Must Churches be Torched in Israel?
The Positive Torah Mitzvah to Destroy Idolatry
If You Find an Idol Must You Destroy it?
Aiming for a Pure, Holy and Idol Free Israel
I believe it is important to heighten awareness – through peaceful means – that the appearance of idols in Israel is a serious Torah infringement. Living in an egalitarian, tolerant world, makes it challenging to regard the sight of any church in the land of Israel or the rest of the world as a desecration of Hashem’s name. Yet, despite, desiring a pure, holy and idol-free Israel, it makes sense to me that we need to exercise patience and restrain ourselves from taking the law into our own hands – walking around smashing idol worship in Israel or anywhere else – until the Oneness of Hashem will be revealed to all. Let us pray that this day will come speedily and in our time
The current state of Israel is a waypoint on the journey to the final redemption and the establishment of a proper Torah state in Israel.
ReplyDeleteIf we don't have that yet then we need to look at ourselves and ask why.
Right now, the self-declared holiest amongst us look at themselves, and say "Well we're perfect so it must be everyone else's fault." The rest of Israeli society also tries to blame "the other guy" for society's problems. Ultimately that infighting stalls out journey forward. It's why we don't have The Temple Mount and why churches and mosques are found throughout the country.
Our priority isn't to remove avodah zarah but to first create a unified, loyal Jewish society.
