DIN: In the video below, you have "debate" between Rabbi Elchanan Shoff and Rabbi Michal Weichbrod
I am in the midst of taking apart this discussion and exposing the half-truths and all lies of Rabbi Shoff!
The below article is a response to a recent podcast debate between two American Rabbis who discussed whether Othodox (frum) Jews in America should be making aliyah now. The entire debate can be seen above.
The question is asked. And after the Sydney massacre it is being asked again. It is whispered in the shuls of Brooklyn and shouted in the study halls of Lakewood.
We hear the great excuse, the terrible shield behind which the American Jew hides his fear and his comfort.
"How can I make Aliyah? What about the children? What if they go off the derech? What if they fall?"
And so, to "save" the children, we sentence them to the graveyard of the Exile.
It is madness! It is a tragedy of logic that only a Jew in Galut could invent. You are afraid that in the Holy Land, the land God’s eyes are upon from the beginning of the year to the end, your child will lose his way? But in America- the land of filth, of materialism, of the worship of the Golden Dollar-there he will be safe?
