Reply To: Is Israel bent on losing their protection?

writersoul -“Health- when one says that when the population grows, the learning population must increase proportionally, one implies that it’s all in the numbers and percentages, which is honestly more than we mere mortals can say.”

Maybe it’s more than you can say, but anyone with common sense could say it.

“After all, we do know, for example, of how Riba”z asked Vespasian to save R Tzaddok, as in the merit of his fasting Yerushalayim had been saved for 40 years. Does that mean that there were no others who had enormous merits (including, unquestionably, Riba”z himself)? Of course not- but even one person’s kochos and efforts can reap enormous dividends.”

Noone is arguing that some people might have bigger Zecusim than others or not. This is Not something that I have knowledge about. So I’ll assume that most people are around equal when it comes to Torah learning – so if this is the case – the more the better, and Not just more guys in learning, but also a greater percentage of Torah learners.
