About time: Interesting commentary. However, I think you are a bit confused about “Fiscus Judaicus”. This was not started by the Romans to wipe out Torah. It was done as a retaliation against Jews, who revolted against Roman rule. Honestly, what would you expect? I’m not defending it, but this was a typical response by the victors in that time. I fail to see what this has to do with the draft. The chilonim want you to share the burden. You can’t understand that? Suppose they proposed that for one year, they don’t work or serve in the army, and you take their place. Would you agree? If not, why would you expect them to agree to the current situation?
