PEOPLE WHO AREN'T TAUGHT TO BE GOOD WILL NOT BE GOOD.
HUMAN BEINGS HAVE A NATURAL INCLINATION TOWARDS EVIL
AS THE TORAH ITSELF TELLS US:
" KI YETZER LEV HAADAM RA MINEURAV "
THE HEART IS CREATED WITH EVIL AND THE GERMAN NATION INDEED EXHIBITED THAT.
THE ONLY WAY WE CAN BREAK OUR YETZER HORAH IS THROUGH TORAH LEARNING.
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF THE CHALLENGES THAT FACE KLAL YISRAEL BOTH IN THE DIASPORA AS WELL AS IN ERETZ YISRAEL TO-DAY ARE NOTHING NEW.
THE SUFFERING THAT THE ANCESTORS EXPERIENCED IN EUROPE, POVERTY, POGROMS, THE MASSACRES AND THE TRAILS OF THE WANDERING GAULUS YID.
WE EXPERIENCE THEM TO-DAY, ALBEIT IN SLIGHTLY MODIFIED FORM.
BUT HASHEM PROVIDES SALVATION IN EVERY GENERATION.
WHAT G=D INTRODUCED WAS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THE JOY IN LEARNING.
JOY IN DAVENING. JOY IN DOING EVERY MITZVAH.
ITS STRONG EMPHASIS ON UNITY, TOGETHERNESS AND THE SELFLESS LOVE OF ONE JEW FOR ANOTHER JEW FRUM OR NOT FRUM, TO THE POINT OF MESIRUS NEFESH.
THAT IS THE MESSAGE TO TODAY'S GENERATION IF WE WANT MOSHIACH TO COME SEE THE GOOD IN OUR FELLOW JEWS FRUM OR NOT FRUM.
THE FRUM IS STILL FRUM AND DOES NOT NEED TO BECOME NOT FRUM.
THE NOT FRUM DO NOT NEED TO BECOME FRUM.
READ THE RAMBAN'S LETTER HOW ONE SHOULD LOVE A FELLOW JEW EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THERE STILL CAN BE LOVE FROM A NETURI KARTE TO A ZIONIST, AND FROM A ZIONIST TO A NETURI KARTE.
HATRED OF ONE ANOTHER HAS ONLY BROUGHT US TROUBLE.
THE RAMBAN'S LETTER, IT IS TRANSLATED IN TO ENGLISH.
JUST TYPE IN IGGERES HARAMBAN.

Two basic attitudes towards the religious significance of the State of Israel are prevalent within the contemporary Orthodox community. The “charedi” (ultra-Orthodox) position contends that we can grant no religious significance to the State, and some even view the State as a negative phenomenon. The second position is the “messianic” approach, which applies to the Jewish State all the epithets with which Rav Kook zt”l described the State well before its establishment: “The foundation of God’s Throne in the world, whose entire desire is that God shall be One and His Name shall be One.”
Throughout the unfolding process of the Return to Zion, a difficult and painful problem presented itself: those who brought about the process were not Torah observant. It would have been far simpler were the return to the land to have been accompanied by a return to the Torah. Unfortunately, though, this is not what happened. The major personalities of the Zionist movement abandoned, for the most part, the religious lifestyle, and thus the return to Israel involved a rebellion against Jewish tradition and a rejection of Torah and mitzvot.
Rav Kook’s struggle with this dilemma is well-known: he consistently defended the secularists who built the country, insisting that one cannot judge them superficially, according to their actions alone. One must rather probe the general spiritual processes underlying the entire historical development, and thereby arrive at a deeper understanding of the specific spiritual phenomena occurring in those who live during this period.
Unlike Charedim, the DATI LEUMI and others will not undermine the importance or legitimacy of the State; but love for our country must not blind us from criticizing its shortcomings. We remain very, very far from the ideal Jewish State, and we must therefore do whatever we can to bring about its realization. A more just society and stronger public values are necessary prerequisites for its actualization. If we want to hasten the ultimate redemption, we must work harder to ensure moral values on both the individual and communal levels. We hope and believe that our State will develop into the ideal Jewish State, “the foundation of the Divine Throne in the world, whose entire desire is that God shall be One and His Name shall be One.”
ALL THE GEDOLIM OF PAST DID NOT AGREE WITH RAV KOOK
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT CHAREDIM PAST AND PRESENT
DID NOT AGREE WITH HIM
THE LAND OF ERETZ YISROEL WAS NOT BY THEM THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
LEARNING TORAH IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE MOST IMPORTANT ! !
