Leaving their anachronistic Ideology aside, one cannot forgive that they failed to learn the profound significance of the Redeeming Captives mitzvah, which until their dying day, is not to be forgotten. Woven into our historical biography, Hasidic leaders take this mitzvah seriously, and wandering from town to town, use their influence to secure the release of captives, whether through the collection of funds or any other means of advocacy. Even more remarkable is the fact that according to this view, human seed squandered in sin (God forbid), is also regarded as "captive souls" which might have been born, and who are now lost "in exile," and only the gathering of the dispersed seeds can return them to their true place in the celestial halls. And now, in a bitter irony, we find ourselves trapped in a struggle for power between the two" Metsias " – the Gvir’s son and the Smoked- Tricks, who hold the entire nation by the balls, each of them claiming "They are mine" (Baba Metzia -1,a). As I set off on my usual Friday ritual - to read coffee and drink a book (not a mistake) I heard a remarkable interview on the radio with Mendel Roth, a son of the revered Rebbe Gedalia Moshe Rata, the leader of the Shomrei Emunim community, which originated in Mea Shearim. At the age of 33 Roth decided to enlist in the "Hasmonean Brigade", the first ultra-Orthodox military unit. His words sent a chill down my spine when he confessed to the interviewer, "I realized that I could no longer stand idly by without taking part in this great, vital enterprise called the IDF." And so, hope returned to me that the "Metsias" are nothing but a passing phenomenon that, with Messiah's help, will soon leave us. And with the joy which only the Hasidim feel, he belted out the song he wrote: "I run to battle, here I am" "I saw an ancient nation which renewed its youth Fighting like a lion and destroying its foes… I saw a heroic people with a heart of gold... And I raised the flag - I run to battle I run, I run, I run, I run…Like King David, like Samson the Hero Like the partisans who fought for the light…" Blessed is the nation who believes its believers. Architect Dr. Ami Ran One must hear it to believe... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKAUOW-wf9Y דבר העורך
