Lichvod Rabbi Jacobson Shlita
I was very inspired by your video that was posted on one of my whatsapp chats on Parshat Mishpatim and especially your point that Hashem needs us, Am Yisroel, to testify for Him.
Rabbi Jacobson: Parsha Mishpatim - Being a false witness is unique to any other sin, Part 2 of 3*
Isaiah 43:12
וְאַתֶּ֥ם עֵדַ֛י נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֖ה וַֽאֲנִי־אֵֽל:
My thoughts:
If the Nation of israel is required to be G-d's witness, it follows that its leaders and by extension, the Nation, needs to publicly testify that The Land of Israel belongs to G-d and that Hashem Alone, designates and has Chosen and entered into a Covenant with Israel exclusively. Israel has the sole rights of ownership of the Land if israel and has been Chosen to be the caretaker of the Land of Israel, keeping it's commandments, whose boundaries are delineated in the Torah.
Who if not us must testify and bear witness that Har HaBayit, Judea and Samaria does not belong to the Government of the State of Israel, aka GOI, nor to PM Netanyahu nor Bennett nor to former President Trump and/or his Orthodox Jewish advisors. No one, can give away something they do not own. Any attempt to do so is null and void. A Palestinian State therefore is not on the negotiating table and can never be an option. This is consistent with the MGH Resolution at Marienbad in 1937.
Another example:
Amiram ben Uliel's forced confession for the Duma arson is Halachically null and void since according to Halacha one can not testify against oneself and there was no other witness to implicate him.
Will a fair trial and investigation of the entire Duma affair implicate higher up's who sanctioned torture to hilltop youth under the false premise that they are terrorist ticking time bombs?
A third example:
We need to insist that Ahuvia Sandek's murder be investigated. The Tik, the investigation, can not be closed unless the evidence and testimony, the full picture, of what really happened that night, to a young Hilltop Youth allowed to bleed to death after a police chase comes to light.
Will such an investigation implicate higher up's as well? Why the cover up? How can similar situations be prevented in the future?
אל תעמד על דם רעיך
All three scenarios are really stemming from the same root mainly that the Land of Israel belongs to G-d. We testify this by keeping the Laws of Shemittah. Our rights to the Land of Israel is dependent on the Nation of Israels willingness to be a Jewish State and observe Hashems commandments on the Land.
It is very plausible that Duma arson and Ahuvia Sandak's murder were politically motivated and a politically necessity by an evil regime.
Hilltop youth need to be demonized and blood libeled and are simply pawns used by political forces to justify the position that Israel is simply a State for Jews no different than any State. If Jewish Terrorism exists, nurtured by the Settlement movement then destroying Jewish Settlement is then justified and giving away land in the heartland of Eretz Yisroel to non Jewish Authority for political payback is therefore an option and permissable.
The root of the matter is a refusal to acknowledge that Israel is a Jewish State bound by G-d's laws our H-ly Torah.
Towards this end, the Hilltop Youth and all Torah observers and believers who stand for Jewish Sovereignty and Torah Sovereignty in Eretz Yisroel, and those who proclaim Hashem as King, need to be discredited by anti G-d forces. That is the root of the matter at the Kotel as well. The fringe Reform and Conservative Jewish movements are legitimized as authentic groups in spite of their rejection of thousands of years of determining Jewish law, and specifically in redefining Who is a Jew thereby creating disunity and conflict.
It's a package deal. Hilltop Youth need us to testify on their behalf...on Hashem's behalf on the Settlers behalf and on the Torah's behalf .
Our Torah can not be mere lip service and nice Shiurim without Halacha leMaaseh.
Up in Shamayim isn't one who could have testified and didn't Chayav bidei Shamayim?
Grama?
If Agudah can issue a petition and proclamation about the Kosel, surely they can also proclaim that any political agreement granting rights of Sovereignty for Palestinians is null and void. The life sentences of Amiram ben Uliel and the recent decision to close the investigation against the police responsible for the murder of Ahuvia Sandek is a travesty of Justice.
The recent struggle to respect the status quo and keep the Kotel under the Jurisdiction of traditional religious authority would then be hopefully resolved because what is happening at the Kotel is a mere symptom of our collective failure to testify on G-ds behalf.
When we as a Nation are truthful Aidim for Hashem, BEH the people will respect the rulings of the Rabbinic Leadership as being authentic and Emes.
Not to speak is to speak.
Hashem is waiting and needs our testimony.
Bracha VeHatzlacha
