BeEzrat HaShem
Back to Q&A

Here is one of the questions, chosen randomly: When the secular Israeli government finally does something that aligns with Torah law - destroying symbols that glorify evil and violence against Jews - what is our obligation as religious Jews? Should we support this action, and what does it teach us about the difference between Jewish law and the nations of the world?

When the secular Israeli government aligns with Torah, it's like a broken clock being right twice a day. We commend specific actions that align with HaShem's law, not the government itself. Such occasional correctness does not alter their fundamentally anti-Torah nature or systematic opposition to our values. Torah law is eternal; secular laws are transient. Our allegiance is solely to HaShem and His Torah, overriding secular law when it conflicts. True Jewish security stems from Torah adherence, not human government or military. Therefore, support righteous actions, but never confuse them with endorsing a government fundamentally opposed to everything we hold sacred.
