All I now is that I worked for former New York Governor Pataki. During the election to become governor he swore that he would reinstate the death penalty. After the victory however when it was time to get my payoff job and I requested the position of State Executioneer they said that I was crazy and that I should turn in my clearnece card to teh executive chambers. I still 17 years later fail to understand what I did so bad. I am still for the death penalty but not for legal murder. And unfortuantely that is what the death penalty means to me
BSD: What can we do about this? We can start by reading the biographies of our leaders from 2 or 3 generations ago and how they were willing to live without virtually anything just to be given the chance to rehabilitate the beloved garden of G-d. Stories like Moshe Dayan that when he would need a new pair of trousers would take hsi fathers old pants and cut them down to size and when buying new furniture meant taking a shipping container and renailing the wood so it would make a table or chair. People like Dovid BenGurion who when he moved to the beloved garden was told that he should leave before he would die of malaria and while he still had money only to write in his diary why are these people speaking to me in yiddisih. He also broke up with his girlfriend Rachel because she was not working hard enough. People like Golda Meir that left a comfortable teaching job in america to be a communist in a kibbutz draining swamps and working for Solol without knowing if her checks would bounce. That is the way to succeed. Lower ones standards in the exile so that one can have a share of the Beloved garden of G0d
Let me add to my previous post. What is “publicly breaking shabbot”? For example even though the halacha is very clear that we go ON SHABBOT to war to defend grass in a border town so that the goyim do not get a chance to enter, I see plenty of allegedly shomer shabbot jews that would never serve in tzahal. Am I allowed to eat by them? These Jews however are dressed as if they were religious and who know that a jew without a head covering was not raised in an envirenment where shabbot was not stressed as much as it should. As a matter of fact the Ari Hakadosh who lived several hundred years ago stated no jew is a bimazid sinner.
This question is ONLY for those in the exile since we have been saying since the 7th of heshvan tan tul umater
