they must at least keep His commandments. The verse that follows
4136 reinforces this view, "For He will bring all into judgment." 4137 Worshiping God is the purpose of creation and existence, and no one should 4138 doubt this. Thus, the purpose of this essay is to convey the message: serving 4139 God is the goal and the observance of the commandments by the people of 4140 Israel in the Land of Israel according to the Torah of Israel is the only way 4141 to accomplish it, and with God's help, who will bring us redemption, we will 4142 not be disappointed.

All the added value that man receives 4156 after his creation - a priceless value, stems from the touch of God's hand. 4157 God breathed a soul into our bodies and gave us life and even provided the 4158 physical and spiritual conditions for the continuation of human existence and 4159 even the moral basis for justifying human existence. The inheritance of the 4160 principles of the moral basis for man's existence, to all of God's creatures, 4161 is incumbent on man himself, and therefore all the laws and commandments were 4162 given to us, as well as the punishments if we violate this obligation. There 4163 are many things on the subject that are beyond our understanding, and faith 4164 bridges the gap. This explains to us the personal need for faith and even 4165 gives us real motivation to live according to the measure of grace and truth. 4166 The bottom line is that man is not above all. We must internalize the 4167 message: Man should not consider himself more than he is truly <span 4168 class=GramE>worth,</span> he is a small zero in front of God. Although man is 4169 a part of God, he must always humble himself in front of his Creator and 4170 certainly not place himself above other people. All people have the same 4171 basic value, but the baggage they have acquired, their humility and 4172 righteousness, boosts the special value of people. I believe that in every 4173 creature on the face of the universe, living or inanimate, there is a part of 4174 the spirit of God, its Creator, with creatures differing in their value and 4175 in the level of their souls.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 4176 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4177 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4178 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4179 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4180 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 4181 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4182 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4183 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4184 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4185 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>It would be 4186 fair to say that just as man is in the image of God, so too is man's inner 4187 image a shadow of that man's outer image, and therefore allows us to see the 4188 inner nature and purity of the soul, who is good and who is evil. From here 4189 we can develop the Torah of the Face, which teaches about the inner nature 4190 according to the outer. However, even if a person is born with negative 4191 potential, he is able to control his basic nature and successfully cope with 4192 the evil inclination, when this ability is imparted by education in the 4193 values ​​he has absorbed throughout his life. It is a pity that 4194 there are also those who are incapable of self-control, a condition that 4195 allows the inclination to control them. I would classify these as people on
4196 the lowest level. And on the highest level are the righteous - whose hearts 4197 are not at all given to the troubles of the inclination and whose entire 4198 thought is meritorious, which radiates an aura of holiness upon their 4199 surroundings. As stated, man was created in the image and likeness of God, 4200 and this creation was created with the aim of worshipping and admiring God and 4201 the act of creation. "In his image and likeness" means that his 4202 image The human being is the two-dimensional photograph of the real thing, 4203 the source of truth, which is a multidimensional being. God created the 4204 physical and spiritual skeleton according to which man was created, and God 4205 also fills it with content and values ​​in order to grant him 4206 physical life. However, in order to complete the granting of life, man 4207 himself is asked to contribute his part and realize as much as possible the 4208 divine potential inherent in him in the desire to understand and draw closer 4209 to God. The path to self-realization begins with the recognition of the 4210 creation of the world and the supremacy of God. After this stage, the 4211 self-realization will be clear that the people of Israel have a central part 4212 in global historical processes and the people of Israel serve as God's 4213 messenger in all those processes. This is also how we can see the exile of 4214 the people of Israel among the nations and the disasters and calamities that 4215 came to prepare the people of Israel to fulfill its role in spreading the 4216 principles of God's morality to the peoples of the world and sanctifying the 4217 name of heaven in many ways.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 4218 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4219 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4220 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4221 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4222 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 4223 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4224 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4225 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4226 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4227 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>It is 4228 impossible to deny the fact that the presence of the Jewish people among the nations 4229 has contributed greatly to the culture of morality and the strengthening of 4230 monotheism in the world.

This divine 4296 enlightenment will make it possible to re-establish the Jewish state, at the 4297 center of which will stand the Temple, and this will be established in the 4298 spirit of the prophets of Israel and there will be no more disasters and 4299 holocausts.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 4300 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4301 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4302 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4303 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4304 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 4305 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4306 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

This is the cardinal problem at hand at this moment. When will we 4339 know that the people are capable of accepting redemption? When the people 4340 prove that they place all their trust in God, personal security and national 4341 security. Security in the stronghold of Israel and its Redeemer is not the 4342 most prominent trait in the Zionist leadership, and hence the gap between the 4343 methods of leadership and the recognition of national aspirations according 4344 to the Torah. Uri <span class=SpellE>Zvi</span> Greenberg likens the leaders 4345 of the people to "peddlers" who close the gates of the land to 4346 redemption ("In the Ears of a Child I Will Tell" - 1930). In all 4347 cases where large parts of the Land of Israel were liberated, the leaders 4348 refused to see this as a sign from God, but treated the Holy Land as a 4349 deposit for the King of Peace. There is no doubt that disrespect for the 4350 holiness of the Land exacts from us - the Jewish people the most expensive 4351 possible price. The Yom Kippur War is an example of what happens to a 4352 complacent people who put all their trust in themselves and not in their God. 4353 At that time, the state was in great danger to its existence, and only 4354 miraculously managed to overcome all its enemies, but it failed to learn the 4355 message that God wants us to understand after the terrible war.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 4356 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4357 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4358 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4359 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4360 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 4361 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4362 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

The 4368 timing of the war on the holiest days for the Jewish people, Yom Kippur, 4369 which fell on the Sabbath, indicates the public desecration of the Sabbath by 4370 the people and as the main reason for God's wrath, who did not forgive the 4371 people and demands national atonement from the people, just as an individual 4372 atones for his sins. Towards the place on the Yom Kippur fast. Our national 4373 Yom Kippur was very painful, but this is only a sign and a warning to us that 4374 the price for desecrating the holy and desecrating the Sabbath will be very 4375 traumatic and painful.

This 4390 distinguishes them from the rest of the nations of the world and justifies 4391 their status as a holy people. This status was not created by the 4392 righteousness of the people, but by the virtue of the fathers who also made a 4393 covenant with God, a covenant that the people cannot annul because it binds 4394 the entire Jewish people for all generations. In light of being the chosen 4395 people of God, Israel must set an exemplary example and meet the highest 4396 standards, which is why God always takes great care with Israel. Israel must 4397 successfully meet all expectations and this will be the test in the eyes of 4398 the Gentiles of the power and existence of God. From this it is clear that 4399 the people of Israel do not have permission to abandon the path of their 4400 ancestors from generation to generation, and any attempt to evade the tasks 4401 entrusted to them brings many disasters that will continue until they return 4402 to the right path. I believe that everything God does in the world is not 4403 accidental and is done according to the rules of universal justice and that 4404 His actions are directed so that they will lead, through His messengers, to 4405 the spread of God's Torah in the world and the assimilation of faith among 4406 all people.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 4407 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4408 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4409 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4410 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4411 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 4412 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4413 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4414 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4415 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4416 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>The 4417 aspiration is for the people to draw closer to God. However, the process of 4418 drawing closer is a long and ongoing process that is not achieved in a single
4419 leap, but rather through the hard work of many generations, and is contingent 4420 on improving the moral standard of all humanity. It is possible that some of 4421 God's actions are beyond human comprehension and questions of faith will 4422 arise for many, but a look back at all the developments in world history 4423 shows a clear and logical line leading to a very defined goal, and any 4424 deviation from it could have been disastrous for Judaism and human society as 4425 a whole. Why do the good people give their lives for the sanctification of 4426 God? The answer stems from the question, after all, our soldiers on the 4427 border and the innocent citizens who gave their lives to the Creator do not 4428 pay for sins they committed or did not commit. They atone with their righteousness 4429 for the sins of the entire people.

The people of Israel must know that there is a 4443 price that everyone pays for blasphemy. Incidentally, the pain in one form or 4444 another will also be felt by those who have already managed to break away 4445 from Judaism. Those who have faith that is independent of anything will not 4446 break or fall into crises following disasters and private or national pain. 4447 Disasters and calamities are mentioned several times in the sources, such as 4448 in <span class=SpellE>Parashat</span> Ki <span class=SpellE>Tavo</span> (see 4449 above) and also in <span class=SpellE>Parashat</span> <span class=SpellE>Behukoti</span>: 4450 "And you will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies 4451 will devour you. And those who remain of you will be consumed in their 4452 iniquity in the lands of your enemies, and even in the iniquities of their 4453 fathers they will be consumed... Or then their uncircumcised heart will be 4454 subdued, then they will desire their iniquity... And even this, while they 4455 are in the land of your enemies, neither will they be redeemed nor will they 4456 be redeemed, to destroy them, to break my covenant with them, for I am the Lord 4457 your God" (Leviticus 26:38-44). This strengthens the thesis that the 4458 Holocaust, for example, is part of the punishment that continues throughout 4459 the generations that the Lord imposed on us for our sins even before the 4460 destruction of the Second Temple. The exile and the return are mentioned 4461 again in the words of Moses in <span class=SpellE>Parashat</span> <span 4462 class=SpellE>Ve'techanan</span>: "And the Lord will scatter you among 4463 the nations... and you will seek the Lord your God from there, and you will 4464 find... and you will return to the Lord your God" (Deuteronomy 4:27-30). 4465 However, as compensation for all the suffering, redemption will follow the 4466 exile. Also The prophecy of Ezekiel (20:35) "And I will bring you out 4467 from among the peoples ... and bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, 4468 and there I will judge you face to face" explains why the punishment for 4469 the people is so severe, because God, blessed be He, judges Himself first of 4470 all by imposing a severe punishment on the people of Israel. Unfortunately, 4471 there is no easier way to save the people of Israel in the current situation. 4472 The decline and difficulties that the people are going through are part of 4473 the path to redemption.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 4474 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4475 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

The physical 4489 peace that will come to some of the nation will diminish their souls and 4490 their aspiration for ideals, and in turn the spirit will decline and sink. 4491 Until a storm comes and turns into a revolution and it will be seen that 4492 Israel's strength is in God, blessed be He, and in His Torah (<span 4493 class=SpellE>Orot</span> 44). According to the words of the Rabbi, three 4494 stages must be distinguished in the course of the redemption of the people of 4495 Israel: the first stage is the awakening of the nation, which on the one hand 4496 will have ideals and a structure, and on the other hand is dependent on 4497 rebellion against the values ​​of Judaism and the Torah of 4498 Israel. After the initial success, the second stage will come, the decline of 4499 ideals, followed by the third stage. Then there will be a spiritual 4500 revolution and a return to the faith and Torah of Israel. Later (<span 4501 class=SpellE>Orot</span> 45:11) the Rabbi also refers to the important role 4502 of those who are called "wicked" (the secular) in the survival and 4503 resurrection of the people: "Just as it is impossible to make wine 4504 without yeast, so it is impossible to make a world without the wicked. And 4505 just as the yeast makes the wine ferment and preserve it, so the <span 4506 class=GramE>coarse</span> will of the wicked causes existence and standing 4507 for the influence of all life."

Redemption, as we 4522 learn, is God's commitment to the people of Israel. God knows that the people 4523 of Israel will abandon His ways and follow other gods. God even describes in 4524 horrific detail the punishment of exile and suffering in the lands of our 4525 exile, "And the sound of a trumpet pursued them, and they fled from the 4526 sword, and fell, and there was none to pursue them" (Leviticus 26). It 4527 is evident that these punishments are in fact self-punishment because the 4528 people are part of God. In fact, the first part of the prophecy has already 4529 been fulfilled, the land is desolate and the people have been exiled. The 4530 enemy's land has devoured the Jewish people, and those who remain in exile 4531 have paid for the iniquity of their ancestors who sinned while still in the 4532 Land of Israel. Now we are at the stage of "And I will remember to them 4533 the covenant of the firstborn" (Leviticus 26:45). The covenant of the 4534 firstborn is redemption, the covenant of the firstborn is the promise, <span 4535 class=GramE>the</span> covenant of the firstborn is the eternal destiny of 4536 the people of Israel: to spread the name of God among the nations.

They are the 4549 human element that pushes for redemption. On the one hand, if they do not 4550 have the divine spark, with their great power they can hinder many good 4551 people, but if they are blessed and have the divine spark, they will be the 4552 first to lead us all to redemption. We saw this recently in the struggle 4553 against what is called "the disengagement." They were blessed to 4554 lead the struggle, and the women's prayer moved and shaped the consciousness 4555 of all of us. And the author of "The Precious Vessel" has already 4556 stated in the <span class=SpellE>Parsha</span> of the Spies that the people 4557 (men) would hate the land and say, "We were given a head and were 4558 carried away from Egypt" (Numbers 14:4). But the women would love the 4559 land and say (the daughters of <span class=SpellE>Zelophehad</span>) 4560 "Give us a possession" (Numbers 27:4), and therefore the Blessed 4561 One said, "It would be better to send women who love the land, because 4562 they will not speak against it." The central place of women is not 4563 absent from the teachings of the <span class=SpellE>Lubavitcher</span> <span 4564 class=SpellE>Rebbe</span>: the woman does not serve as an "auxiliary 4565 helper" in the sense of a substitute for him, but rather is the 4566 "principle of the house" - the house is the sphere of her 4567 government. The great Torah scholars and the righteous are known to have 4568 honored their wives more than themselves. On the other hand, one must also be 4569 careful to preserve their honor in all respects and in all institutions. 4570 These things are also true of the authorities who serve in the sanctuary. 4571 Rabbi Kook addresses this type of problem and says that "it is forbidden 4572 to have a fear of heaven that suppresses a person's natural morality, because 4573 then it is not a pure fear of heaven." Such a "fear of heaven" 4574 is an improper fear (end of <span class=SpellE>Orot</span> <span 4575 class=SpellE>Hakodesh</span> 3, Rosh <span class=SpellE>Devar</span> 23-27). 4576 In my opinion, it is important that the entire public learn to internalize 4577 this statement even in matters that are seemingly taboo, that are forbidden 4578 to be touched upon.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 4579 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4580 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4581 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4582 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4583 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 4584 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4585 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4586 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><b><span style='font-size: 4587 14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4588 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>10.

The idea of ​​"redemption 4597 now," redemption at any cost, especially when we ignore the spiritual 4598 state of the people, has no real basis and is therefore not helpful. Even if 4599 there is a real desire for redemption, for the building of the Temple, in the 4600 hope that this will bring the people back to repentance, we must first 4601 examine whether these shortcuts are wise and where they may lead us. We have 4602 already seen in <span class=SpellE>Parashat</span> <span class=SpellE>Shelah</span>, 4603 the <span class=SpellE>Parashat</span> <span class=SpellE>Ma'apilim</span>, 4604 after the people recognized the great sin of the spies and the punishment of 4605 Preventing entry into the land for 40 years, he tried to somehow correct the 4606 sin by "going up now" to the Land of Israel. Moses warns them not 4607 to do this, "Do not go up, for the Lord is not among you, and you will 4608 not be defeated before your enemies" (Numbers' {<span class=SpellE>Bamidbar</span>} 4609 14 42). Indeed, the people, who were not mentally and spiritually prepared 4610 for the <span class=SpellE>Aliyah</span> to the Land of Israel, failed and 4611 paid a heavy price. It turns out that they had to wait 40 years in the desert 4612 to become strong and strengthened in faith. Similarly, the two thousand years 4613 of exile were also like this, during which most of our Jewish assets 4614 developed and our great sages arose who built Judaism as it is today. Jews 4615 have always aspired to go up to the Land of Israel and many did so in a 4616 practical way, but still it was carried out little by little without 4617 eliminating Diaspora Jewry, and I say that is how it should have been. In the 4618 last hundred years, immigration has been stronger, mainly by Jews who broke 4619 away from the Torah of their ancestors, and this is the great paradox: it was 4620 precisely their breakaway that made possible the accelerated immigration that 4621 ultimately led to the establishment of the State of Israel, which absorbed 4622 the remnants of the disappearing European Diaspora Jewry. Therefore, here 4623 too, we cannot lament the course of the Minister of History, despite the cost 4624 of creating a new people cut off from the Torah. It turns out that Zionism 4625 also needed religious rebels in order to develop and reach where it has 4626 reached. They are the ones who established the state and prepared the ground 4627 for redemption, a role that came to them from heaven even if they did not 4628 really intend it, because redemption is a very complex process. The ways of 4629 God are hidden.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 4630 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4631 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4632 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL 4633 style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font: 4634 major-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 4635 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4636 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4637 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4638 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4639 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>And this is 4640 the place to clarify: Redemption is first and foremost a spiritual, conscious 4641 redemption, hence as long as our souls remain enslaved (and it does not 4642 matter in what way: prejudices or addiction to hatred, etc.), the liberation 4643 of the homeland, or the conquest of the Temple Mount, has no redemptive 4644 meaning. It is a fact that has already been We conquered the Temple Mount but
4645 didn't know what to do with it. I assume, of course, that there are reasons 4646 from above why the redemption must be delayed as long as necessary. First, 4647 mentally, we live in exile: the state is not a Jewish state but "the 4648 state of all its citizens," the law is not Jewish, the state's leaders 4649 act according to dictates from outside, and the leading idea of ​​the 4650 state is to resemble the countries of the world and adopt their culture. The 4651 delay in redemption also stems from the demand to complete the cup of torment 4652 of two thousand years of exile. These are the final payments for the sins of 4653 our ancestors as written in the Torah, even if we don't always understand 4654 where it comes from. The delay in redemption is necessary because the people 4655 are still spiritually immature and unaware of the huge process taking place 4656 today. It is impossible to clothe ourselves in a redemptive state without 4657 being able to implement it spiritually. Ostensibly, as long as we are in this 4658 swamp of ignorance, stupidity, and hatred, the situation is not expected to 4659 change on its own.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 4660 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4661 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4662 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4663 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4664 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 4665 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4666 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4667 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4668 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4669 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>It is also 4670 necessary to understand why God is not raising up all the Jews of the 4671 Diaspora now. As painful as it may be to admit this, the Jews of the Diaspora 4672 (still) have a vital role to play in serving as backup for the people who 4673 reside in Zion after the War of Redemption. Until then, there is no point, 4674 and we must not deceive ourselves, because we can shorten the course of our 4675 suffering without making true repentance. We need to go through the current 4676 stage in any case. It is part of our healing, part of the training course 4677 that we must go through. Canceling these stages through the actions of 4678 "illegal immigrants" is completely out of the question and could 4679 lead to our downfall. Ostensibly, one can talk about establishing a state of 4680 redemption by force, while requiring citizens to observe the laws of the Torah, 4681 but that will not work. Not only because those who are disconnected from 4682 Judaism will rebel because they will not accept the religion in any way, even 4683 if they are told that it is life or death, but also the ultra-Orthodox Jews 4684 will not accept it at all, and therefore such a state will not be able to 4685 survive. Without faith in the Torah and the way of the land, such a state 4686 will immediately disintegrate in strife and basic disunity. The world is 4687 still unaware of the global role reserved for the Jewish people, and the Gentiles 4688 are still our enemies and many in the region, but everything is temporary. 4689 When the day comes and we are freed from exile, physical exile and spiritual 4690 exile, we will also be able to enter the spiritual land. When the redemption 4691 comes, everyone will see it clearly and without hesitation. This does not 4692 mean that nothing can be done today to bring the redemption closer. On the 4693 contrary, faith must be strengthened among the people in terms of "and 4694 whoever saves one soul in Israel is as if he had saved the whole world." 4695 Education is certainly a lifesaver and the most important thing that can be 4696 contributed to today.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 4697 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4698 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

The 4714 Temple, which was built on the mountain, is located, according to tradition, 4715 at the point of the initial creation - the "foundation stone". Our 4716 national situation is linked to the status of the Temple Mount. Today, a 4717 mosque stands in the place of the Temple, and Muslims practice the custom of 4718 rulers, entering the Holy of Holies without fear, which expresses Israel's 4719 national humiliation. A condition for redemption is the rebuilding of the 4720 Temple and the restoration of the work of the priests. Almost a third of the 4721 commandments cannot be fulfilled today because they are related to the Land 4722 of Israel and the work of the Temple. The building of the Temple is one of 4723 the principles of Judaism and it brings the people of Israel closer to their 4724 God. Today, we have a sovereign state, and this fact only rubs salt in our 4725 wounds - that at this very time we are still not free and independent to 4726 return to the Temple Mount. It has already been said: "It is time for 4727 you to sit in your houses, shut up, while this House lies in ruins" 4728 (Haggai 1). It seems absurd when, on the one hand, we are at the beginning of 4729 redemption, but on the other hand, Israel is cut off from the Jewish 4730 religion, from the Temple Mount, and has <span class=GramE>neither exaltation</span> 4731 of God nor a vision of redemption in its heart. But these facts only strengthen 4732 our feeling that the time is near. Certainly, at the time of the redemption, 4733 the structure that the Gentiles erected in place of the Temple would no 4734 longer be relevant and would not delay the construction of the Temple. During 4735 the War of Independence, we refrained from liberating the Old City. They 4736 feared that control of the Mount would also bring about the demand to rebuild 4737 the Temple. Therefore, Ben-Gurion made sure to commit to Abdullah in advance 4738 that he would retain control of the Old City and the Temple Mount, and the 4739 commander of Jerusalem, <span class=SpellE>Shaltiel</span>, carried out the 4740 policy. During the Six-Day War, Dayan also rushed to transfer possession of 4741 the Temple Mount to the <span class=SpellE>Waqf</span> for the same reasons. 4742 In their opinion, Jewish rule over the Temple Mount would be interpreted as a 4743 provocation against Muslims and worse - encouraging the redemption and the 4744 kingdom of Israel - this became the source of their nightmares. Since then, 4745 the institutional policy has not changed. In this respect, we are still in 4746 exile - in both the physical and spiritual sense.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 4747 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4748 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4749 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL 4750 style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font: 4751 major-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 4752 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4753 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

First, appoint the king, and only after he has delivered us from 4763 all our enemies should the house of choice be built. However, according to 4764 Maimonides, the proof of who the Messianic King is depends precisely on the 4765 building of the Temple: "The Messianic King is destined to stand, and 4766 restore the kingdom of the House of David to its former state, to the first 4767 government, and build the Temple and gather the outcasts of Israel" and 4768 further, "If he does and succeeds, and conquers all the nations around 4769 him, and builds a Temple in its place, and gathers the outcasts of Israel - 4770 then this is certainly the Messiah" (Laws of Kings, Chapter 11). 4771 Maimonides suggests that it will not be possible to build the Temple before 4772 the coming of the Messiah, and alternatively, we can say that the <span 4773 class=GramE>leader</span> who conquers the nations, gathers the outcasts of 4774 Israel, and builds the Temple - is in fact the Messiah! The <span 4775 class=SpellE>Lubavitcher</span> <span class=SpellE>Rebbe</span> also states 4776 that only the righteous Messiah can build the Temple. Does this arrangement 4777 of postponing the construction of the Temple until completion delay the 4778 offering of sacrifices? The answer is no. One can begin with the sacrifices 4779 even before the construction of the Temple, because the commandment to build 4780 the Temple is a special commandment in addition to the commandment to offer 4781 sacrifices. And how will the Temple be built? Some say that the Temple came 4782 down perfect from heaven, and some say that it will be built by man. There is 4783 an opinion that there is no contradiction between the two: in contrast to the 4784 Jerusalem of the lower world, there is the Jerusalem of the upper world. Only 4785 after the spiritual building of the upper world is built, can we also build 4786 the Temple for which we are commanded. In the prophecy of Ezekiel, man is 4787 charged with building the Temple: "And you, son of man, declare to the 4788 children of Israel the Temple... make it known to them and write in their sight, 4789 and they shall make it" (Ezekiel 43:10-13). Similarly, Rabbi <span 4790 class=SpellE>Zvi</span> <span class=SpellE>Kalisher</span> in his book 4791 "Desires Zion" proves that man must build the Temple. According to 4792 the <span class=SpellE>Rambam</span>, for the purpose of building the Temple, 4793 it is permissible to ascend the Temple Mount even in impurity (<span 4794 class=SpellE>Tuma'a</span>) (<span class=SpellE>Hilkot</span> Bet <span 4795 class=SpellE>Habehira</span> 7:23).<o:p></o:p></span></p> 4796 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4797 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4798 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4799 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4800 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 4801 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4802 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4803 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><b><span style='font-size: 4804 14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4805 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>12.

Faith should be 4816 strong and exist under all conditions, even in difficult times of apparent 4817 concealment, and not just in times of prosperity and peace. The relationship 4818 between man and his Creator is a relationship of fear and love, fear of a 4819 supreme judge who examines the kidneys and hearts, and love for the one who 4820 does justice and mercy. In my view, everything stands in judgment and every 4821 event has a meaning (even if it is not always clear to us), therefore we must 4822 accept the unsympathetic reality with understanding. Difficult situations 4823 such as the Holocaust - one of the most difficult and humiliating events that 4824 befell the Jewish people, are part of God's judgment, as written in the Torah 4825 and as prophesied by the prophets of Israel, and we should not blame the 4826 victims or the people for this, they are not guilty. The victims of the 4827 Holocaust did not die for their sins, but for the sins of their ancestors. 4828 This is part of a historical process that began during the destruction of the 4829 Temple and its roots have existed since the exodus from Egypt. Faith in God 4830 is acquired through study and education and is strengthened with the 4831 acquisition of the ability to independently examine and analyze the human-God 4832 relationship. Ultimately, all human beings are commanded to believe in God, 4833 the Almighty, and part of the role of the Jewish people is to instill faith 4834 in the Creator of the world to all nations.

This is the time and place 4877 to discuss the form of government that we will need to establish. It is no 4878 secret that Judaism has never claimed to be "democratic." This 4879 system is certainly not possible in a place where we are trying to unite 4880 world Jewry under the umbrella of the Creator's work in the same place that 4881 the Creator has instilled for us. This is not the place to attack the 4882 so-called "democratic" system, which may be the least evil in the 4883 polarized situation in which we find ourselves today, but on the other hand 4884 it is an opening for deception, lies, and personal and governmental 4885 corruption, not to mention the court that appoints itself and gives itself 4886 The authority to invalidate any law with Jewish ties on the grounds of 4887 discrimination is forbidden in the face of equality for all peoples. I have 4888 learned that Judaism advocates the selection of leadership by the 4889 intellectuals who lead the people, and this is an important point in the days 4890 of redemption when society will be a Jewish society that believes in the 4891 Creator of the world as the basis for the existence of the state. I argue 4892 that a believing society is also a better society that can accommodate the 4893 Jewish form of government in the most beneficial way. Of course, I do not 4894 delude myself that all those who claim to be Torah-observant are also <span 4895 class=GramE>believers,</span> this is certainly a huge educational challenge. 4896 It is possible that at the beginning of redemption many of the people will 4897 lack a background in Judaism, and therefore, precisely because of this, we 4898 must ensure strong leadership on the one hand, which will serve as an 4899 educational example on the other.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 4900 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4901 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4902 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4903 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4904 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 4905 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4906 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4907 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4908 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4909 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>The issue of 4910 the leader and the government has been discussed many times in the writings 4911 of the Sages and can serve as a source of inspiration even today for the 4912 issue of how to choose a leader. The Sages discussed the idea of ​​a 4913 king from the house of David during the days of the Redemption, but on the 4914 other hand, they also accept the monarchy with a half-hearted heart, as 4915 inferior and not as an ideal solution. Regarding the appointment of a king, 4916 there is interpretive disagreement as to whether it is a right or an 4917 obligation, but in general the spirit of the Torah sees the appointment of a 4918 king as an insult to Israel. In the Torah, the people are commanded to 4919 "set over you a king whom the Lord your God will choose... only he shall 4920 not multiply horses for him, nor shall he bring the people back from Egypt... 4921 nor shall he multiply wives for him" (Deuteronomy 17:15-17). Rabbi 4922 Yehuda sees this as a commandment of "set over you a king," since 4923 the people are commanded that the fear of the king be upon them (Sanhedrin 4924 20:2). On the other hand, Rabbi <span class=SpellE>Nehorai</span> disagrees 4925 and believes that this is not a commandment, since it is said that you shall 4926 set over you a king only if the people ask for a king like all the nations, 4927 and <span class=SpellE>Rashi</span> also believes the same, since the king's 4928 law according to the prophet Samuel was to take the people as slaves and to multiply 4929 horses and maidservants, so that the very king's <span class=SpellE>parsha</span> 4930 in Samuel was spoken as a punishment for Israel's resentment. "Whom the 4931 Lord your God chooses" - means that the people have no involvement in 4932 choosing the king, but there are several options for choosing the king: one 4933 is when the will of the Lord is revealed to us and the king is chosen through 4934 the prophets, and the other is by the people's choice, but then there is the 4935 fear that without explicit divine guidance, a person who is not versed in the 4936 Torah of the Lord will ascend to the throne and will continue to lead the 4937 people astray. According to the sources, such a person is called a 4938 "foreigner" because he is a stranger and estranged from the people 4939 and their values. Maimonides rules (<span class=SpellE>Hilchot</span> <span 4940 class=SpellE>Melachim</span> 81) that there is a commandment to appoint a 4941 king, and this is to gather <span class=GramE>all our</span> nation and lead 4942 us to settle the land. Rabbi Yehuda says that three commandments were 4943 commanded to Israel upon their entry into the land: to appoint a king for
4944 them, to exterminate the seed of <span class=SpellE>Amalek</span>, and to 4945 build them a house of choice (Sanhedrin 20 b). <o:p></o:p></span></p> 4946 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4947 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4948 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4949 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4950 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 4951 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4952 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4953 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4954 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4955 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>From the 4956 summary of the words of the Sages (<span class=SpellE>Chazal</span>), it can 4957 be understood that kingship is a desirable matter, but one must be careful in 4958 everything related to the king's law. Of course, the king must be a faithful 4959 observant of the commandments, and his role is to strengthen the status of 4960 the Torah in Israel, "and he shall sit on the throne of his kingdom and 4961 write for him this Mishnah of the Torah in a book before the <span 4962 class=SpellE>Levitical</span> priests" (Numbers 17:18). If so, the ideal 4963 king is the one chosen by God, the Holy One, or according to God's system 4964 according to the laws of the Torah. However, if we continue in this 4965 direction, it is clear that the kingship is not passed from father to son, 4966 but is given to the appropriate person who is chosen by the body that is 4967 morally capable of appointing the leader who meets the criteria mentioned 4968 above. From the sources, we find that the king receives the title of 4969 president: "And my servant David was president over them" (Ezekiel 4970 34:24). In light of all this, it is possible to grant the leader the title of 4971 president and not king and grant him powers accordingly. Although close to 4972 the monarchy system, it is definitely not a monarchy because the Sanhedrin 4973 elects and judges the president. The bodies that will oversee and elect the 4974 president are the Sanhedrin and indirectly also the Council of the Sages of 4975 Israel. Rabbi Kook also reinforces this point, according to which the consent 4976 of the Sanhedrin to the appointment of the president is necessary. On the 4977 surface, it seems that the work here offers an original approach to choosing 4978 the leader and the method of government, but a review of our sources shows 4979 that this method is the one recommended by the Sages of Israel. And God 4980 willing, this method will be accepted by all of Israel in the future, 4981 according to what is detailed below.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 4982 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4983 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4984 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4985 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4986 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 4987 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4988 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4989 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><b><span style='font-size: 4990 14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4991 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>14. 4992 Institutions of Government - The President, the Council and the Sanhedrin<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> 4993 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 4994 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 4995 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 4996 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 4997 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>The Jewish 4998 regime will be based on a triangular governmental structure. The three 4999 vertices of the triangle will be the President (King), the Council of the 5000 Elders of Israel and the Sanhedrin (the Knesset of Israel). The Sanhedrin 5001 will be headed by the President of the Sanhedrin (as opposed to the President 5002 of the State). The parallelism of powers will be built on a balance in which 5003 everyone will be connected and dependent on each other (see also Figure 1). 5004 The advantage of this system is that on the one hand there is no absolute 5005 single government here, but rather there are balances between the components 5006 of the establishment. On the other hand, this will not be an anarchist 5007 democracy of the masses. In fact, it will be an elite governmental framework 5008 that is accepted by the people and its representatives, even if they are not 5009 directly elected, will be obliged to account for their actions. There will be 5010 a clear division of powers between these three bodies, and each will have a 5011 specific area of ​​responsibility as will be detailed below. The 5012 government will be headed by the President. The second body is the members of 5013 the Council of Elders, who are 12 of the greatest sages of Israel. The third 5014 body is the Sanhedrin of 71. The president will have the sole executive 5015 authority in the government (except in those cases in which the president of 5016 the Sanhedrin has supreme authority). The powers of the President will be 5017 limited only by the President of the Sanhedrin. The Sanhedrin will also be 5018 the body that will supervise the presidency, as will be detailed below. The 5019 Council of the Elders of Israel (hereinafter referred to as the Council) is 5020 the body that elects the members of the Sanhedrin. The members of the Council
5021 will continue the tradition of ordination, as an essential part of their 5022 duties. However, in addition, their duties will also include criticizing the 5023 conduct of the Sanhedrin and, in very extreme cases, even intervening and 5024 acting to terminate the duties of a Sanhedrin member. The President will have 5025 a formal, although indirect, influence in determining the candidates for the 5026 position of the Council of the Elders of Israel, who will also guide the 5027 people in the principles of morality.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 5028 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 5029 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 5030 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 5031 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 5032 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 5033 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 5034 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 5035 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 5036 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 5037 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>To this end, 5038 the President will be assisted by an advisory committee that he will select 5039 and which will bring before him the candidates to serve as members of the 5040 Council.

The 5078 committee will select the members of the council who will serve for an 5079 unlimited period of time. Membership in the council may also be for short 5080 periods, all depending on the circumstances. The appointment process by the
5081 committee will always be approved with the president's signature. The members 5082 of the council will be the spiritual elite in Israel, and by virtue of their 5083 role in the council, they will have a great influence on the state through 5084 the selection and authorization of members of the Sanhedrin. The council will 5085 appoint the members of the Sanhedrin through a complex selection process that 5086 will reflect compliance with the criteria set by the council. The process 5087 will begin after the council formulates an appropriate list of candidates 5088 (possibly with the help of advisors outside the council). These candidates 5089 must have a broad education - Torah and general, and in addition, they must 5090 be recognized as innocent and honest people. All of this is important in 5091 light of their complex role, which includes supervising the president on the 5092 one hand and ruling on <span class=SpellE>halacha</span> on the other. 5093 Approval of the candidacy of a member of the Sanhedrin will require the 5094 consent of Seven council members (out of 12).

Furthermore: the council will also elect Sanhedrin 5102 members from among the substitutes, who will be temporarily assigned to the 5103 Sanhedrin according to the decision of the president of the Sanhedrin.

This matter is essential to enable the Sanhedrin president to 5123 fulfill his additional role of acting president and in charge of all 5124 oversight of the institution of the presidency. The Sanhedrin president will 5125 summon the president to hear from him a review of the situation in any field. 5126 Such reviews will be given periodically, on the order of 6-12 months, with 5127 the Sanhedrin president authorized to invite additional listeners for the 5128 same review.

The king has the authority to 5135 deviate from the ordinary rules of <span class=SpellE>Halacha</span>, which 5136 are very strict about numerous and difficult-to-obtain evidence, in order to 5137 "rectify the world as the hour requires." Hence, according to the 5138 method of <span class=SpellE>Rabbeinu</span> <span class=SpellE>Nissim</span> 5139 (Haran) and others, the existence of the judicial system of the President 5140 (the King) allows the judicial system of the Sanhedrin to adhere only to pure 5141 <span class=SpellE>halacha</span> [Rabbi <span class=SpellE>Haim</span> <span 5142 class=SpellE>Navon</span>]. In my view, the President of the Sanhedrin is the 5143 one who will rule in the event of a dispute over powers, but if the President 5144 does not agree with his ruling, he can ask the Council of Elders to be the 5145 arbitrators in the dispute. The Sanhedrin can of course express verbal 5146 criticism of the President's actions, but never interfere in his decisions, 5147 certainly not before receiving the approval of the President of the 5148 Sanhedrin, and even then the only step they can take is to depose the 5149 President. When is it obligatory for the King (the President) to address the 5150 Sanhedrin? A typical case according to the sources is before going to war for 5151 the state.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 5152 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 5153 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 5154 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 5155 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 5156 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 5157 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 5158 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 5159 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 5160 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 5161 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>A comprehensive 5162 study on the subject of the renewal of the Sanhedrin in our time was done by 5163 Rabbi <span class=SpellE>Yosef</span> Carmel: The Sanhedrin in particular and 5164 the judicial system in general have a sacred status as those who represent 5165 the Divine Presence. According to the sources, the power of the head of the 5166 Sanhedrin is limited to issues related to the laws of the Elder of <span 5167 class=SpellE>Mamre</span>, and temporarily, as a temporary order, to issues 5168 related to strengthening religious life. The king's power is greater than 5169 that of the judge in that he obligates every person and his powers are in all 5170 matters related to maintaining the order of government and security. In a 5171 situation where there is no king, the head of the Sanhedrin is the one who 5172 should receive the powers of the king [Rabbi <span class=SpellE>Shaul</span> 5173 Israeli]. The question of what issues the members of the Sanhedrin are 5174 authorized to deal with arose from the early days of the Mishnah, as some 5175 members of the Sanhedrin believed that one should deal only with Torah 5176 without public activity and others went in the direction of dealing with 5177 public needs in parallel with studying Torah.

The president's term of office is for life until the age of 5219 70. Beyond this age, the president's term of office will be extended by an 5220 additional 5 years depending on his performance. This system has many 5221 advantages: First, the president will not dictate his course precisely based 5222 on populist considerations, which is an important issue, since the current 5223 state was destroyed as a result of using irrelevant considerations in order 5224 to attract more voters, until it reached the point of absurdity when a leader 5225 changed his beliefs in which he believed and on which he was elected, because 5226 that is what the publicists and opinion pollsters said. Considerations that 5227 stem mainly from the desire to be popular with the masses have no place in a 5228 system that claims to operate according to absolute justice. The phenomenon 5229 of populism was not born in a democratic regime; in the early days of the 5230 monarchy, Saul justified his mercy on <span class=SpellE>Agag</span> the 5231 Amalekite by his desire to satisfy the will of the masses, "because I 5232 feared the people and listened to their voice" (Samuel A 15:24).

It is 5248 important that the Sanhedrin always have its finger on the pulse of what is 5249 going on in the president's house, and if necessary, they will help him and 5250 guide him on issues that they believe require correction. At the age of 70, 5251 the president will undergo a re-evaluation by the Sanhedrin. Although the 5252 Sanhedrin has the technical option of considering continuing the presidency 5253 even before retirement age, in accordance with expectations of the leader, 5254 this option will only be put to a practical test when the president reaches 5255 the age of 70.

The election of 5272 the president will be carried out by the Sanhedrin alone and not through 5273 general elections. Naturally, the people do not have the ability to make a 5274 correct distinction between a hypocrite and a righteous person, unless all 5275 the people are righteous and prophets. According to Maimonides, "A king 5276 is not appointed first except by a court of seventy elders and by a 5277 prophet" (<span class=SpellE>Hilchot</span> <span class=SpellE>Melachim</span>, 5278 Kings 1:3). The need for a prophet is also appropriate for the selection of 5279 the first president who will lead the redemption, and then the conditions 5280 will mature for a more orderly and secure framework that will be based on the 5281 Sanhedrin and elders. The leader, of course, must be accepted by the people 5282 (the Sanhedrin) and cannot take power by force, as it is said: "But if 5283 one man rises up and rules over Israel by force, Israel is not obligated to 5284 listen to him" (<span class=SpellE>Hilchot</span> <span class=SpellE>Melachim</span>, 5285 Kings 3:8). <o:p></o:p></span></p> 5286 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 5287 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 5288 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 5289 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 5290 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 5291 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 5292 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 5293 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 5294 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 5295 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>Presidential 5296 candidates must present themselves or be proposed by others, with the 5297 selection process taking place internally in the Sanhedrin. When the 5298 Sanhedrin faces a candidate who is not qualified, it is authorized to shorten 5299 the selection process and appoint him directly. Every Jew will be authorized 5300 to propose himself or others as a candidate for the position of president. 5301 This is if he is suitable for the position according to basic conditions. 5302 This includes general and Torah education, high intelligence, deep fear of 5303 God, excellent performance, and high motivation to uphold the law and 5304 justice. None of the above qualities have fixed values ​​or 5305 standardized tests. The Sanhedrin will listen and be impressed, and will give 5306 weight to each quality according to its understanding. In the first stage, an 5307 initial screening of those who meet the above requirements will begin by 5308 members of the Sanhedrin and their representatives. In the second stage, the 5309 candidates will present their "I Believe" before the Sanhedrin. 5310 Upon completion of this stage, each Sanhedrin member will have the right to 5311 publicly question the candidate about his path and intentions before he is 5312 brought to a final selection by the members of the Sanhedrin. Several 5313 candidates will be selected for advancement to the next stage, and from among 5314 them, the one and only one will be chosen for the position of president, and 5315 he will be the candidate who receives the greatest support among the members 5316 of the Sanhedrin. The appointment will be completed and will take effect 5317 after re-approval by the members of the Sanhedrin by an absolute majority of 5318 41. The appointment ceremony will be conducted by the President of the 5319 Sanhedrin in a religious format, while ensuring respect and dignity. Even 5320 after being elected, the president does not disengage from his commitment to 5321 the Sanhedrin. The president must work in cooperation with the Sanhedrin by 5322 providing regular reports to the Sanhedrin and consulting with the president 5323 of the Sanhedrin when necessary. The president, when sitting on the throne of 5324 his kingdom, will act according to the way of the Torah, and so that he does 5325 not forget this even for a moment, it was commanded: "And write for him
5326 this Mishnah of the Torah on a scroll before the priests and the 5327 Levites" (Deuteronomy 17:18). It is important that he does not forget where 5328 he came from and where he is going. It is important that he knows that all 5329 his functions derive their authority from the Torah and the way of the Torah 5330 is his way. However, the Sanhedrin will also continue to check and monitor 5331 the president's performance and examine his steps in practice. They must 5332 ensure that the president does not abandon the national interests of the 5333 Jewish people. In order to validate the status of the Sanhedrin, the 5334 president must report on his policy to the members of the Sanhedrin on regular 5335 dates or at the request of the Sanhedrin through the president of The 5336 Sanhedrin. <span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 5337 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 5338 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 5339 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 5340 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 5341 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 5342 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 5343 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 5344 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 5345 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 5346 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>The Sanhedrin 5347 can make comments to the president and demand corrections, but despite all 5348 this, the president is not obligated to formally approve his steps and 5349 policies. The only way for the Sanhedrin to impose its will on the president 5350 is through the process of electing a new president, an act that, if carried 5351 out, will most likely be done after deep and responsible thought. In order to 5352 approve such a move, at least 46 members of the Sanhedrin will be required to 5353 approve it. Maimonides lists the rights of the king (<span class=SpellE>Hilchot</span> 5354 <span class=SpellE>Melachim</span>, Kings 3:8-10): a. Permission to kill with 5355 the sword a rebel in the kingdom. b. Permission to kill anyone who 5356 disrespects the kingdom (the institution of the presidency) and c: Authority 5357 to kill murderers who exploit the law in order to evade punishment. Hence, 5358 there is an approach that the king's authority is not fixed and is based on 5359 Torah law, and its entire essence is based on the authority given to it by 5360 the people.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 5361 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 5362 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 5363 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 5364 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 5365 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 5366 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 5367 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 5368 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 5369 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 5370 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>Although the 5371 president's powers will be very broad, the law of the monarchy will not be 5372 fully applicable to him. He will not be able to bequeath the presidency to 5373 his sons and he will have to answer for the failures of his officials. The 5374 president must choose the best and most suitable for public positions and 5375 will have complete freedom in distributing executive powers among his people. 5376 It can be assumed that each president will have a different approach 5377 regarding the delegation of powers and management style, but in all cases of 5378 failure - it is the president who will be asked to answer. If the president 5379 does not take good control of his team and his kingdom - then the Sanhedrin 5380 must warn him and remove him from office. The success of the appointments of 5381 his team of assistants will in fact determine the success of the president. 5382 Criteria for selecting a team of assistants and public servants must be based 5383 on standards of honesty, wisdom, and of course observance of the commandments, 5384 but they must also be tested and pass various tests, objective and 5385 subjective, using methods such as <span class=SpellE>psychotechnical</span> 5386 tests, handwriting analysis, analysis of the candidate's facial features 5387 (there is such a thing!), and more. The president must ensure that all public 5388 servants behave in a civilized manner towards the public. This will be done
5389 using internal and external control mechanisms and not necessarily 5390 investigative committees. Of course, the president will be able to fulfill 5391 his duties with honor only when the team of assistants and officials he 5392 appoints is good.

Man's entire intention is only to do good deeds. But man is not 5412 always intelligent enough to distinguish between good and evil, and also to 5413 understand that a good deed to others is good for <span class=GramE>himself</span>, 5414 and a bad deed to others is first and foremost bad for himself. So sometimes 5415 he harms others, violates the laws of the Torah and the state, damages 5416 property or harms the state itself. In an orderly society, there are courts 5417 to judge the sinner, and he of course needs to be punished so that next time 5418 he will be more careful with his actions. In an unordered society, each 5419 person judges for himself and we enter a cycle of blood feuds on the one 5420 hand, or victims and helplessness with no one to ask or answer their cries, 5421 on the other. God has given us, humans, <span class=GramE>the</span> law to 5422 use our power to create an orderly and just society. However, if we evade 5423 this obligation, the law will return to God, but then God will be forced to 5424 judge society as a whole. And by the way, everyone bears the punishment, the 5425 good and the bad without distinction. The responsibility of the entire 5426 society for the crimes of the individual when there is no appropriate 5427 response, and the punishment of the entire public that bears the 5428 responsibility, is the meaning of divine justice. Here we are trying to 5429 answer the question of why a righteous person is bad for him and a wicked 5430 person is good for him. Or why the best people pay the most expensive price. 5431 The answer is terrifyingly simple and yet also just and understandable: 5432 because only then will the entire public feel the punishment most painfully, 5433 along with the divine message. The Jewish ideal is that there will be no need 5434 for laws at all. Everyone should know the law and everyone should be careful 5435 about the Torah and the way of life. Perhaps there will be a few exceptions 5436 who will sin and then the court system will issue its judgment in order to 5437 warn and deter. To point out the injustice and denounce Sin. But of course, 5438 the most important thing is good education, which will have a positive effect 5439 on human and social awareness and will leave the courts empty of justice. The 5440 public itself will also have to exert internal social pressure against the 5441 phenomenon of crime. The leaders and judges are also part of the public and 5442 should serve as an example and role model for the people who see them and 5443 follow in their footsteps.

The Torah 5523 instructs us in the section on Laws to obey the law: "And you shall do 5524 according to the word that they shall tell you from that place which the Lord 5525 will choose, and you shall be careful to do according to all that they shall 5526 tell you. According to the Torah that they shall tell you and according to the 5527 law that they shall tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside from the 5528 word that they shall tell you to the right or to the left" (Deuteronomy 5529 17:10-11). Similarly, each and every one must be obedient to the public and 5530 its representatives, but at the same time it is clear to everyone that any 5531 instruction that contradicts the path of the Torah should be ignored. True, 5532 obedience to the law is not an absolute value, blind to reality, but 5533 obedience to the law is a fundamental value in human society that must be 5534 adopted in any system of government, democratic or non-democratic, and 5535 especially so during the time of redemption. And again, subject to the laws 5536 of the Torah. Loyalty to the law should be applied by everyone, including the 5537 president and his ministers. However, upholding the law does not exempt from 5538 assuming responsibility in judgment, especially if harm is caused to the 5539 public as a result of mental blindness. The implementation of absolute 5540 justice requires the judicial system to have courage in exercising 5541 independent judgment in unconventional decisions.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 5542 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 5543 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 5544 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 5545 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 5546 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 5547 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 5548 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 5549 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 5550 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 5551 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>Here lies the 5552 great difference between the law of the state (the State of Israel) and the 5553 law of the Torah - Hebrew law. According to Hebrew law, a person whose guilt 5554 is in doubt is entitled. The existence of such a doubt will be determined 5555 according to that person's history, according to the list of rights or, to 5556 distinguish it, the list of convictions that preceded the case. It is 5557 certainly possible that someone who allegedly committed one offense but is
5558 known for his righteousness and many <span class=GramE>rights,</span> will 5559 have the benefit of the doubt and not be convicted. If the offenses are 5560 repeated, that is a different story. Unfortunately, in contrast, Israeli law 5561 does not take into account the past rights of a defendant. On the other hand, 5562 in Israeli law there are those who are guilty of bribery or any other offense 5563 who manage to escape prosecution with the help of connections and money. In 5564 law. And if the perpetrator is also a member of a criminal organization, there 5565 is a good chance that the law enforcement system today will not make an 5566 effort towards him for fear of getting involved. There are also known cases 5567 in which the prosecution system keeps an eye on a rebellious politician, for 5568 example, and then, according to them, it is a simple matter to pin some 5569 offense on him in order to humiliate or delay him. The system of here and 5570 there in law enforcement in which those who receive immunity for irrelevant 5571 considerations such as the fear of representatives of the authorities 5572 supporting the perpetrators or because of political kinship and other 5573 connections is immoral and will not be acceptable at all after the reforms in 5574 the legal system of the Jewish state are implemented.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 5575 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 5576 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 5577 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 5578 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 5579 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 5580 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 5581 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 5582 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 5583 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 5584 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>Flexibility 5585 in penal law is an existing fact. In many cases, for example, when there is a 5586 priority for bringing peace at home and outside the home, as we found in the 5587 case of a pervert, "even the name of God was erased in order to make 5588 peace between a man and his wife." Justice should be part of the inner 5589 nature of each and every one of us, but we know that this is not a sufficient 5590 condition for achieving ideal justice. First of all, proper education and 5591 legal procedures are needed, in that order. I am also an enthusiastic 5592 supporter of strengthening citizen involvement in the actions of the 5593 establishment and monitoring the integrity of the system. To this end, the 5594 legal system must allow for true feedback. Giving the public the opportunity 5595 to express its grievances will lead the system to treat citizens more fairly. 5596 Steps in this direction will increase the public's trust in the establishment 5597 and contribute to the success of the system. It seems that representatives of 5598 the establishment are interested in suppressing the little citizen, including 5599 in the field of justice and law. Sometimes phenomena such as a lack of 5600 empathy and paranoia between people cause internal destruction of society 5601 when one does not care about the other. This is expressed in a complete 5602 disconnect between different parts of the population, indifference to the 5603 sorrow of the other, in cruel and inconsiderate strikes on the one hand, and 5604 in abject neglect of workers and pensioners on the other (and contrary to 5605 what might be expected - there is no connection between the cases). The legal 5606 system should have something to say on the subject and should say its word 5607 clearly, the legal system has a responsibility to compromise and find common 5608 ground between the different groups, to establish peace. Unfortunately, this 5609 is not what the legal system is transmitting today, an atmosphere of 5610 alienation that only exacerbates the problems that Israeli society suffers 5611 from. This is just part of the neglect of justice and the law in the State of 5612 <span class=GramE>Israel,</span> and because of this, society as a whole is 5613 paying a heavy price.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 5614 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 5615 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

But the citizen must 5632 also play his part for society with loyalty and dedication. The above 5633 interests are reflected in the existence of a legal system that maintains a 5634 balance in the mutual obligations of each party. The assurance that there 5635 really is a system that is ready to demand justice, or alternatively a system 5636 that takes the lead in the war on crime without bias, is very important for 5637 maintaining national security. The citizen relies on this. Therefore, the 5638 first thing to do if you want to gain trust in the system is to start with 5639 reforming the legal system. To this end, it is clear that it is not enough to 5640 issue just <span class=GramE>verdicts,</span> they must be issued in a timely 5641 manner without torture. After all, it is a well-known rule that there is no 5642 justice where the trial drags on for too long. Delays in the trial show contempt 5643 for the public and a breakdown in the system. Contrary to what one might 5644 think, I do not blame the current legal system for being solely responsible 5645 for the slowness because it is a combination of many factors, including a 5646 lack of budget and standards, an outdated law, and only in the end a problem 5647 with the work ethic and quality of judges, without referring to the legal 5648 system itself.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 5649 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 5650 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 5651 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 5652 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 5653 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>All of this 5654 requires a fundamental overhaul: breaking the system The old system and the 5655 construction of a completely different new system in its place. The starting 5656 point here is that the current administration will cease to exist following 5657 the events that will come in the redemption, and therefore there is no real 5658 need to fight against the old legal system, although an appropriate 5659 alternative needs to be prepared. The legal system needs to be structured so 5660 that it can meet all the demands in real time in the face of the danger of 5661 harm to the individual or society. It is so important that it is better to 5662 starve and lower the standard of living as long as the high standards of 5663 justice and law are not harmed. The legal system is no less important than 5664 education and security, as it is the number one educational factor, and if it 5665 fails, it will also drag the education and security systems with it. Logic 5666 says that the integrity of any social system is contingent on the trust it 5667 manages to gain from the citizen. The success of the legal system in 5668 successfully meeting its tasks will determine the character of the state and 5669 its future. My hope is that on the way to the redemption state, we will not 5670 fail in disputes regarding the character of the legal system and the path 5671 proposed here will be accepted in principle, otherwise it will be too late to 5672 correct and the price will be high. For all of us. Therefore, it is important 5673 that the leadership itself proves its loyalty to the law and justice until 5674 this becomes the norm so that the public knows that justice and the law are 5675 above all else. On the practical level, and this is good for any form of 5676 government, everything necessary must be invested in establishing an 5677 enlightened and high-level legal system.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 5678 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 5679 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

Whereas in the Jewish state, general 5785 law will be the secondary law and will constitute a collection of regulations 5786 and directives that the government will publish and it does not contradict 5787 Jewish law.

5790 his government (as opposed to the laws of <span class=SpellE>halakhah</span> 5791 under the authority of the Sanhedrin). The president will enact laws and 5792 regulations in the executive areas related to the activities of his 5793 government and if there is a concern about a conflict with Jewish law, it is 5794 advisable for the president to consult with the president of the Sanhedrin, 5795 who can also intervene on his own initiative.

All criminal matters 5818 will be heard in courts of the investigation committees (the peace). Civil 5819 disputes will be heard in a court appointed by the Small Sanhedrin. In all 5820 cases, it is important that the judges demonstrate multidisciplinary 5821 understanding and education that will allow them to question witnesses 5822 professionally, invite and understand expert opinions, and have the courage 5823 to rule according to their feelings after thoroughly examining and 5824 researching all parties, because this is what distinguishes the Jewish legal 5825 system, in which judges actively investigate, compared to the accepted system 5826 in which the judge allows the litigants' powerful to manipulate the trial to 5827 their own ends.

The first step is to do everything possible to speed up 5889 judicial proceedings that will meet reasonable deadlines. My understanding is 5890 that the right way is first to spare no effort in establishing proper courts 5891 that will allow trials to be held without delays. And in addition, and this 5892 is the main thing, to establish the investigative court (investigation teams) 5893 that will focus on criminal offenses, for example, in economic matters, 5894 breaches of trust and corruption. In addition, violent offenses handled by 5895 the police will be brought to trial before three judges from the 5896 investigation teams when the police provide the investigation material to the 5897 court. A legal hearing that lasts a long time, the effect of the punishment 5898 dissipates. Bypassing bureaucratic barriers does not necessarily come at the 5899 expense of justice. On the contrary, justice only benefits if the 5900 investigation and trial are conducted at a 24/6 pace. It is important that 5901 the sentence be seen and made as close as possible to the time the offense 5902 was committed. It should be noted that this system is somewhat reminiscent of 5903 the French system where there is an Investigating judge, but here it grants 5904 much more authority to the investigation teams. The investigating court will 5905 be made up of experts who will be trained for a judicial role and to conduct 5906 complex investigations. The training system for the investigating judges will 5907 include academic studies, practical training in the field of investigations, 5908 and of course specialization in laws and Jewish law. The courts of the Small 5909 Sanhedrin will of course be composed of qualified judges who have the 5910 authority to adjudicate property laws, Family and more. Of course, I expect 5911 all judges on the investigation committees and the district court to be 5912 observant of Torah and <span class=SpellE>mitzvot</span>.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 5913 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 5914 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

The 5927 investigation teams, on the other hand, will focus on corruption offenses: 5928 corruption in the public and private service, fraud, extortion, <span 5929 class=GramE>breach</span> of trust, embezzlement, bribery, tax offenses, 5930 perversion of justice, incitement, false advertising, waste of public funds, 5931 discrimination, unlawful abuse of authority, and more.

The silence of 5975 witnesses and interrogators will be imputed to the duty of the silent 5976 witness/interrogated. Public figures must adhere to the purity of their 5977 morals. It is enough if it is proven that they acted improperly and without a 5978 satisfactory explanation, even if they did not take money into their pockets, 5979 they will be considered to have betrayed the trust given to them and will be 5980 convicted of at least breach of trust. In any case, public figures <span 5981 class=GramE>who</span> remain silent or do not tell the truth will not be 5982 able to continue in their positions. In serious offenses, even close family 5983 members will have to testify. And when the justification changes - it is more 5984 appropriate to use sanctions and imprisonment to extract information.

In Jewish 6108 ("Hebrew") law, justice is a central part of the work of God. 6109 Hence, the legal weight tends to tighten the conditions for conviction 6110 (compared to civil law), along with strict adherence to the duty of judges to 6111 uphold the principles of justice and holiness of the Jewish people. A person 6112 will not be convicted based on his confession alone and at least 2 witnesses 6113 are required to bring about a conviction. This actually works in the favor of 6114 the accused who will not be convicted when there is doubt or when their 6115 confession was extracted by fraud or force.

In the event that there is no conflict with Hebrew law, civil laws 6134 and practices also receive a <span class=SpellE>halachic</span> seal in what 6135 is called the "public regulations" in the context of the 6136 integration of the legal systems. And I quote Justice <span class=SpellE>Menachem</span> 6137 <span class=SpellE>Alon</span>: "This foundation on the basis of the 6138 king's law and the principle of the 'public regulations' is undoubtedly - 6139 from the perspective of the world of <span class=SpellE>halachah</span> - the 6140 classic way to ever in the future bring about a unification and integration 6141 between Israeli law and historical Hebrew law."

It is more important for the public 6168 to know that for every offense, they are put on trial and immediately see the 6169 results, rather than the question of how severe the penalties should be and 6170 what constitutes a deterrent punishment. Personally, I do not believe in 6171 deterrence, criminals almost always return to crime. It has more to do with education 6172 and mental disorders that limit their ability to choose freely to the point 6173 that they are unaware of the consequences of their actions. But most 6174 importantly: if the public knew that there is a law and a judge, they would 6175 not remain indifferent to crime, and would weed out those people who have 6176 adopted a criminal norm for themselves. It is known that the length of the 6177 trial leads to a loss of trust and many do not even seek help from the 6178 system. In special cases, it is better to work around the clock and even ask 6179 the judges to make a special effort to complete the trial on time, so that 6180 justice can be seen by all.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 6181 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 6182 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

Does their presence in criminal trials add to 6192 justice or detract from it? The answer is probably made up of several 6193 factors, starting with the financial resources of the person on trial, <span 6194 class=GramE>the</span> extensive connections of the lawyer, the manipulations 6195 he manages to create, and the ability of the judge standing before him to 6196 hold the reins of justice. In criminal cases, it must be taken into account 6197 that the system will be completely different from what is practiced today: 6198 there is a judicial investigation committee, not one person who investigates 6199 and decides to take shortcuts for himself, and there is a team leader who is 6200 supposed to know the case in question well, and who is effectively 6201 supervised, and the verdict is given by several judges, not one. In my 6202 opinion, this is better than the situation today, where the weak, those who 6203 were not blessed with deep pockets or, alternatively, did not steal money and 6204 take bribes to finance their expensive defense, are precisely the ones who do 6205 not get justice in the current legal system. In addition, the damage that 6206 lawyers cause to the justice system can be enormous, mainly because of the 6207 trials that drag on endlessly, the judges are fed up and they compromise on 6208 the law and justice, and there are difficult cases that are closed without a 6209 trace. In contrast, in civil lawsuits or criminal appeals, there is a point in 6210 hiring lawyers, especially if the issue is complicated and complex, but here 6211 at least the judge can also use experts on his behalf. The main problem 6212 remains in the length of criminal lawsuits, therefore, at least in the first <span 6213 class=GramE>instance,</span> the lawyers should be kept away. Moreover, 6214 according to Jewish law, one is not in a hurry to convict, and even if 6215 convicts do not send to long imprisonment and prefer a framework of 6216 corrective education. I emphasize again: in the judge-investigator system, 6217 there is more involvement and less distance, and one can expect the judges to 6218 behave with excessive fairness while understanding the side of the accused. 6219 But if, God forbid, there is a complaint about miscarriages of justice, these 6220 will be examined by a number of additional review mechanisms as will be 6221 detailed below, and in any case, in the higher courts (district court and 6222 above) there will be the possibility of hiring a lawyer. I expect that 6223 everyone: the litigants and the lawyers will cooperate with the justice 6224 system to the extent possible in order to reach the truth, and any act 6225 intended to prevent the truth from being reached is a criminal offense. 6226 Maimonides (<span class=SpellE>Hilkot</span> Sanhedrin 21 <span class=SpellE>Halacha</span> 6227 1) recommends that the court is permitted to help the litigant who does not 6228 know how to present his arguments and to give him relief and guidance in 6229 order to try and understand. At the same time, the judge must frequently 6230 interrogate the witnesses in order to reach the truth (<span class=SpellE>Hilkot</span> 6231 <span class=SpellE>Edut</span> Chapter 1 <span class=SpellE>Halacha</span> 6232 4). The substance of the case must be clear to the parties (unless there are 6233 weighty considerations to prevent this) and the court must allow the 6234 litigants to say whatever is on their minds but to direct their words to the 6235 issues relevant to the hearing.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 6236 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 6237 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

For example, a review of historical documents 6248 from the city of <span class=SpellE>Krk</span> shows that in the Middle Ages, 6249 regulations were enacted requiring that each trial in a lower court be concluded 6250 in no more than three days, while in the middle and high courts in up to nine 6251 days, and if not, the judges would pay out of their own pockets for the 6252 community. For balance, it is necessary to moderate the speed in determining 6253 the verdict. Rabbi Yehuda the Hasid says that a judge should not rule on the 6254 same day even if the law is clear to him, because there is always a second 6255 thought or a delayed internal revelation and it is appropriate to wait a day 6256 or several days. According to the main tenets of Torah law, a judge can even 6257 judge alone, but in most cases, it was customary in Jewish law to judge in 6258 threes (<span class=SpellE>Shulchan</span> <span class=SpellE>Aruch</span> <span 6259 class=SpellE>Choshen</span> <span class=SpellE>Mishpat</span>, Section 3, 6260 Section 2). In order to achieve fair judicial conditions, it is necessary to 6261 prevent from the outset the establishment of a court in which there is no 6262 harmony among its members, which could introduce foreign considerations into 6263 the court. The Talmud states that two judges who hate each other do not sit 6264 together. In the law (Sanhedrin 29, p. 1), and in my opinion, in such a case, 6265 the team of judges should be carefully examined, as at least one of them 6266 cannot meet the requirements for moral purity, which casts a stain on the 6267 entire system. In any case, it should be ensured that the judges act in the <span 6268 class=GramE>most fair</span> manner towards the litigants, and this is within 6269 the authority of the supervisor of judges. What qualities are required of a 6270 judge? The judge must see himself as God's messenger in the trial, and any 6271 evasion of the mission is a betrayal of God. The most important quality in a 6272 judge is the fear of God and faith. Without faith, the judge is liable to 6273 fail in contempt and haughtiness of heart, as we found in Jehoshaphat: 6274 "For you shall not judge for man, but for the Lord... Thus shall you do 6275 in the fear of the Lord, with faith and with a perfect heart" 6276 (Chronicles b 19:69). From this verse we can learn that the judges themselves 6277 are put to the test and must not neglect their great responsibility, since 6278 the Lord watches over them at all times.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 6279 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 6280 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 6281 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 6282 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 6283 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 6284 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 6285 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 6286 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 6287 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 6288 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>According to the 6289 accepted practice in Jewish law, the verdict given by the court is anonymous 6290 and is signed by all three without specifying which of the court members <span 6291 class=GramE>were the acquitters</span> and which were the <span class=SpellE>convicters</span>. 6292 In any case, it should be examined whether this method is preferable or 6293 whether the minority judge should be allowed to write his opinion separately 6294 from the verdict.

I believe that by the time of the reform, we will have the 6357 technological means to record the minutes of the legal hearing in a 6358 computerized manner so that this issue will not be a stumbling block to the 6359 implementation of the reform. Everything necessary must be invested in order 6360 to shorten the duration of the trial to the most reasonable period of time. I 6361 should note in a side note that the resources allocated to improving the 6362 judicial system will ultimately return as profit to the national GNP as a 6363 result of reducing the waste of working days resulting from an inefficient 6364 judicial system. The state will finance special legal advisors who will 6365 provide litigants in civil and criminal cases with any assistance that will make 6366 it easier for them to independently manage their claims. A lack of
6367 professional manpower, neither in investigations, nor in trial, nor in 6368 supervision, must not be the cause of legal torture. If necessary, then it is 6369 permissible to employ one team for every 1000 residents, and it is better to 6370 be careful in choosing the judges. Probably at the time of the redemption we 6371 will not need such a high number of courts, if at all.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 6372 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 6373 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 6374 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 6375 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 6376 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 6377 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 6378 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 6379 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 6380 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 6381 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>To summarize 6382 the issue, the investigation teams will also serve as magistrates' courts, 6383 and thus there is a chance that the hearings will not continue until they 6384 lose all meaning.

On the other 6411 hand, in my opinion, certain weight should also be given to feelings of anger 6412 and revenge on the part of the victims. The victims deserve to see that the 6413 offender pays freely or in any other form. In addition, they deserve 6414 compensation from the offender according to his ability. It is important that 6415 the punishment be carried out quickly and decisively. It is like striking the 6416 iron while it is still hot. On the other hand, the offender needs to be 6417 rehabilitated. Although he is a sinner, he is probably himself a victim of an 6418 unsupportive environment and he also deserves a real chance to be 6419 rehabilitated.

Imprisonment, or by its 6428 ancient name, "the punishment of the prison" (a small cell), is 6429 mentioned as a means of punishment during the Talmud. If someone is beaten 6430 and beaten, the court puts him in a prison, and they feed him with his skin 6431 until his stomach bursts (Sanhedrin 9.5). From this we learn that one should 6432 avoid depriving a person of his freedom, at least for the first offense, and 6433 only when there is no other choice is one placed in detention. Usually, one 6434 is arrested for a serious crime that carries the death penalty or other 6435 corporal punishment. Rabbi Hirsch addressed the issue of imprisonment (see <span 6436 class=SpellE>Elishai</span> ben Yitzhak) referring to the sources (Exodus 6437 21:6): "The punishments of imprisonment for all the hope and moral 6438 corruption that reside behind the walls of the prison, for all the grief and 6439 sighing that they bring upon the prisoner's wife and children - have no place 6440 in the Torah of God.

Under the Reform system, there may not be a direct connection 6491 since there will not be imprisonment by definition, but rather educational 6492 rehabilitation, and this is scheduled for two years in most cases. Of course, 6493 a financial fine will also be imposed for the benefit of the injured party or 6494 for the benefit of the state. The prophets warn that if society does not 6495 exercise its right to punish the offender, then the offenses fall on the 6496 entire public and it will bear responsibility. In ancient times, the typical 6497 punishment was a financial fine (or alternatively, slavery) and corporal 6498 punishment up to and including the death penalty. Today, the punishment is 6499 imprisonment and/or a fine. In this situation, the chances of sinners 6500 reforming their ways are low. And when criminals of all kinds are imprisoned 6501 together, they continue to practice crime even in prison. Rehabilitation in 6502 prison today is completely voluntary, and at most provides an occupational 6503 solution and allows those who would have returned to society to return to 6504 society anyway even without rehabilitation to return to society. But most of 6505 the prisoners in prison today are those who chose a life of crime in the 6506 first place, because that is the culture in which they grew up. 6507 Rehabilitating such prisoners really means re-education, which does not exist 6508 today. The fact that many of those imprisoned have been in prison more than 6509 once indicates the failure of rehabilitation programs for those prisoners. 6510 Ostensibly, the same law applies to everyone, but if the justice system has 6511 an agenda - they are stricter with the accused. This happens mainly for 6512 political reasons - revenge becomes legitimate and convictions are upheld 6513 even if there is no evidence or testimony. It is enough to extract a 6514 "confession" from the victim under torture and the person is thrown 6515 in prison for the rest of his life. This is an absurdity that exists in a 6516 rotten justice system. In a trial The Jew has no chance of such a thing (only 6517 on the basis of two or three witnesses can one be convicted, not even based 6518 on a confession!).<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 6519 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 6520 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 6521 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 6522 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 6523 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 6524 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 6525 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 6526 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 6527 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 6528 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>How socially 6529 and morally just is the system of imprisonment, how much does it contribute 6530 to stabilizing society?<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 6531 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 6532 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

One option is to remove bad people from society, so that they will 6538 no longer endanger it. From the perspective of society, this is the easiest 6539 way. Here, society does not take responsibility for the crimes of the 6540 criminals. Another option is to work towards the true rehabilitation of the 6541 prisoners. This is the more difficult way in which society takes 6542 responsibility for the criminal acts (and therefore here the punishment will 6543 not be proportional to the severity of the crime) and will work to provide 6544 the criminals with a new life, so to speak. Ostensibly, both ways are 6545 correct: these people should be removed from society and, on the other hand, 6546 provided with the opportunity to rehabilitate them. In the US, prisons are 6547 called rehabilitation institutions. But even there, prisoners are not truly 6548 rehabilitated.

And there is the drug problem in 6565 prisons, which is an unwritten curse. It turns out that not many prisoners, 6566 those who come from difficult social backgrounds, manage to break out of the 6567 cycle of crime.

On the 6626 other hand, the offender is not exempt from responsibility either, and more 6627 than that: serving prison time does not atone for his actions, at most only 6628 serves society's desire for revenge. I accuse the state of getting away with 6629 its failure in the education and welfare system cheaply, but it throws the 6630 victim of the failure into prison, and that is where its responsibility ends. 6631 In fact, one could expect the state to investigate every such case of a 6632 person who has fallen into crime, as part of the repentance process that we 6633 need to undertake. There is no point or logic in bringing the offender to a 6634 state of losing all humanity, without rights, without consideration for basic 6635 needs, including many situations of humiliation and oppression, without 6636 presenting a way to a solution. And if he is not prepared to integrate with 6637 criminals in prison, then his punishment is doubled. And as mentioned, the 6638 incarcerated are themselves victims of society who need compassion and mercy. 6639 Some of them went through difficult experiences in their childhood, destroyed 6640 families, and more. And this is true, by the way, even for children from 6641 seemingly normative families. In a side note, I must clarify that there is a 6642 distortion in the understanding of the concept of criminal today. These are 6643 not only thieves and <span class=GramE>robbers,</span> we should also include 6644 the small crooks and big crooks who present false representations for their 6645 personal benefit and to exploit others.

However, woe to him if he fails a 6769 second time. If he drags on even after the system has trusted him and not 6770 been harsh with him, and has also received education and professional 6771 training in the process, and rehabilitation, then it is likely that the 6772 system will not be forgiving towards him the second time. If he previously 6773 spent time in a correctional and educational institution, this time the court 6774 can sentence him to a long prison sentence and not just additional 6775 rehabilitation. The key point in my opinion is that no concessions will be 6776 given for repeat offenses, and then the defendant will be considered a 6777 habitual offender and will be punished severely. In this way, people who have 6778 a chance at rehabilitation will indeed receive the rehabilitation, and if 6779 they do cooperate with the rehabilitation mechanism and do not repeat the 6780 crimes - the system will be forgiving towards them. And pay attention! When I 6781 talk about forgiveness, it depends on the case: there is no forgiveness and 6782 pardon for cases of rape and murder with malicious intent, incitement, or any 6783 other serious harm that endangers society as a whole. The death penalty is 6784 legitimate for crimes committed by people who do not recognize the right of 6785 society to exist. In this case, human rights are also null and void. And 6786 again I want to emphasize: vengeful punishment is unjust, wrong and 6787 ineffective - if possible, <span class=GramE>then</span> it should be 6788 addressed in other ways.

6806 at the time of redemption there will be (almost) no criminals.

These institutions will be completely open. Fines, if imposed, 6825 will be paid in part in exchange for days of work, and even those with money 6826 who were arrested will pay part of the fine in exchange for days of work, all 6827 according to the court's decision. In principle, institutions such as the 6828 agricultural farm in the village will be intended for people who have been 6829 convicted and their punishment will be determined in a way that will allow 6830 them to mend their ways through study and agricultural work. They will be 6831 able to leave and enter the facility without restrictions in their free time, 6832 but they will be required to be present at meetings on site. The therapeutic 6833 reform is not linked to the severity of the punishment and aims to bring 6834 about the rehabilitation of those who can be helped, and this will be done 6835 within the civil framework. The intention is to avoid stigmatizing a <span 6836 class=SpellE>rehabilitable</span> offender.

Such a solution requires 6879 separating the offender from his old environment and placing him in a better 6880 and more beneficial social environment where volunteers and professionals 6881 will serve to provide supportive attention. An attempt to analyze the factors 6882 that brought the offender to his situation will lead to the conclusion that 6883 the way to get him out of there (from the cycle of crime) requires investment 6884 and attention in everything, starting with addressing families with 6885 difficulties, continuing with guiding potential parents in good parenting, as 6886 well as monitoring problematic youth who are dropped from the education 6887 system, and ending with the rehabilitation of the offenders themselves. I 6888 assume that in a Jewish state this would not be a problem at all, but as of the 6889 time of writing these lines it is clear that everything must be done to 6890 prevent drugs (and to address the scourge of smoking in general). Drugs are 6891 plunging many good people into the abyss, and slavery to them is also 6892 responsible for the scourge of minor and disturbing property offenses.

A Resident Convert is a foreigner who is a 7168 resident of the land and has accepted the Seven Commandments of the Children 7169 of Noah out of recognition and faith in the prophecy of Moses. According to 7170 Maimonides, a Resident Convert is guaranteed a place in the world to come and 7171 is part of the Righteous Among the Nations (Laws of Kings, Chapter 8). A 7172 non-Resident Convert is forbidden to reside in the land since he is 7173 considered an enemy whom the Torah commands to destroy lest he become a mine 7174 (Deuteronomy 12:17). Regarding the issue of the joining of a righteous 7175 convert to the Jewish people, there are opinions here and there. On the one 7176 hand, Rabbi <span class=SpellE>Chalbo</span> said, "The converts are as 7177 difficult for Israel as a flock" (<span class=SpellE>Kiddushin</span> 7178 70b), which was based on the verse, "And we will bring the stranger upon 7179 them, and they will be joined to the house of Jacob" (Isaiah 14:1), and 7180 on the other hand, Rabbi <span class=SpellE>Eliezer</span> says (<span 7181 class=SpellE>Pesachim</span> 87) "The Holy One, blessed be He, did not 7182 exile Israel among the nations except so that converts might be added to 7183 them." Rabbi <span class=SpellE>Avraham</span> <span class=SpellE>Chalbo</span> 7184 (<span class=SpellE>Tosafot</span>, <span class=SpellE>Kiddushin</span>) sees 7185 a point in praise of the converts in Rabbi <span class=SpellE>Chalbo's</span> 7186 statement, "Since the converts are well-versed in the commandments and 7187 are meticulous in them, they are difficult for Israel." As a 7188 branch." Unlike Rabbi <span class=SpellE>Halbo</span>, he also 7189 interprets Isaiah so that the joining of the Gentiles to Israel at the time 7190 of the redemption is an expression of God's mercy on Israel. The prophet 7191 Isaiah describes all immigrants to the Land of Israel, including the 7192 converts, as a blessing and a source of pride for Israel. Hence, the joining 7193 of Gentiles to Israel is a distinct characteristic of the era of redemption.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 7194 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7195 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 7196 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 7197 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 7198 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 7199 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7200 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 7201 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 7202 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 7203 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>Indeed, this 7204 issue is particularly relevant today, when the percentage of assimilation 7205 among Diaspora Jews is very high.

Whereas Ethiopian 7208 Jews had to undergo a conversion to <span class=SpellE>HaMura</span> because 7209 of doubts about their Jewishness. At the time of redemption, masses of 7210 immigrants from the seed of Israel are expected to immigrate who will also 7211 need to undergo a conversion process. In my view, we should not reject them. 7212 They should be accepted as lost brothers, of course, provided that they truly 7213 want to return to Judaism. Accordingly, we will need to prepare education, 7214 information, and guidance for mass conversions.

Rabbi Yitzhak <span 7232 class=SpellE>Halevi</span> Herzog has already stated that "a foreigner 7233 who does not practice idolatry [...] may not be prevented from residing in 7234 the Land of Israel." This statement in particular and an in-depth 7235 discussion of the status of foreigners in general are clearly presented in 7236 the in-depth work of Ariel Picard (Status of the Foreigner, Foreigners in a 7237 Jewish State - Rabbi Herzog, Rabbi Israeli) when he also presents the 7238 position of Rabbi <span class=SpellE>Shaul</span> Israeli justifying the stay 7239 of foreigners who are not in the status of resident aliens - with the 7240 argument of the weakness of the state in our time today. Rabbi Elisha <span 7241 class=SpellE>Aviner</span> specifically referred to Muslims in comparison to 7242 other religions that are not enemies of Israel and conditioned their 7243 remaining on full acceptance of the Israeli government, paying taxes, 7244 enlisting in the army or national service, and renouncing key appointments in 7245 the state government. It is certainly possible that Gentiles who truly 7246 recognize God and Judaism will also want to join the Jewish people, and not 7247 just remain in the status of "Noachian children." Despite the 7248 relative flexibility that I present here, it should still be clear to 7249 everyone that the right of Gentiles in the Land of Israel completely recedes 7250 in comparison to the right of the People of Israel, a right based primarily 7251 on the commandment of God. The Torah commands us to conquer and settle in it 7252 and inherit it from the rest of the inhabitants of the land, while our right 7253 to the land is a permanent right and is not conditional on our actions or the 7254 degree of our loyalty to the Creator of the world. Even when we were in 7255 exile, our right was preserved. Therefore, if there are Gentiles who dare to 7256 claim ownership of the Land of Israel, it means rebellion against God, which 7257 denies them the right to exist. Gentiles can claim ownership of any place in 7258 the world - except for the Land of Israel. On the other hand, the same demand 7259 of loyalty to the land to which the immigrants and the children of Noah 7260 commit, I also demand from the citizens of the land of Jewish origin. Even 7261 today, when the State of Israel is at the beginning of the redemption, the 7262 Jewish duty of loyalty to the state is fulfilled, which negates any talk of 7263 handing over land to the enemy or to foreign interests.<span lang=AR-SA 7264 dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 7265 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7266 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 7267 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 7268 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 7269 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 7270 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7271 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

The special connection to this land was learned 3300 years ago 7278 when the people of Israel prepared to enter the land and the first thing they 7279 did was to announce to whom the land had been given, as it is said: "And 7280 you shall set up for yourself large stones and engrave them with a stone and 7281 write on them all the words of this Torah before you, so that you may enter 7282 the land that the Lord your God is giving you" (Deuteronomy 27:2). As long 7283 as the people of Israel were exiled from their land because of their sins, 7284 the land was desolate and uninhabited. When the <span class=SpellE>Ishmaelites</span> 7285 who were in the land during our exile turned it into a wasteland. In this 7286 context, the Zohar writes: "And his sons (the sons of Ishmael) will rule 7287 over the Holy Land when it will be empty of Israel for a long time, and they 7288 will hinder Israel from returning to their land until that right (the right 7289 of Ishmael's circumcision) is fulfilled when the Lord visits his people" 7290 (Zohar, <span class=SpellE>Parashat</span> <span class=SpellE>Va'era</span>). 7291 During the time of the wilderness, there <span class=GramE>was</span> only 7292 one people who remained faithful to the Land of Israel throughout all the 7293 years of exile, and that was the people of Israel. It is possible that 7294 without the loyalty To the Land - arising from the strong faith in God, the 7295 people would be lost and assimilated into the Gentiles. This strengthens our 7296 belief that in the redemption, the people of Israel will inherit the Promised 7297 Land. <span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 7298 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7299 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 7300 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 7301 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 7302 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 7303 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7304 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 7305 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 7306 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 7307 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>The Torah 7308 teaches and commands that God gave the Land of Israel to the people of Israel 7309 as an eternal dowry. Even when the people are temporarily in exile, the dowry 7310 (the Land of Israel) is preserved in the hands of God for better days. I do 7311 not deny the role that God gave to the Gentiles to serve as an instrument in 7312 carrying out the punishment for the people of Israel, a situation that still 7313 exists, since we are still subject to punishment, but unfortunately the 7314 Gentiles took advantage of God's anger, turned things around and claimed that 7315 the punishment of exile proves that the inheritance of the land was 7316 transferred from the Jews who sinned to the <span class=SpellE>Ishmaelites</span>. 7317 We are <span class=GramE>asked,</span> who put them in the place of God to 7318 decide what the status of Israel will be in the future? Perhaps, in our lack 7319 of faith, we even reinforce this thesis. In our great desire to hand over 7320 parts of the homeland to the Gentiles, we greatly reinforce their thinking as 7321 if they have property rights to the land. Betrayal is not only a sin against 7322 God, but also a mortal injury to the future existence of the Israeli state. 7323 Even if it turns out sweet (i.e. the paradox that betrayal of the State of 7324 Israel is a necessary condition for redemption), it is absolutely forbidden. 7325 In this context, it is important to understand that there is a covenant between 7326 the people of Israel, the Torah of Israel, and the Land of Israel, a covenant 7327 that is made anew every day by putting on <span class=SpellE>tefillin</span> 7328 with the blessing "And I will bequeath you to me forever...". On 7329 the other hand, we must trust in God, who maintains absolute loyalty to the 7330 people of Israel regardless of our good deeds towards God. The principles of 7331 faith are that the right of the people of Israel to the Land of Israel is 7332 indisputable and it stands forever and the land should not be shared with 7333 others. Anyone who does not believe in this is an infidel in the meaning of 7334 being a Jew. The commandment to settle the land is not <span class=GramE>a 7335 permission</span> but an obligation, and not only an obligation but a divine 7336 necessity, and any attempt to evade it will only lead to serious harm to the

In my opinion, if we are 7358 forced to reach the third stage of war, we will not have this luxury to stop 7359 in the middle of the war and talk peace (as unfortunately happens every time 7360 the State of Israel wins), the war will end only after the cause of the war 7361 disappears and is destroyed.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 7362 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7363 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 7364 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 7365 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 7366 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 7367 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7368 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 7369 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 7370 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 7371 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>Foreigners 7372 who remain in the country will have the status of resident aliens.

Once they agree to the conditions and are allowed to stay, the 7377 way back will be impossible. I am not a supporter of the method of expelling 7378 populations at all.

The 7404 Jews have a bloody history of conflict with Muslims. On the one hand, we 7405 strive to please them and reach peace with them, and on the other hand, we 7406 learn the hard way that their values ​​by which they live are 7407 completely different.

Nowadays, mass 7433 conversion is a sensitive and charged issue and is not acceptable to many. 7434 However, at the time of the redemption, I predict that the issue will return 7435 to the agenda because many will want to join us: Gentiles who immigrated to 7436 Israel and joined the Jewish people, or Gentiles resident in the land who 7437 will transfer to resident alien status, are also candidates to join the 7438 Jewish people. In fact, even the Sages take the issue seriously, and 7439 according to one method, the Jews will be so popular that the Gentiles will 7440 want to join the Jewish people on their own initiative. Assuming that the 7441 conversion process (of Muslims with resident alien status) will take a long 7442 time, perhaps many years, it must be declared that there will be equality of 7443 rights and obligations for everyone. Every naturalized citizen (resident 7444 alien) will be entitled to all civil rights and all obligations, such as 7445 national and military service on the one hand, and support and welfare on the 7446 other. In the second stage, after they complete the conversion process, they 7447 will take part in the fate of the Jewish people for better or worse, and then 7448 their status will also be equal from a religious-national perspective. 7449 Gentiles of the Islamic faith will be allowed to use houses of prayer but not 7450 to build mosques and mosque minarets. The condition for citizenship is 7451 receiving resident alien status with all that this entails, for example, 7452 abandoning beliefs that contradict the foundations of our faith. Those 7453 Muslims who accept the conditions that entitle them to resident alien status 7454 will also be closer to <span class=SpellE>To</span> adopt the Jewish religion 7455 and are eligible to begin the process of joining the people of Israel. 7456 Conversion will be done in three stages: 1. Resident alien status and 7457 acceptance of <span class=SpellE>Noahide</span> commandments, 2. Studying the
7458 basics of Judaism, 3. Completing the conversion process and accepting the 7459 yoke of Torah and commandments. The status of a resident alien will not be 7460 recognized until he signs a declaration of loyalty in the following words: 7461 "I undertake to maintain loyalty to the people of Israel and its laws 7462 and I recognize the exclusive sovereignty of the people of Israel over the 7463 Land of Israel as commanded by God and written in the Torah of Israel, and I 7464 undertake to act in the spirit of this declaration of loyalty."

So much so that if you ask me today what the 7485 most serious damage to the Jewish people was as a result of the Holocaust, 7486 the answer would not be a decrease in the number of Jews, but rather the 7487 damage to the natural survival mechanism in the face of those who hate to 7488 destroy us.

The truth is that by the time the 7537 Jews arrived, the land had been depopulated during the centuries of Muslim 7538 rule and abandoned by its inhabitants. A few thousand Muslims remained in 7539 agricultural settlements and were subject to harassment by Bedouin bandits on 7540 the one hand and high taxes from the Ottoman government on the other. In 7541 addition, because the local economy was based on uncontrolled grazing (the 7542 black goat), the land underwent a process of accelerated desertification. It 7543 should be noted that the local Muslims never demonstrated exceptional loyalty 7544 to the land, which explains the mass departure and escape during the War of 7545 Independence following the withdrawal of the invading Arab armies, contrary 7546 to the theory of "attachment" to the land. Even today, their 7547 "love of the land" is evident in the fact that they are willing to 7548 systematically set fire to every grove and forest in their natural 7549 environment. A true and responsible people would strongly condemn this type 7550 of vandalism. Insensitive behavior toward the values ​​of nature 7551 is the antithesis of faith in the Creator of the world.<span lang=AR-SA 7552 dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 7553 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7554 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 7555 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 7556 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 7557 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 7558 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7559 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 7560 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 7561 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 7562 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>Even if 7563 Muslims have immigrated and lived in the land for hundreds of years, their 7564 apparent "right" no longer applies to them. After two thousand 7565 years of abandonment in the Land of Israel, under the rule of many foreign 7566 kingdoms, it is clear to everyone that the land is returning to true Jewish 7567 ownership. This is the period before the redemption. The redemption, and with 7568 it the international recognition of the bond of the people of Israel to the 7569 Land of Israel, will come, whether in time or not. The redemption will be 7570 aided by the Gentiles of the world, they will be partners in the redemption 7571 in many ways, and therefore we must also see the Gentiles of the world in the 7572 correct perspective - not as enemies but as lost, and we must of course help 7573 them (by the way, this is also true of the Muslim residents of the Land of 7574 Israel! Everyone has a role in the redemption as decreed by God). Judaism is 7575 tolerant of other religions and peoples, and the reason is the mission for 7576 the sake of faith in the universal God. Various Gentiles live in the land, 7577 some love and some hate those who preach the destruction of the people of 7578 Israel in the Land of Israel. It is enough to think that it is permissible to 7579 kill the Jews, and this can bring a great disaster to the public that thinks <span 7580 class=GramE>this,</span> and the same goes for those who encourage such 7581 thinking (including Jews). We learn this from our rich history when all the 7582 Gentiles who tried to overthrow us fell from their greatness or disappeared 7583 from the pages of history, so do not be surprised if this will be their fate 7584 as well. If the Gentiles living in the Land sincerely want to continue living 7585 here in peace, they must radically correct their ways to the point that they 7586 will take an active part in the process of the return of the people of Israel 7587 to their land and in the building of the land. Their rights as citizens of 7588 the land will also be preserved, as I already mentioned in the introduction 7589 regarding the resident alien.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 7590 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7591 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

Peace is of course the preferred one, but 7603 its only meaning is full identification with the Jewish people, acceptance of 7604 Jewish conversions and acceptance of the seven commandments of the children 7605 of Noah. At the end of this process, it is possible and likely that the 7606 Gentiles will join the people of Israel. Without fulfilling these conditions, 7607 one should refer to Gentiles as an enemy in war. In the context of the issue 7608 of conversions, in my opinion, no obstacle should be placed in the way of 7609 those who truly want to take part in the Jewish destiny and join the people 7610 of Israel. This connection must be established legally and officially because 7611 this is the best way to solve this painful human and national problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 7612 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7613 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 7614 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 7615 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 7616 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 7617 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7618 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 7619 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><b><span style='font-size: 7620 14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 7621 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>25.

Because the other side is an ideological enemy, the path 7630 of compromise has no significance for the issue of Israel's safe settlement 7631 in its land. Of course, there is a complete prohibition on making peace with 7632 the enemies of God from any religion in general and Islam in particular. My 7633 explanation in a nutshell regarding Muslim hostility is that Muslims believe 7634 that God canceled the covenant with the Jews because they sinned against God 7635 and therefore the exile came, and hence God chose to favor Muhammad as His 7636 prophet. In their view, this also nullified the right to exist of the Jewish 7637 people, and all privileges and positions automatically passed to the Muslims, 7638 the descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's eldest son. Jewish independence in the 7639 Land of Israel is a contradiction to the foundation of the Muslim faith, and 7640 from their perspective this will not be forgiven. Jews have always been in 7641 the inferior status of Jewish protectors in Muslim countries, while today the 7642 Jews are considered infidels, monkeys and pigs. In their view, the conflict 7643 is going to be decided in favor of the Muslims, who will defeat us on the 7644 battlefield, and if not, then at least on the demographic battlefield when 7645 they succeed in destroying the state from within. In fact, I believe, on the
7646 contrary - by the "right" of the hesitation and concessions of the State 7647 of Israel, redemption will come before the Muslims achieve the demographic 7648 majority that is supposed to overthrow the Israeli state from within. Hence, 7649 the war of redemption will begin earlier than expected.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 7650 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7651 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 7652 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL 7653 style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font: 7654 major-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 7655 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7656 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 7657 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 7658 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 7659 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>If it weren't 7660 for overt and covert miracles, the cooperation of the Jewish people here with 7661 what is called the Muslim "peace" would have accelerated the 7662 process of destroying the Jewish people in their country and brought about 7663 the abolition of the Zionist entity in general. The first step towards the 7664 end of the state would be the recognition of what is called "the state 7665 of all its citizens." The second step would be when the Muslims show us 7666 the way out as part of their demand for historical justice. In my opinion, 7667 those residents of the country of Jewish origin who lose every trace of their 7668 Jewish heritage will decide, in the aforementioned state of distress, to <span 7669 class=GramE>emigrate</span> to countries of the world where they are safe. 7670 Today, it can be seen that the settlement of residents of Jewish origin in 7671 the country is a matter of expediency: they are comfortable here because they 7672 were born here, their family is here, and their livelihood is here, but when 7673 it becomes clear to them that their concept of "peace" has 7674 collapsed, they will be the first on the planes. Only those without means or, 7675 alternatively, those with ideals, will remain in the country despite 7676 everything, despite suffering the horrors of war on the home front and in the 7677 front. The facts must be acknowledged: Muslims are not willing to give up 7678 their preliminary demand for the resettlement of the "refugees" in 7679 Jaffa, <span class=SpellE>Lod</span>, <span class=SpellE>Ramla</span>, and 7680 Haifa, a destructive step from the perspective of Jewish Israel, and hence 7681 peace for them is a tactic and not a goal at all. There are many proposals 7682 for solutions to the conflict, but even if there were a miracle and we 7683 achieved agreement on an inter-regional solution through population exchanges 7684 and a redistribution of the Middle East, in reality, fundamentalist Islam is 7685 unable to recognize a Jewish entity as an existing fact and certainly not as 7686 a sovereign state. The current path of Israeli statesmen, which advocates 7687 baseless agreements, only guarantees the continuation of the war. The 7688 Jewish-Muslim conflict is inevitable and is fueled by ideological, cultural 7689 and demographic explosives. However, this will explode only when Muslims 7690 realize that Israel is sufficiently weakened that it no longer poses a 7691 danger. In this situation, all the lofty ideas of peace will turn into dust 7692 in yesterday's newspapers. Today, we are also beginning to recognize that 7693 terrorism pays off and all the <span class=SpellE>Dalits</span> have 7694 prevailed. Perhaps this recognition will bring about a change in values, so 7695 that even the most naive will understand reality. When Muslims are already a 7696 minute away from destroying the country to the ground, it will be a little 7697 too late for To fix, however, the severe crisis will bring about renewed 7698 self-awareness, the breaking of our heart of stone, and this is already a 7699 hint of what is to come that explains how the transformation in faith and the 7700 return to God will take place in the process of redemption.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 7701 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7702 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

The first year will be voluntary, and then 7718 anyone who wishes will continue to serve with full pay, except of course in a 7719 real emergency, when soldiers will also be conscripted if necessary. It has 7720 already been said: "He who desires peace - prepares for war", peace 7721 and strength are intertwined, as we indeed ask in our prayer "The Lord 7722 will give strength to his people, the Lord will bless his people with 7723 peace" (Psalm 29:11). In this way, we associate the service of the Lord 7724 with peace and tranquility. Only when the Blessed One blesses us with 7725 strength and security - will peace prevail on earth. According to this view, our 7726 strength is not measured by the number of tanks or soldiers, but by the 7727 virtue of spiritual strength. In my opinion, the main potential inherent in 7728 our military strength comes from our resourcefulness and wisdom in war. We 7729 must not rely on our military strength alone, but on our faith in the 7730 righteousness and power of the Blessed One. Even so, maintaining a huge army 7731 is not economically viable; the enormous burden will also come at the expense 7732 of our quality of life, thus putting the wheel back on the path to harming 7733 our security. For these reasons, which are certainly security considerations, 7734 we should work to reduce the army and increase investment in the economy. It 7735 is better to invest more in society and infrastructure and less in nurturing 7736 the army, whose physical size does not indicate its strength. Perhaps this is 7737 nothing new, but every security decision also has economic significance, and 7738 army leaders must be taught to consider the economic aspect as well. A lot of 7739 money went down the drain in the past because of the small-minded policy. 7740 Unnecessary fortifications, separation fences, distribution of emergency kits 7741 without justification, unnecessary bureaucracy, equipment at astronomical 7742 prices just because of a stricter standard, and more. This message is 7743 important not only for the military establishment but for the entire public 7744 establishment, according to which public servants must be accountable to 7745 themselves and the public for all their decisions so that they do not appear 7746 to be disrespecting public money.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 7747 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7748 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 7749 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 7750 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 7751 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>Reducing the 7752 military force structure is a necessary and first step towards saving on 7753 security spending, and it can also be carried out without harming deterrence, 7754 by reorganizing the army along with more responsible care in maintaining our 7755 military superiority in the Middle East. Reducing the military force 7756 structure (regular) will also allow for a very significant reduction in 7757 non-combatant auxiliary forces and a corresponding reduction in security 7758 spending. Security will not be harmed if, in parallel with the cut, there is 7759 an improvement in the level of soldiers and the level of command through 7760 professional training of the forces and service for long years. As part of 7761 the military reform, all security concepts as they are currently accepted by 7762 the security establishment will be changed to adapt to the security concept
7763 that relies on small, agile forces with long-term operational capabilities, 7764 backed by massive reserve units. This concept, which relies mainly on 7765 reserves, requires the creation of vast demilitarized spaces on both sides of 7766 the border so that the border will be very far from population centers, so 7767 that any unusual military activity in areas near the border will result in an 7768 immediate response, along with the mobilization of reserves if necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 7769 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7770 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 7771 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 7772 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 7773 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 7774 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 7775 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 7776 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 7777 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 7778 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>Even if there 7779 is a paramount value for military service, I do not see any practical or 7780 moral justification for compulsory military conscription.

Service in the army will be based 7802 more on permanent service, and there will be fewer reserve days and less 7803 regular service. The regular army will concentrate only on training, not on 7804 administration or ongoing security. Regular personnel will carry out the 7805 ongoing military activity - ongoing security, readiness, etc., while 7806 maintenance and administrative positions will be served by professionals who 7807 are civilians or permanent employees, not regular personnel. Regular military 7808 service will be shortened to one year, designated for basic training at the 7809 individual, team, and company levels until the warrior reaches a high level 7810 of military proficiency. In my opinion, every soldier, even if he or she 7811 intends to continue in a non-combat role in the regular army, should undergo 7812 fitness training, close combat, and marksmanship, in addition to basic 7813 soldier training. Soldiers who continue in command and officer roles will 7814 sign up for permanent service (at least five years), which is necessary in 7815 order to meet the high professional requirements required of them.

Regular soldiers will be free 7832 to engage exclusively in training and exercises without the harassment of the 7833 BTS (current security), which will anyway be based on the service of 7834 professional soldiers. The changes that will be required in the army's 7835 structure will include rethinking the distribution of tasks, the order of 7836 forces, and the logistics of equipment and weapons. As mentioned, the army 7837 will employ professional soldiers in current security and activate reserve 7838 soldiers only in emergency situations. The share of reserves in the SDAK ​​will 7839 be relatively high, but even these will not be used for current security but 7840 only for emergency situations, but two weeks a year will be dedicated to 7841 training. Reserve personnel will receive full pay for the two weeks a year in 7842 which they train, and will also receive a fixed salary (according to their 7843 rank) for one month a year for simply maintaining readiness. Reducing the 7844 regular army and employing small units of professional military personnel 7845 will require improving the reserve army and its level of readiness.

Another issue is support for families with many children. 8154 In principle - I am against a child allowance. A family with many children 8155 receives its blessing from God. But of course there will be a subsistence 8156 allowance for all those in need without the need to provide proof.

In the reformed state, salary arrangements in the public sector 8215 will be determined by a special committee to determine equal criteria for all 8216 employees. The criteria for determining salary will be seniority, experience, 8217 level of education, military service, rank at work, excellence at work, level 8218 of difficulty at work, level of knowledge and education required for the job, 8219 responsibility required for the position, risk associated with that 8220 profession, and scope of the position. All of these criteria will be given a score 8221 in accordance with the committee's determination, and it will also take into 8222 account the nature of the position. The final salary will be determined 8223 according to the total of the accumulated scores.

The committee will also prevent any situation of circumventing the 8226 criteria by using personal contracts or providing illegal benefits. Private 8227 entities will also be able to use the committee to determine salary levels, 8228 free of charge. However, in any case, the private sector must pay salaries 8229 that are not lower than the minimum wage. Another right that will be 8230 preserved for employees is severance pay, which amounts to one month's salary 8231 per year and will be paid to every employee who is fired or forced to resign. 8232 Action must be taken to cancel restrictive agreements that prevent, for 8233 example, the fair dismissal of an employee. In my opinion, these lead to a 8234 decline in work ethics and a dire injustice when there is no way to reward 8235 the good and no way to punish the bad.

I hope that in the days of 8289 redemption, the education system will be entirely Torah-based Jewish, and 8290 will also take part in the above issue. In my opinion, there are cases in 8291 which the spiritual guide in the community must take his own initiative to 8292 help young people who are not in a hurry and are taking their time, even if 8293 they have a partner, to move forward towards establishing a family unit while 8294 receiving appropriate guidance. Today, in many cases, couples are mistaken in 8295 thinking that the other person always has to give up in order to maintain the 8296 partnership. But if we succeed in convincing them that each person must do 8297 everything on their part for the sake of the joint partnership, both parties
8298 will benefit. Establishing the family unit on the basis of our holy Torah 8299 should be our soul's desire and will bring about a change in the quality of 8300 life of many and dear ones. It is painful to see the suffering that is the 8301 lot of children in divided families that were established from the beginning 8302 on a distorted foundation. The unsettled foundation stems, among other 8303 things, from the reality that dating is part of a method of entertainment and 8304 fun, without obligation. And for that reason, a partner is sought in places 8305 of entertainment. In my humble opinion, this will no longer be the case in 8306 the State of Redemption. Also because dating will be done in a faith 8307 community by professionals or family, and also because places of 8308 entertainment where promiscuity reigns will no longer interest us.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 8309 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 8310 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 8311 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL 8312 style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font: 8313 major-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 8314 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 8315 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 8316 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span dir=LTR></span><b><span 8317 style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font: 8318 major-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><span 8319 dir=LTR></span>32.

I would like to hope that over time general subjects will be 8357 introduced in all schools, in all sectors. However, at the same time, the 8358 Torah and faith will not be harmed, perhaps even strengthened.

Hence, the entire Jewish people will be exposed 8376 to an education system that is at least traditional with Jewish law and 8377 philosophy. In my opinion, education should be viewed as a kind of investment 8378 whose fruits will come to us later. We should invest seriously and not skimp 8379 on recruiting teachers. The goal is to strengthen faith and impart basic 8380 values ​​in Judaism. Will strengthening faith be the same for 8381 those who repent as for those who observe the commandments? The answer is no, 8382 "Educating a boy according to his own path," each group will 8383 receive a system that suits it. But I expect that within a few years the gap 8384 will gradually narrow until we can establish an educational system with a 8385 similar agenda for everyone. Of course, we will still have to learn to live 8386 with an education system that is adapted to different factions and committees 8387 in the <span class=SpellE>Haredi</span> or religious sector. However, on the 8388 other hand, I would expect compromise, agreement, and rapprochement between 8389 the sectors to the extent possible. When we know that the path Redemption is 8390 promoted first and foremost through peaceful means between man and man and 8391 between man and place. I of course hope that it will at least be possible to 8392 begin with education for openness: to accept, understand, and know how to 8393 deal with opinions that differ from your own. This is a difficult task even 8394 today and will be even more difficult to achieve in the future in a society 8395 that fears any change in its way of life, and rightly so.

8414 state. An infrastructure for general education and an infrastructure for 8415 Jewish education that combine science and technology with religious studies 8416 must be established and developed. Technological education must be 8417 implemented from an early age (from kindergarten) together with Jewish 8418 education and the student's thinking and learning patterns must be 8419 encouraged. One of the foundations of the educational system will be the 8420 principle of "educating the boy according to his path," which is 8421 the adaptation of a variety of educational programs to the student body, 8422 which is of course heterogeneous in terms of personal ability.

I believe that among the 8428 other miracles that will occur in the days of redemption will be the miracle 8429 of opening our hearts to Torah and enlightenment, which until now we have not 8430 been open to for many reasons, and thus we will be able to accept the 8431 teachings of science and the science of Torah as part of the reality of 8432 creation and redemption.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 8433 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 8434 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 8435 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 8436 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 8437 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 8438 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 8439 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 8440 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 8441 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 8442 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>According to 8443 the <span class=SpellE>halacha</span>, it has already been said by Rabbi <span 8444 class=SpellE>Nehorai</span>, "I give up every craft in the world and I 8445 teach my son nothing but Torah, nothing but Torah" <span class=SpellE>Kiddushin</span>, 8446 page 82a. However, many make excuses that he only applies this to himself since 8447 he saw his son succeed in Torah studies. The <span class=SpellE>Chatam</span> 8448 <span class=SpellE>Sofer</span> qualifies Rabbi <span class=SpellE>Nehorai's</span> 8449 words and explains that the profession serves as a source of livelihood and 8450 therefore "he who does not teach his son a craft is as if he is teaching 8451 him robberies." He adds that even if the craft serves not only for 8452 livelihood but for the "settlement of the world" and contributes to 8453 technological progress - the craft has great importance and is considered a 8454 mitzvah as if it were the work of the land related to the development of the 8455 Land of Israel, in contrast to our situation in exile when we lived abroad 8456 and had no interest in contributing to the soldiers of the Gentiles and the 8457 settlement of the world.

However, at the same time, it is clear to me 8473 that in every Jewish education system there will be variants of one kind or 8474 another, and I am not in a position to determine at this time what the 8475 direction will be or what autonomy will be given to the various schools. As I 8476 mentioned earlier, I also do not have an answer to difficult questions 8477 concerning the unity of education in the days of redemption, such as the 8478 division between a Sephardic and Ashkenazi, Lithuanian or Hasidic, <span 8479 class=SpellE>Haredi</span> or knitted <span class=SpellE>kippah</span> 8480 education system, and so on. Given the current situation, it is likely that 8481 some degree of difference will still remain among the many streams. However, 8482 in my heart of hearts, I hope that the main educational trend will be 8483 according to the path of Rabbi Kook, which is tolerant by nature and is also 8484 designed to accept into it people from all denominations and all streams with 8485 sincere love of Israel. However, according to whatever system it is, the 8486 system must educate in Torah and <span class=SpellE>mitzvot</span> with faith 8487 and love, love of learning, education in the way of the land and love of the 8488 land, and in science and knowledge. Education for love of country will be 8489 given great weight in the system because from it we draw the strength to 8490 fight and fight for our beloved country against all those who rise up against 8491 us, an issue that is currently very much in short supply. The educational 8492 challenge will require a great effort from all branches of government to 8493 contribute their share to the cause. This is the first reason for shortening 8494 military service along with national service to two years, and for the same 8495 reason reserve service will also be carried out during the summer period 8496 only. Increasing the education fund will only be possible if education is 8497 free and available to all and caters to all levels of education and types of 8498 students. Elementary and high school education should be exempt from fees, as 8499 should preferential subjects in higher education.

Students who are not interested in a particular idea in their 8517 lives will naturally find empty and negative matters to fill the gap. In 8518 order to avoid situations of lack of discipline, the issue of morality should 8519 be set as an ideological goal (as part of Torah education), and the managements 8520 of educational institutions should also be given autonomy in choosing the 8521 teaching staff, but these will be under state supervision. Schools will also 8522 have autonomy in providing salary supplements (under supervision and in 8523 accordance with criteria, for both teachers and principals) and in collecting 8524 these expenses from students, as well as in choosing the students who will be
8525 accepted and/or continue to study at the school. In my opinion, the school's 8526 obligation to accept every student should be abolished in principle and not 8527 panic if a student cannot find a school close to his or her place of 8528 residence. Each student will be held personally liable for his or her 8529 behavior during the school year, and if necessary, the student's studies 8530 should be terminated, otherwise the entire education system will be harmed. 8531 It should be noted here that such phenomena in the Torah education system are 8532 relatively rare compared to the general education system.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 8533 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 8534 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 8535 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 8536 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 8537 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 8538 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 8539 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 8540 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 8541 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 8542 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>The education 8543 system should educate for ideals, personal fulfillment and taking 8544 responsibility. Education for responsibility on the one hand also requires 8545 ideological openness on the other, although within the limits of good taste 8546 and law and order. Intellectual openness (as opposed to educational openness) 8547 is, in my opinion, essential in a technological society, a society based on 8548 the principle of free information and the development of industry and 8549 competition in the economic world. However, openness must be accompanied by 8550 constant fear and apprehension, as Rabbi Kook also warned, because 8551 unfortunately many of the descendants of those who opened up to general 8552 culture, especially during the Enlightenment movement, but also in recent 8553 times, ended up loosening their grip on the Torah of Israel. In my opinion, 8554 with a strong enough Torah foundation, it will be possible to expand to 8555 general education with less fear of falls and stumbling. I believe in the 8556 need for technological education and true cultural openness that, on the one 8557 hand, will give us the tools to withstand most external temptations and, on 8558 the other hand, will place us at the center of matters in the economy and 8559 technology.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 8560 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 8561 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 8562 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 8563 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 8564 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 8565 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 8566 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 8567 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 8568 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 8569 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>Additional 8570 principles by which the education system will operate are: 1) the freedom to 8571 choose the educational institution, 2) the system will provide appropriate 8572 solutions for outstanding students as well as for students who are having 8573 difficulty in their studies, 3) holding national exams upon completion of 8574 high school, however, admission to higher education institutions will also be 8575 based on internal exams according to the department of study, 4) the 8576 possibility of an independent curriculum (with the approval of the Ministry

This is due to the fact 8601 that the Sabbath is a testimony to the covenant between God and the people of 8602 Israel, and the covenant is also the reason for the existence of the people 8603 of Israel in this world. The meaning of keeping the Sabbath covenant is 8604 recognition of the act of creation and acceptance of the yoke of the Kingdom 8605 of Heaven. Our very identification with God and the work of creating the 8606 world is expressed through our cessation from all work on the seventh day. 8607 Beyond that: the Land of Israel was given to us for faithful stewardship with 8608 the goal of worshiping God in it, by keeping the Sabbath and remembering it 8609 in this holy place. Hence the national importance of the Sabbath in 8610 everything related to our right to the land and our continued existence on 8611 this land. In fact, the desecration of the Sabbath causes the cancellation of 8612 the right of the people of Israel to the Land of Israel. And it has already 8613 been said: "Jerusalem was not destroyed except because they desecrated 8614 the Sabbath in it" (Shabbat 119). The Sabbath is equivalent (according 8615 to the <span class=SpellE>Ramban</span>) to all the commandments, and whoever 8616 violates the Sabbath is as if he has denied the creation of the world and 8617 thus transgresses all the commandments of the Torah. So also is the summary 8618 of the <span class=SpellE>Shulchan</span> <span class=SpellE>Aruch</span>, 8619 which adds: "And whoever openly violates the Sabbath is like an idolater 8620 in all his words. If he touches wine, he is forbidden, and the cake he bakes 8621 is like the cake of a foreigner" (<span class=SpellE>Kitzur</span> <span 8622 class=SpellE>Shulchan</span> <span class=SpellE>Aruch</span>, Shabbat, 72). 8623 The Gentiles, knowing that the abolition of the Sabbath is the abolition of 8624 the entire Torah, the separation of Israel from its Torah, and the cessation 8625 of Israel's eternity, when they sought to uproot Israel from the world and 8626 transfer it from its religion - they decreed first of all the Sabbath. Every 8627 framework of a Jewish state must be established on the basis of Sabbath 8628 observance; otherwise it is not a Jewish state but a state of nations. 8629 Without the Sabbath, the Jews living in such a state will not be different in 8630 their right and essence from the other nations in the state. In the future, 8631 the Jewish state in the Land of Israel, which will be established on the 8632 basis of Jewish law, will be distinguished from the rest of the world in 8633 observing the Sabbath as a supreme value, with a national consensus on the 8634 importance of the Sabbath for the people and the state.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 8635 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 8636 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

It has not only the moral 8647 basis but also the obligation to demand from the individual as well as from 8648 the general public, to observe the Sabbath. In public. On the other hand, 8649 those who desecrate the Sabbath in their homes bear personal responsibility 8650 and the state will not judge or pass judgment for this. But when the 8651 desecration of the Sabbath is done in public and in front of everyone - the 8652 sin is on the entire public and the entire society will be forced to bear the 8653 harsh consequences if it does not act. In my opinion, there is no question at 8654 all what the price of the Sabbath is. We are talking about the most expensive 8655 price, the price of life. Many accidents and disasters can be attributed to 8656 the desecration of the general Sabbath, and this is based on the Torah (and 8657 this is without even taking into account the unnecessary deaths of drunken 8658 revelers on weekends), therefore Jewish society must be careful to observe 8659 the Sabbath in public for the good of the public.

However, if the 8680 desecration of Shabbat repels us from the Land of Israel, it goes without 8681 saying that the desecration of Shabbat will have a similar result. And we 8682 have already been told that if we keep Shabbat in the land - we will deserve 8683 to dwell in our land safely, and if not, the land will vomit us out. On the 8684 other hand, it seems that Shabbat in the Diaspora does not have the same law 8685 as Shabbat in the Land of Israel, since the Jews in exile suffered whether 8686 they kept Shabbat or not. At most, assimilation increased. But there, Shabbat 8687 preserved the people of Israel in another sense, in the sense of preserving 8688 Jewish continuity throughout two thousand years of exile. The power of the 8689 Sabbath in protecting the Land of Israel here and the Jewish people there 8690 creates a parallel between <span class=SpellE>Shemitah</span> and going into 8691 exile, and between Shabbat and exile. The result is that the sanctity of 8692 Shabbat is higher in the Land of Israel. Here, more effort must be made to 8693 sanctify Shabbat. The same sacred uniqueness that the land of the Land of 8694 Israel has, which causes it to cry out when the Shabbat is violated, is also 8695 true here: the land cries out and cries out when the Shabbat is violated. In 8696 my understanding, and I hope that others understand this as well, there is a 8697 metaphysical connection between the land and the land, and between Shabbat. 8698 Shabbat, like the Shabbat, creates a connection between the people and their 8699 land as well as between the people and their God. This land literally 8700 "feels" Shabbat and "feels" when trust in it is violated. 8701 And just as a person cannot accumulate days without sleep, so the earth 8702 cannot accumulate years without rest, and in the end it will restore 8703 everything to itself, as it truly did during our exile, when the land 8704 remained desolate and neglected, as if it had restored all the Sabbaths to 8705 itself and is now waiting only for us to make it bloom again.<span 8706 lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 8707 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 8708 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

The mitzvah of the 8720 Sabbath is a mitzvah with a spiritual dimension, thanks to which, by virtue 8721 of its observance, peace and rest are radiated over the entire land. This 8722 thesis also has practical significance regarding our attitude towards 8723 non-Jews in the Land of Israel. In my opinion, all inhabitants of the land 8724 must respect the Sabbath outwardly in order to show that they respect the 8725 people and the Name.

The customs of the place 8738 are not only a recognition of Jewish ownership of the land but also the 8739 adoption of the ways of the settlement, such as respecting religion or 8740 respecting the Sabbath. They are of course exempt from the Sabbath laws, as 8741 long as it is in their home, but they will not flood the roads with their 8742 vehicles and will not operate commercial and entertainment establishments 8743 that are in conflict with maintaining the holy atmosphere on the Sabbath. The 8744 suspension of work performed in public (except for essential services) will 8745 be recognized as part of their sincere desire to integrate into society and 8746 perhaps even join the Jewish people as righteous aliens.

Assuming that 8762 only Gentiles in the status of immigrants will be allowed to live with us in 8763 the Land of Israel, the Torah asks us something similar: "You shall not 8764 do any work, you and your son...and your neighbor who is within your 8765 gates" (Deuteronomy 5:14). The second reason is the metaphysical reason, 8766 which means that the land must rest in a practical way every Sabbath and
8767 every seventh year. The rest of the land goes beyond the people's duty not to 8768 desecrate the Sabbath individually. The outward sanctity of the Sabbath is a 8769 national matter in the broadest sense. The obligation of Gentiles to honor 8770 the Sabbath can be justified by the fact that by their very existence in the 8771 Land, they accept the supremacy of the Torah, and moreover, by their loyalty 8772 to the Jewish people they rise to the rank of immigrants in the broadest 8773 sense of the word. My gut feeling says that the land does not distinguish 8774 between Sabbath desecration committed by Jews or by non-Jews, the 8775 responsibility is ours. If we allow immigrants to live in the land, we must 8776 also be responsible for ensuring that the atmosphere of the general Sabbath 8777 is not spoiled, because everything will ultimately come to our account.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 8778 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 8779 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 8780 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 8781 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 8782 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 8783 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 8784 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 8785 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 8786 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 8787 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>The Torah 8788 says: "And the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to make the 8789 Sabbath throughout their generations an everlasting covenant, between me and 8790 the children of Israel it is a sign forever, for in six days the Lord made 8791 heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed" 8792 (Exodus 31:16-17). From this verse, the Sages learned: "There is no 8793 Sabbath that is void of Israel forever." Desecrating the Sabbath is a 8794 contradiction of the covenant with God (and in effect, abandoning Judaism). 8795 The meaning of the covenant is that the people of Israel will inherit the 8796 land as promised in the covenant between the two halves. For example, in the 8797 verse ("To your seed I will give this land...") we see again the 8798 inseparable connection between honoring the Sabbath and our right to the 8799 land. Hence, the meaning of desecrating the Sabbath is a mortal injury to <span 8800 class=GramE>ourselves</span> and a betrayal of the sanctity of the land of 8801 Israel. Additional evidence of the metaphysical connection between the 8802 Sabbath and the Land of Israel can also be learned from the prophets and 8803 other sources. We have come to see that history occurred exactly as written 8804 in the Torah, as described, for example, in the rebuke "In My Laws" 8805 (Leviticus 26). Therefore, if we are guilty of grave betrayal of God, the 8806 punishment for violating the sanctity of the Sabbath and the Land of Israel 8807 will be, respectively, the desolation of the land from its inhabitants. We 8808 have all seen the practical expression of desolation in the very act of going 8809 into exile and destroying the land while abandoning it to the robbers who 8810 plundered it for two thousand years. If we do not learn from history, then 8811 the land will vomit us up again.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 8812 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 8813 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 8814 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 8815 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 8816 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 8817 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 8818 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

In my opinion, if it is a 8826 function that is truly a protection of life, such as security, it is better 8827 that it be performed by Jews, and if it is a question of protection of life, 8828 it is better that it be performed by gentiles.

For me, freedom of 8851 expression is the touchstone for society. Whether we will pass it 8852 successfully or unsuccessfully, only time will tell. A free press is a brake 8853 on the takeover of society by the forces of darkness, and freedom of 8854 expression is one of the important means to combat the forces of darkness, 8855 etc. It is accepted that this is also one of the signs of the maturity of a 8856 society that is able to withstand criticism (even if it is destructive 8857 criticism). The law itself requires the publication of wrongs committed in 8858 order to prevent possible continuation of the perverted behavior of public 8859 figures, primarily. Thus it is stated in the <span class=SpellE>Gemara</span>: 8860 "The flatterers are published because of the blasphemy of the Lord" 8861 (<span class=SpellE>Yoma</span> <span class=SpellE>Pu</span> 2). The value of 8862 freedom of expression is so important that it outweighs the fear of using 8863 harsh and offensive language. We prefer journalists who use harsh and 8864 offensive words to journalists who are afraid to speak. It is better to allow 8865 the use of words and nicknames, but the red line is lies and curses. A 8866 journalist who publishes a lie and is found guilty will be severely punished. 8867 The investigative committee that will examine the reliability of the report 8868 will be authorized to discreetly investigate the sources for that news. If 8869 there were anonymous sources, or well-founded and verified ones. If it is 8870 found that the journalist acted fairly and checked the reliability of the 8871 sources (theoretically, such a scenario is also possible), he will receive 8872 legal protection. The intention here is not to give freedom to incitement or <span 8873 class=GramE>violence,</span> these are serious offenses in themselves.

This committee will be available to all interested parties 24 hours 8933 a day and will be structured so that it can respond as quickly as possible 8934 according to the situation, out of awareness of the urgency of the 8935 journalistic reports. Similarly, in the event that a journalist is about to 8936 publish security information, the ethics committee will be able to guide him 8937 along the way or refer him to the appropriate authorities. It is worth noting 8938 that there is no obligation on the journalist or any other publisher to use 8939 the ethics committee, and its decisions are merely recommendations. It is 8940 also worth noting that every newspaper has an editor who, naturally, also 8941 filters news and articles that are worthy of publication according to his 8942 considerations, so that even if a reporter makes a mistake, there is an 8943 additional brake before entering a situation from which there is no return. 8944 However, if, despite all efforts, a journalistic publication is published 8945 that is not true or based on truth but is unjustifiably offensive, the matter 8946 will be investigated by the legal investigation committees and the punishment 8947 for those responsible will be in accordance with the severity of the offense, 8948 starting with a financial fine or the denial of the right to work as a 8949 journalist in the case of a minor offense without malicious intent, and 8950 ending with the death penalty in the case of incitement against population 8951 groups.

Other issues that require revision in the economy are the 9028 need to lower the tax burden on the economic system to encourage growth. 9029 Support for the weak should be provided in material rather than monetary 9030 terms. For example, one could apply <span class=SpellE>Jabotinsky's</span> 9031 principle of the five basic necessities: food, shelter, clothing, a teacher, 9032 and a doctor. According to this approach, people whose fate has not been 9033 kinder to them will receive a modest apartment in a housing project, and all 9034 their other expenses (electricity, water, food stamps) will be borne by the 9035 state in accordance with the criteria. At the same time, the public must be 9036 educated and brought to greater social environmental awareness, mainly 9037 through public involvement, helping <span class=GramE>those in need</span>, 9038 and sharing projects in the community. These will probably reduce the gaps in 9039 society. On the other hand, the establishment must also show that it treats
9040 everyone the same, not the privileged or powerful groups.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 9041 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 9042 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 9043 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 9044 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 9045 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 9046 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 9047 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 9048 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 9049 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 9050 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>One of the 9051 ugliest things is the phenomenon of corruption. Corruption can take several 9052 forms: financial corruption, organizational corruption, political corruption, 9053 or just bad deeds. This issue is very complex, and investigative committees 9054 may not always be able to put their finger on the sources of corruption and 9055 eradicate them, so it is most important that the public know how to identify 9056 situations that encourage corruption in their own backyard and deal with them 9057 accordingly. I expect the public not to cooperate and not to turn a blind 9058 eye. If someone who deviates from the right path sees that his friends do not 9059 accept his actions, he will understand on his own that his actions are not 9060 normative and it is better for him to change his ways himself. Changing the 9061 social standard in its attitude towards corruption is also incumbent on us. 9062 With proper education and ending with creating an appropriate atmosphere and 9063 the participation of the entire public. There are places in the world where 9064 the corrupt have no chance thanks to the standards by which the public judges 9065 itself. Part of corruption is taking high salaries without any proportion, 9066 which shameless managers take for themselves in public companies or even in 9067 private companies. If the public knew how to vomit such people, not to crowd 9068 around them or admire them, the managers would also know that it is better to 9069 meet the accepted standards even if the temptation is great and not to grab 9070 the altar horns and say I deserve it.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 9071 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 9072 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 9073 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 9074 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 9075 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 9076 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 9077 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 9078 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 9079 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 9080 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>In my 9081 opinion, the government should ensure that funds are poured into research and 9082 development, even if there are projects that do not succeed. However, the 9083 funds are not lost, because they provide oxygen for research and development 9084 in the long term, and hence strengthen industry and the economy. In addition, 9085 the government should initiate and finance the establishment of essential 9086 industrial plants that were decided upon as national projects of strategic 9087 importance. If I may mention a failed attempt Seemingly in the past, this was 9088 the Israeli <span class=SpellE>Lavy</span> fighter project, which, even if it 9089 cost a lot of money and was wasted, was by all accounts a vital project and 9090 contributed to other projects. This is the place to mention the shortage of 9091 manpower in simple jobs such as agriculture, construction and nursing. When 9092 the solution lies with us in the national service that I mentioned earlier. I 9093 propose mandatory national service, when the boys will serve a year in 9094 agriculture and construction as a commitment to the nation, while the girls 9095 will serve in the national service helping the elderly and in hospitals. 9096 There is no reason why this should not be done, especially in light of the 9097 Jewish principles of mutual aid and the guarantee of the individual to 9098 society and society to the individual. Of course, the national service 9099 volunteers will receive an equivalent value for their wages, such as housing 9100 rights and more. Foreign workers are a disaster from a national, economic and 9101 social perspective. The people must return to believing in themselves and 9102 their power to carry out the economic transformation in question according to 9103 the rules that will be detailed below.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 9104 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 9105 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

In my opinion, it would be better for the 9118 government to also initiate industrial projects itself, especially those that 9119 are investment-intensive and whose vital importance to the economy is clear, 9120 such as the automotive and aircraft industries. It is possible and even 9121 advisable for the government to establish publicly owned factories, and at 9122 the right time, when they can reach a balance, to privatize those companies. 9123 However, the government is prohibited from competing with the private sector, 9124 and therefore will only operate in the industrial sector where there is not 9125 enough investment. This can be called an integrated, centralized liberal 9126 economic policy, and as such, it requires a lot of thought and vision, and in 9127 my opinion it is the most appropriate for us. A comprehensive program in the 9128 field of employment will also answer the problems of the shortage of 9129 unskilled labor that we currently suffer from. Activating national service 9130 volunteers is only one way to deal with the issue. However, the state has the 9131 duty and responsibility to promote industry and agriculture that will be 9132 compatible with our era in which science has much to add, and with the help 9133 of full automation we can avoid establishing factories whose entire right to 9134 exist derives from the exploitation of cheap labor. Relying on cheap labor 9135 may prevent technological development in the future while leaving certain 9136 areas of production far behind. In this way, the economy will be able to 9137 direct more manpower to the areas of research and development, raise the 9138 standard of living of workers, and it will also be possible to direct more 9139 human resources in the theoretical and Torah direction. For example, it is 9140 possible to save most of the manpower employed in agriculture by using 9141 industrialized methods in agriculture that are currently well known in Israel 9142 and around the world. Improving construction methods will also allow for a 9143 cut in unprofessional manpower along with shortening the time required for 9144 construction and making it significantly cheaper. The state will not 9145 encourage the private sector with financial benefits, but it will greatly
9146 ease the bureaucratic burden and the tax burden. It is better to see the goal 9147 in a larger sense, which is to encourage economic development and encourage 9148 the productive sectors in the periphery, for example by allocating land or 9149 buildings at a reduced cost.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 9150 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 9151 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 9152 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 9153 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 9154 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 9155 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 9156 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 9157 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 9158 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 9159 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>It is clear 9160 that the success of the economy will be possible provided that the work ethic 9161 of both workers and managers is improved.

In the public sphere, the state will train managers (as 9167 it does today) and at the same time there will be a body that will monitor 9168 the quality of the managers' work. If criminal suspicions arise, the matter will 9169 be brought to the attention of judicial investigation committees that 9170 specialize in economic matters. These committees will also examine the 9171 private sector when managers, controlling shareholders, or service providers 9172 are suspected of breach of trust and embezzlement.

This food is not necessarily 9358 dangerous or defective and its advantage is better resistance to pests and 9359 improved nutritional quality. We must focus on land development, the 9360 development of recycled water sources for industry and agriculture, 9361 desalination technology, the utilization of solar energy, and more. I see 9362 agriculture undergoing A radical change from traditional agriculture to 9363 industrial agriculture. Some agriculture will also be carried out in 9364 factories in an industrialized and intelligent manner. Land will no longer 9365 have the same traditional role in agriculture and it will be possible to find 9366 better alternatives to expensive land. An alternative technology, for 9367 example, is hydroponic agriculture. No more crops that are at the mercy of 9368 the weather and its vicissitudes. No more crops that require a huge workforce 9369 with limited output per worker. With a not particularly high initial 9370 investment, it is possible to build habitats suitable for almost all types of 9371 vegetables in which the vegetables will grow separately from the ground 9372 (which will allow growth even in the seventh year) and in this way it will be 9373 possible to install growing beds on several floors, which will also allow for 9374 extremely fast and mechanized handling and collection, as well as automatic 9375 fertilization through irrigation systems. Automation should not be the sole 9376 consideration in determining the type of crop. There are crops that are 9377 attractive to mechanized farmers, such as cotton for export, but this also 9378 requires expensive water unless we manage to lower the cost through 9379 desalination methods. As Also mentioned in the chapter on environmental 9380 quality, agriculture should strive to avoid pesticides or switch to
9381 biological pest control. In my opinion, the experts of the Ministry of 9382 Agriculture should intervene more in the programs and provide price insurance 9383 to the farmer in order to maintain market stability. If the brokerage gap 9384 also decreases, then it is guaranteed that the price to the consumer will 9385 also decrease significantly. In industrial and developed agricultural 9386 systems, there is no reason to employ more than 3% of the farm's workforce. 9387 And if agriculture is managed scientifically, then a small number of manual 9388 workers will work in the field, while the rest of the employees will be 9389 engineers and managers. The lower number of manual workers required will 9390 allow for more intelligent use of national service volunteers who will also 9391 be employed in agriculture.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 9392 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 9393 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 9394 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 9395 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 9396 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 9397 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 9398 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 9399 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 9400 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 9401 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>The path and 9402 goals we must achieve in the field of agriculture are: to increase yield and 9403 productivity, to increase the utilization of land units and the utilization 9404 of the water available to us, to reduce manual labor in agriculture, to work 9405 to eliminate the use of hazardous pesticides and to switch to a biological 9406 pest control method, to develop a more balanced fertilization technology for 9407 the soil and healthier for agricultural produce, to adapt crops to climatic 9408 conditions, to carry out research and development with government support in 9409 the field of agriculture, such as improving the crop through genetic 9410 engineering, developing alternative agriculture (hydroponic), and more. I 9411 aspire to direct part of the increase in productivity in agricultural produce 9412 to the hungry in the world as support from the Jewish people. Since I believe 9413 that one of our roles in the world is to help the world in material terms and 9414 not just in spirit to all peoples, agriculture must be planned according to a 9415 maximalist approach and for this purpose research resources from the country 9416 and the rest of the world must be designated.

The state is permitted to lease the land for 9432 fixed periods. Private ownership of agricultural land by Jews and non-Jews 9433 will be possible but less acceptable. In this way, the state will also have 9434 more control over preventing the conversion of agricultural land into land 9435 for construction. The trend of landowners to dry out agricultural crops in 9436 order to illegally change the designation of the land will be stopped. Such 9437 speculation will be a violation of the law in all respects. To this end, the 9438 national order of priority must be re-determined and state land leased 9439 according to just and national criteria. Owners of private land that is 9440 expropriated will receive appropriate compensation, determined according to 9441 the value of the land and the price they paid for the land. It should be 9442 taken into account that many lands were transferred by the state to farmers 9443 without payment, and these did not always remain loyal to their land. 9444 Similarly, there are many state lands that were seized without law. The same 9445 will also be true for built-up lands that were seized illegally or built on 9446 illegally. There will be no better legal status for landowners, and those who 9447 refuse the compensation agreement determined by the state will lose. In any 9448 case, if the expropriation is decided, the compensation will be determined by 9449 a special committee of professionals with the status of judges, and the
9450 committee's decisions can be appealed in a district court. Urban construction 9451 can be directed to mountainous areas such as Samaria or the Golan Heights, 9452 where the quality of life is better and agriculture is inferior <span 9453 class=GramE>than</span> in the plains. At the same time, the green areas that 9454 still remain in the lowland and coastal lands must be preserved and even 9455 expanded. Invest in establishing large agricultural farms where agricultural 9456 and grazing developments will be implemented. Although the economic planning 9457 of agricultural resources will be at the state level, everything will be done 9458 to encourage large private entities to enter and invest in the agricultural 9459 sector. The entrepreneurs will receive help from the state with agricultural 9460 knowledge and technology, and they will be guaranteed minimum prices for 9461 agricultural produce and compensation in the event of natural damage.

Expenses are being saved in order to 9544 meet multi-year plans despite the cuts. The result is that the roads are 9545 being destroyed very quickly, and in the final analysis, the costs of 9546 rehabilitation are much higher. In addition, this also has an impact on human 9547 lives, which are priceless. Many roads were not built according to the 9548 standard or were built according to old standards while excessively saving on 9549 costs. The result is roads that are too narrow with sharp curves and steep 9550 slopes without adequate safety measures. Such roads are dangerous and require 9551 comprehensive re-planning. The construction and paving standard must be 9552 adjusted to the standards. An inter-urban road will have to be built 9553 according to the strictest standard that allows a twenty-year interval 9554 between maintenance instead of 3-5 years today. Such a road will have to be 9555 multi-lane, with at least 4-6 lanes, and will be built with separation fences 9556 and safety barriers. The intercity route will be carefully chosen and will be 9557 as straight and safe as possible, using tunnels, bridges and interchanges, and 9558 for the purpose of choosing the route, it will be possible to expropriate 9559 areas according to the public interest. Roads of this type will be able to 9560 contribute to reducing the number of annual road accidents. It should be 9561 remembered that saving human lives is like a huge saving in resources. It is 9562 clear that the higher the investment in roads, the greater the benefit to the 9563 economy.

I 9744 argue that there is a direct connection between the level of intelligence, 9745 for example, and the state of the environment. In an extreme case, it can be 9746 stated that the importance of the environment is like the Sabbath and the 9747 Torah. After all, both have an impact on the laws of life. We discussed the 9748 matter of keeping the Sabbath in the previous chapters, while we will discuss 9749 the matter of preserving the environment in this chapter. Our Torah is the 9750 Torah of life, this is the purpose of the commandments and this is the 9751 purpose of preserving the environment. The Torah refers to this issue in the
9752 context of the conquest and settlement in the Land of Israel, "When you 9753 besiege a city for many days to fight against it to capture it, you shall not 9754 destroy its counsel, nor shall you wield an axe against it, for you shall eat 9755 from it, and you shall not cut it down, for man is a tree of the field, to 9756 come before you in the siege" (Deuteronomy 20:19).

Cooperation in the IDF is even more important 9952 for the development of the nuclear fusion reactor that will be the ultimate 9953 source of energy of the future.<span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> 9954 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 9955 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 9956 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span style='font-size:14.0pt; 9957 font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi; 9958 mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'>With regard 9959 to the issue of global warming, it is clear that the phenomenon is becoming 9960 more extreme at alarming rates. Although it is difficult to solve such a 9961 problem within the limited framework of a plan for a Jewish state, the 9962 importance of the issue nevertheless demands it. The problem is so serious 9963 that it is not enough to reduce the use of fossil fuels and polluting energy, 9964 but rather we must begin planning the technology that will be able to return 9965 the situation to normal, by removing huge amounts of pollutants from the air, 9966 the sea and the ground. The more pressing issue at the moment is greenhouse 9967 gases, mainly carbon dioxide, which is responsible for the significant 9968 increase in the Earth's temperature. Today, for example, there is a proposal 9969 for a technological solution to greenhouse gas pollution by means of a system 9970 that could pump huge amounts of air into the depths of the sea and thus 9971 invest the carbon dioxide in the form of rocky sediments until its excess is 9972 removed from the air. Of course, this is not enough and this is just the 9973 beginning. However, I can already imagine biochemical systems that, using 9974 advanced methods of genetic engineering, will use engineered bacteria 9975 immersed in giant ponds so that, using sunlight, they will convert carbon 9976 dioxide into sugar, fuel, or other organic substances on demand. Later, we 9977 will create an enzymatic machine that operates without the need for the 9978 mediation of bacteria.<o:p></o:p></span></p> 9979 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 9980 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify; 9981 text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:normal'><span lang=AR-SA dir=RTL 9982 style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font: 9983 major-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font:major-bidi'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> 9984 <p class=MsoNormal dir=LTR style='margin-top:6.0pt;margin-right:19.85pt; 9985 margin-bottom:0cm;margin-left:14.2pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;

This 9991 situation reinforces the urgent need for a radical change in the system of 9992 government and the moral atmosphere in society in general. A radical change 9993 in the perception of life by the top brass of the establishment will also set 9994 a positive example for the rest of the public and public servants. A public 9995 servant must be responsible enough to notice in time if damage is being done 9996 to the environment, even if it is not in his area of ​​responsibility, 9997 and then cry out and warn if necessary. If they do their work out of a sense 9998 of national mission, they will be able to stand before the public with a 9999 clear conscience. I state this with great pain, since I know what <span 10000 class=GramE>struggles</span> those who are crazy about talking have to fight 10001 against an indifferent and flightless bureaucracy at best, or one that 10002 collaborates with interested parties at worst.

We must begin drafting a 10029 social charter today, and demand that every government consider the issue of 10030 environmental protection as the apple of its eye. All national and 10031 international aspects of environmental quality must be taken into account in 10032 order not to harm the future of human existence. From a practical 10033 perspective, urban construction must be limited to appropriate areas, a 10034 comprehensive water survey must be conducted throughout the country, and 10035 toxins must be prevented from entering our food chain and groundwater. The 10036 state must find alternative energy sources to stop air pollution by 10037 transportation, factories, and power plants. Protecting the environment also 10038 faithfully represents our true desire to follow the ways of God and to 10039 observe His laws so that we can serve Him for many years and with joy.
