katan is scared to answer ?
.yankel berelParticipantagain mr some jew …
sh’a says clearly , and I am copying from your quote of shulchan aruch ….
כל העבירות שבתורה, חוץ מעבודה זרה, גילוי עריות ושפיכות דמים, אם אומרים לו לאדם שיעבור עליהם או ייהרג,
אם הוא בצינעה – יעבור ואל ייהרג
אם הוא בפרהסיא, דהיינו בפני עשרה מישראל, חייב ליהרג ולא יעבור, אם העובד כוכבים מכוון להעבירו על דת
clear as day that all averot besides the three , he should be over the issur …
betsin’a for sure
and also befarhesya if the one who is forcing does not want to leha’avir al hadat .
so , the one coming to murder , the one which necessitates the issur , he has no intention leha’avir al hadat
the din is ya’avor
not like maharal in his agada sefer
.
not a ‘bomba kushya’ – just pashut pshat …

why ?
is he scared ?
.August 28, 2025 11:51 am at 11:51 am in reply to: Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky and the modern State of Israel #2442379yankel berelParticipantthink we could start to agree
aaq is refusing to answer ….
so – seems like my initial impression was correct – he is lacking in the basics of yir’at shamayim …
.
am still happy to be proven wrong here ….

when is Square Root going to delete his motsi shem ra ???
.August 28, 2025 11:51 am at 11:51 am in reply to: Endless Enmity by Rabbi Steven Pruzansky 2025 August 8 #2442377yankel berelParticipantthe king converted after having already been king,
SO WHAT ? IF EXISTENCE OF A STATE IS ASSUR , HE SHOULD DISSOLVE HIS KINGDOM …..
—and that kingdom anyways didn’t last,
SO WHAT ? IT LASTED FOR QUITE A FEW GENERATIONS , NO ONE CALLED ON THEM TO DISSOLVE IT
—
not that it matters since he didn’t ask any rabbi for permission to rule as a Jew; he just did so.

It is there , black on white, in karyane de’igrata vol 1 .
.August 28, 2025 11:51 am at 11:51 am in reply to: Endless Enmity by Rabbi Steven Pruzansky 2025 August 8 #2442376yankel berelParticipantHashem sent us under the persian golus even with a temple
and then He put us under the greeks under galut yavan .
why should the oaths not apply ?
we were ,clearly by Hashems decree under galut yavan .
what right did they have to rebel against that ?
.
Source please ?

when are you going to delete your vile motsi shem ra rant about haredim ?
or alternatively ,
delete your multiple posts accusing others of motsi shem ra ?
.
.yankel berelParticipantWhen will square root take responsibility ?

… The establishment of a Jewish medinah is possible if the constitution of Torah is recognized as the basic constitution of EY, with Torah leadership governing the medinah …[moetetset gdolei hatorah – marienbad 1937]
.yankel berelParticipantThe following should really be posted –
Will you, moderator, please remove SQUARE from this forum.
Do we really need to hear his vile motsi shem ra rants about haredim here?
No we don’t.
.August 26, 2025 10:04 pm at 10:04 pm in reply to: Endless Enmity by Rabbi Steven Pruzansky 2025 August 8 #2441740yankel berelParticipantBottom line
that remains clear : khazar state existed under the jewish religion
the second temple was built under persian rule
afterwards it stood under greek rule
why is rebelling against greek rule not against the oaths ?
.
.August 26, 2025 10:04 pm at 10:04 pm in reply to: Matzav article about Golus and Eretz Yisrael #2441739yankel berelParticipantWhen I said they do teshuva , obviously , I did not mean teshuva gemura and there is no avera at all,
If that happened , then mashiach would have come .
that goes without saying.
I meant, they do teshuva and are at the same level as all other haredim are now.
—So :
the question is –
if all of the inhabitants of EY do tshuva and are nizhar in everything mamash , besides your interpretation of the oaths , is it permitted/obligated , to defend their safety and fight , in case they cannot run away / make peace / bring the UN / or any other possible etsah ?yes or no ?
and why ?
based on which halachik source ?

it seems you prefer asking over answering ….
.yankel berelParticipantI am specifically talking about pikuach nefesh here .
it is pashut in shas , poskim and shulhan aruch that besides the three hamurot, pikuach nefesh is docheh everything else .
you claim that the oaths take precedence over pikuach nefesh .
the gemara contradicts that
the poskim contradict that.
the shulhan aruch contradicts that.
.
.
I would like a direct answer please, not a sidestepping one .
.yankel berelParticipantIs Square root still standing behind his vile rant ???
and is he still accusing somejew and katan of being motsi shem ra and a rodef ???
WHEN WILL SQUARE ROOT DELETE THIS DESPICABLE POST ???

.August 26, 2025 10:04 pm at 10:04 pm in reply to: Reasons Why Chareidim Cannot Govern Eretz Yisrael #2441728yankel berelParticipantSquare root is a total embarrassment
He should delete his vile rant , full of motsi shem ra
He complains about rodaif , while he himself is one
He seems like one big hypocrite …

if the whole citizenry would keep all mitsvot , except for your understanding of the oaths , that is .
So the question is, again , in such a case ,
THERE IS NO AVEROT ,
besides the mere existence of the army , only as a shmira for a fully haredi citizenry ,
is THAT yeahreig veal yaavor ? yes or no ?
and why ?
what is the proof / source ?
please – no sidestepping
and , please a direct and clear answer
.yankel berelParticipantthat follows a pattern .
valid questions about immense claims consistently remain unanswered
under the illusory hope that they will be swept under the carpet
but guess what
the carpet is not big enough ….
.

think YYA , if he has real answers , he should publish them .if he does not , it should rightfully be considered as a concession to those concerns

sorry but you have not answered .
the question is , when faced with the absolute knowledge that those are going to be the results , no matter the advice you are giving them ,
You have 10 children – if you know that three of them are going to lose their religion because of their service , would you send them ?
You have 10 children – if you know that three of them are going to lose their health and come back as cripples because of their service , would you send them ?
keep in mind that neither [religion and health] are a result of any enemy actions , both are the result of internal army structure and command
If you could honestly answer both of those two questions …. without extra commentary.
.
..
yankel berelParticipantAm still waiting for square root to delete his unhinged rant
he should appeal to the mods to delete it
it is clearly defamatory
and clearly shkarim gasim

.yankel berelParticipant@aaq
there are plenty of kol koreh’s re the physical situation in EY .
we do say extra tehillim for years already , for the physical matsav in EY .
polls measuring the amount of time put in altruistic and voluntary work for others in the community , put haredim at a huge multiple when compared with hilonim ….
same with polls measuring the amount of finances given in a voluntary way to other people …
if there are people who owe some answers in that regard, it is the hilonim , not the haredim ….
.
.August 24, 2025 4:31 pm at 4:31 pm in reply to: Endless Enmity by Rabbi Steven Pruzansky 2025 August 8 #2441082yankel berelParticipantKatan :
I am not confused .
Steiple never said that the ‘existence’ of the state is against the oaths .
That’s sheker gamur.
The distorted torah you quote is a mirror of certain sects within satmar , who do take a literal approach to the holy satmar rav’s writings .
Many others take the SR writings as derech guzma , with the laudable goal of hitbadlut mei resha’im .
If not for the SR zatsal , most of the haredim would have been swept up in the zionist tsunami engulfing the whole Jewish world after the bitter losses of the second world war.
We all therefore owe the holy SR much hakarat hatov .
But that does not mean that everything he wrote was meant to be taken in totally literal sense.
And even if one does insist in taking all his writings literally , he still only represents a minority view in Judaism .
.yankel berelParticipant@izobar
Jobs which charedim typically do not take will need to be filled, be it in STEM fields or infrastructure and engineering. These are challenges Charedim are going to have to meet and I am interested how that will look given the current community aversion to these fields.
—
If there is a need , they will set up courses accommodating their standards.
I have a study partner who is a fully haredi engineer who is makpid on every halachik detail.
Do you think haredim cannot master engineering ?
I have a haredi neighbor who has a doctorate in mathematics, also makpid on every halachik detail.
Do you think haredim cannot master mathematics ?Community aversion is a consequence of the moral degradation of the surrounding society .
When the majority will be haredi this problem should have disappeared.
.August 21, 2025 8:53 am at 8:53 am in reply to: Endless Enmity by Rabbi Steven Pruzansky 2025 August 8 #2440563yankel berelParticipantexistence of the state is not against the oaths
establishment of the state may be a halachik transgression against the torah , because of the oaths [if you discount balfour 1917, san remo 1920 , peel commission 1936, partition plan 1947, international recognition 1948, and hasmatat hash’a and avnei nezer]
it says nowhere in the torah that a state should not exist
khazar state existed under the Jewish religion
chashmona’im state existed under the Jewish religion
.
so, to label it ‘kefira’ is far fetchedeven satmar themselves do not fully consider them as kofrim
their edut for gittin is not pasul
the offspring of the ladies post those gittin are lefi satmar, not mamzerim lehalacha
proof is in the pudding
look at satmar’s actions rather than listening to their rhetoric …..
..
yankel berelParticipantWe have to face the fact that we haredim are a persecuted minority in galut in our own land , between our own errant brothers , who are ready to use their majority , their power and any trick in the book, to ensnare us and our children in order to remake us in their own image .
this brings huge challenges and I am not mekaneh our leaders who have to navigate this
we need huge rachamei shamayim and be very determined ,clever and careful.
the rubbish somejew , katan and ujm are spouting is not only clearly incorrect , it also makes our position worse , and the rbsh’o should open their eyes, both , to the torah and to the reality we live in, and they should stop being the world war one soldier who is still fighting his old battles, in wars of the twenty-first century [language chazon ish used]
..
.August 21, 2025 8:53 am at 8:53 am in reply to: Matzav article about Golus and Eretz Yisrael #2440505yankel berelParticipantI left out one main point in the final question-
not only why , but ,
-based on which halachik source ?
.
.August 21, 2025 8:53 am at 8:53 am in reply to: Matzav article about Golus and Eretz Yisrael #2440504yankel berelParticipant@somejew
it was formulated countless times alreadythe question is –
if all of the inhabitants of EY do tshuva and are nizhar in everything mamash , besides your interpretation of the oaths , is it permitted/obligated , to defend their safety and fight , in case they cannot run away / make peace / bring the UN / or any other possible etsah ?yes or no ?
and why ?
.
yankel berelParticipantthe main problem in your approach is your ironclad starting point that your shitah IS THE torah view,
whereas I am attempting to start from WITHIN the accepted torah sources to establish as to whether the torah agrees with you or not ,
using time honored massa umatan kedarka shel torah as seen in the countless thsuva sfarim of our greats over the generations
if you cannot support your maskanot using those established processes , then your maskanot are null and void.
hope and expect you to agree
any approach lema’aseh we will adopt in regard to hishtadlut bimkom pikuach nefesh , will have be the same as the rabbanim adopted during all our previous generations bimkom pikuach nefesh .
if gdolei harabanim adopted a certain approach lema’aseh to hishtadlut bimkom pikuach nefesh , it is incumbent on us to do the same , notwithstanding any hashkafic background .
you speak as if your maskana is the torah and as if any question on it , is a question on the torah .
this is totally wrong
your maskana , is nothing more than your maskana , and any question on it from torah sources , is a challenge for you to prove your maskana right.
so this not a debate between the torah and the outside world as many of the arguments on these pages are .
this is , rather, a debate , within the torah.
hope and expect you agree
.
yankel berelParticipantyou think haredim can’t run a medina ?
then you also should think haredim can’t run a city .
haredim are currently running cities in EY and in the US
so why would they not be able to run a medina
they will learn …
.yankel berelParticipantSquare root is very concerned about motsi shem ra … and rodaif …. of certain specific people
but he is blind to his own motsi shem ra , blatant shkarim and rodaif of hundreds of thousands of innocent hardworking people.
Cf his totally unhinged rant a few post above .
Am wondering whether he forgot to take his tablets ….
If it wasn’t so terrible it would be comical ….

wonder why you think people don’t see through your tactics …
was mentioned countless times on these pages ….
.
.yankel berelParticipantLol.
Banishment of corruption and inconsideration is a precondition of establishing and maintaining a state …this sounds comical , as the most inconsiderate and corrupted of people succeeded in maintaining a state for over 8 decades now ….
It seems rather that corruption plus inconsiderateness are prerequisites for maintaining a state
any further commentary is totally superfluous …

if the whole citizenry would keep all mitsvot , except for your understanding of the oaths , that is .

THERE IS NO AVEROT , NO HILLUL SHABBAT , NO GILUY ARAYOT .
only the mere existence of the army , only as a shmira for a fully haredi citizenry ,
is THAT yeahreig veal yaavor ? yes or no ?
and why ?
