Synopsis: Today’s episode is a candid expression of my personal thoughts and feelings about the current situation in Israel. If this upsets you, I’m sorry, but I felt that it would be beneficial to honestly express my thoughts and feelings. As Rambam said:
“[W]hen I have a difficult subject before me – when I find the road narrow, and can see no other way of teaching a well established truth except by pleasing one intelligent man and displeasing ten thousand fools – I prefer to address myself to the one man, and to take no notice whatsoever of the condemnation of the multitude. I prefer to extricate that intelligent man from his embarrassment and show him the cause of his perplexity, so that he may attain perfection and be at peace.”
I hope that someone finds value in what I have to say.
