OPINION & COMMENT Now is the Time to Make a
Difference
The right reason to vote is that we are bid to do so by the
gedolei ume'orei hador, whose advice and rulings we
follow in every important area of life.
Speaking before the elections of 5715, Maran HaRav Aharon
Kotler, zt'l, said, "These elections are also a
survey. Everyone is asked if he accepts upon himself
Ma'amad Har Sinai as well as kedusha and
taharo, or the opposite. . . . Whoever votes for the
Torah list is mekadesh sheim Shomayim in public . . .
one who does not participate allies himself with the
rosho and bears responsibility."
Kabolas HaTorah and The Final
Redemption It is written in parshas Yisro 19:4, "Vo'eso eschem al kanfei neshorim ve'ovi eschem eilai, and I carried you on eagle's wings and I brought you to Me." Rashi explains, like an eagle that carries its nestlings on its wings. Leftist Fanaticism There was a neck-and-neck race in the last elections, for the fourteenth Knesset, between the various candidates for the position of Prime Minister of Israel. In the end the race was decided by a mere half of a percent. This realization has naturally caused considerable tension in the current election campaign, and especially among the heads of the big parties. Living with Kovod "Bnei Yisroel shall camp with each person near the banner having his paternal family's insignia. They shall camp at a specified distance around the Mishkon." (Bamidbor 2:2) Extending for eight miles, the encampment of Bnei Yisroel in the desert was certainly a breathtaking sight. Millions of Jews living in magnificent order; and in the center was the Mishkon. This Torah Shall Not Be
Exchanged Standing at the foothill of Mt. Sinai, the Jewish People received the Torah. And from that very moment onward, the Torah has remained in its hands. The Giver of the Torah explicitly said: "For I have given You a good doctrine." And therefore, it is coupled with a request, "Do not abandon My Torah." The Torah is in your hands -- guard it! Do not forsake it!
