So now Lieberman is demanding:

1. Army conscription law;
2. Civil marriages;
3. Easier conversions;
4. Kosel compromise bill;
5. Core education requirements for Hareidi sector; and
6. More chillul Shabbos.

At least you won’t have to, C”V, vote.

Well done, folks.

Regardless of whether Zionism or Israel’s existence violates the Torah, the fact is that there is nothing that can be done today to undo what was done. We are about to get a unity government led by secularists that will likely exclude the religious parties. If you did not vote, then you are supporting a secular government that will do things to undermine Judaism and the learning of Torah.

Grey Matter, what do you mean by “if”. The Rebbe all but explicitly said that he was Moshiach. Anyway, the concept of emunas chachomim relies on redundancy. Even if one rabbi is secretly off, most of the rabbis won’t be off. Basing your religion on the word or deed of one person is very dangerous.

@gershig32, if you need a tzaddik to accomplish things, how would you know that a particular rebbe is a tzaddik? Throughout history, we have had great leaders who turned out to be rashaim.
