He talks like a sophisticated satmarer chosid. He sees no reason of Israel as for security, just it saves Klal Yisroel from assimilation, on that view the offical line of satmar is to disagree.
I cannot understand what about the 5th of Iyyar makes anyone think the day is worthy of saying Hallel. All that happened on that day 67 years ago was that a piece of paper was drawn up and signed by a group of dignitaries in Tel Aviv in the morning. Then later that day 7 enemy armies invaded and began a war that killed 6000 Jews and who knows how many non-Jews. Why would anyone say Hallel over such a thing!?
Being a bannana state of USA is the main point of rav yoel kahan's responce to ויואל משה... Ie we are not revolting against the goyim... We do what they want... עיין שם

Explain me chanukah and I will explain you 5th of Iyar
It's from David Holzer's book "The Rav, Thinking Aloud" where he prints taped conversations with Rav Soloveichik. For Rav Soloveichik's other shita on the Medina, see Kol Dodi Dofek.
Kol Dodi Dofek is a tape of a famous speech he gave in honor of the eighth Yom Ha'atzma'ut. The tapes in Holzer's book were of shiurim or private conversations.

פיין געזאגט. וואס דען דארף מען זאגען וועגען הלל? עי' תשובות מבשר טוב פון הרב משולם ראטה פאר אן אנדערע מיינונג.
ReplyDeleteAnd bigger surprise about his whole attitude to the medina. Wasn't he the head of mizrachi in America at one point?
ReplyDeleteNot such a big surprise that he says the Ramban was mai'ain R' Chaim.
Hirshel, what book is this from? I'd like to read more of it.
ReplyDeletedunno, JS. sorry.

ReplyDeleteIts strange that Reb Meshulem Roths response is based on a teshuva in chasam sofer..
which obviously the Rav does not discus...

ReplyDeleteIs kol dodi also from tapes or from talmidim?
