On video: Chief Rabbi of Israel Yitzhak Yosef: If they force us to go to the army, we will all go abroad/use according to Section 27 A of the Copyright Law
For some reason, I was not convinced by the operational validity of Rabbi Yosef II, who claimed: "The yeshivas and kollelim hold the world together", "the state exists on the study of the Torah" and "the secular must understand that without the Torah, the army would not have been successful".
Reverse, Gotta.
He was right in only one thing: "We saw how the army succeeded on October 7."
That's how it is with rabbis, they were always a bit of a charlatan.
But what happened to God?
Once he could be trusted.
Fast and nervous like a common Israeli.
And there are plenty of examples: a bit of disobedience on the part of Eve Amnu and her partner, who got involved in a garden party with the fruits of the forbidden tree, and Eden Chuzalesh. Bad social relations in Babylon, alongside unnecessary engineering vanity - straight up a flood on the head. Anal sex and questionable hospitality - and oops , gone Sodom and Gomorrah. Someone messed with his children in Egypt, and here you have a mass drowning in the sea.
But in recent years, God seems to have gotten tired. Pogroms, Holocaust, Biden, Gaza, leftists who forgot. And he - nothing.
And as he weakens, his illusion establishment gets stronger and stronger, and Yitzchak Yosef will prove.
Quite a few new believers are joining the ranks of the disillusioned.
Domes, mezuzahs, tefillin bastes, "with God's help" as an economic policy, red threads and graves of righteous people.
And hatred, a lot of "healthy Jewish hatred", for anyone who dares to doubt something.
It is somewhat understandable, when the secular state has failed in all its areas.
When the revered leader is revealed in all his lies and deceit, what is left for man?
"We have no one to lean on but on... the one who always let us down."
To overcome the oxymoron, the believers developed an impressive loop.
Everything that is good is proof that there is a God.
All that is bad, as sinful and disastrous, is the result of human sins.
Perfect: God is the head, while man is always responsible.
The Holocaust was because of the reformers;
Because of the LGBTs - the attacks; and because of the Shabbat party in Nova, the Gaza Strips were destroyed. And God? There is no one but Him.
Here is a primitive classic by the late Ovadia Yosef: "Wonder if, God bless you, soldiers are killed in war, when they don't keep Shabbat, don't keep Torah, no They pray every day, they don't put on tefillin every day, is it any wonder they get killed?
no wonder.
May God have mercy on us, bring them back in complete repentance, they will all go there to a good life and peace, they will overcome their enemies."
Once he could be trusted.
Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef/Walla! system, L
And without a smile.
The Holocaust, human cruelty in general and the Simchat Torah massacre compel those of conscience to face the religious challenge.
The basic premise of the Jewish faith - and perhaps of other faiths - is that the entire religious structure is built on three pillars:
The belief that God and His words are understandable to us.
The belief that God is (or is) omnipotent, until there is nothing that he is not capable of.
The belief that God is a merciful and generous God, most gracious, good and benevolent.
But the events of the last generations and the last few months are breaking up the threefold structure.
If God is understandable to us and yet he is responsible for all this enormous evil, it means that one of the following two things is wrong with him.
Or he is not omnipotent - and therefore cannot stop the devil from going on a rampage;
Or he is not good and benevolent, so he doesn't care about wild human evil.
And if after all he is omnipotent, and everything is from heaven, then maybe he is actually not completely understandable to us.
And in any case, all the nonsense of the rabbis and their establishments are just... nonsense.
And on the third hand, if he is understandable to us and we are directed to his will and he is omnipotent, it is possible that he simply does not want to stop all these atrocities.
So there is no escaping the conclusion that he is simply not good and benevolent, and that evil is part of the divinity.
No matter how we look at it, we have to come to the conclusion that the old faith structures have become meaningless.
Indeed - there is still no complete religious answer to the three earthquakes shaking Jewish existence: the secularization of the modern age, the Holocaust born out of modernity - and the establishment of the State of Israel, which came out of both.
There are many rabbinic verbal pranks around us on the subject.
The constant extortion of feelings of guilt, built into the Judeo-Christian culture, is very suitable for a human infinity of faithless robots;
Robots who turned the Jewish Burinism into the theory of the Israeli majority.
And regarding Yitzhak Yosef's threat "If they force us to go to the army, we will all go abroad" - I have never heard such a delightful threat. Travel in peace and remember: "Wherever Israel discovered, Shekinah found with them". Take it with you
