It is essential to point out my friends, the Torah is neither a liberal nor conservative “document”, it is a Divine “document”-no one should lay claim to it exclusively. Legal & moralistic positions can be derived from Torah, political opinions can’t. To attempt to fit the American political system to Torah is impossible, there are too many variables. Eg.-we can’t support total abolition of abortion, since halachically there are situations when it is necessary r’l (save life of mother for instance).
Rabbi Shmuel Bloom recently authored an article in the Yated, in which he poignantly points out that the Jewish community has been & is served well by both parties in varied issues & situations.
