It will be up to the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah to decide on weather to issue a statement on the Iran deal. The OU and RCA both issued a statement and plan on mobilizing shuls across America to lobby congress and ask for a better deal. Its always a tough question when you have a sitting president do you undermine his agenda? what about the potential dangers to the Jews in Eretz Yisrael? for this we have gedolim who we rely on they guide us and and direct us.
I would be shocked if they do. This is not our derech to criticize the government publicly about policy issues.

ReplyDeleteAgudah had no problem voicing theier opposing opinion regarding gay marriages. Why is the iran deal different?
ReplyDeleteOne is a religious rights issue, and one is a diplomatic issue. Big difference.
DeleteI don't care as much about their public statements as about their private meetings with officials. Do they take a strong line for Israel in meetings?
ReplyDeleteThe gay issue is a religious issue and the iran deal is also a religious isdue , its called ushmartem es nafshosaichem
ReplyDeleteAguda was very verbal about drafting yeshiva boys even though its political.
