Newsportal USENET - [Jewish] [alerts@ounetwork.org: Elections, Prayers, and Gefilte Fish]

Interesting that the Catholics are speaking out but not the Jews…..
Silence is compliance, and jews that are supporting Harris have lost
their minds.
No doubt Hashem is running this show, but we are creatures of free will,
and making choices that go against our Jewish moral compass reveals
again and again why we are doomed.

Father Vigano Labels Harris as an “Infernal Monster”

<div style="clear: both; margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: left;"><span
style="font-size:16px;"></span><span style="font-size:16px;">America
is a deeply divided country on the verge of a hard fought and highly
contentious election. We are working hard to get out the vote so that
our community’s voice and concerns will be heard and considered.
During these profoundly fraught times, we need elected officials at
every level of government who will uplift our country, lead it
effectively, and be responsive to the significant issues of concern to
our community, domestically and around the world. <br />
<br />
Where does God fit into this?<br />
<br />
Personally, I have found that the dynamics of
politics and elections tend to push God’s role into the
background, requiring real effort to remind myself of Who is really in
charge. This time around, that effort is even more needed than
usual.<br />
<br />
Our Sages (Avot 3:2) have taught us to pray for
the welfare of the government for were it not for respect for its
authority, “people would swallow one another alive.” The
Talmud (Avoda Zara 4a) amplified this teaching by citing the prophet
Chabakuk (1:14), “You have made humankind like the fish of the
sea, like creeping things that have no ruler.” Absent
responsible and effective government, we are left in a state of
anarchy where the powerful oppress the vulnerable in a manner that is
comparable to the law of the seas where the big fish are expected to
devour the small.<br />
<br />
That metaphor may lend insight to a relevant
feature of the flood that destroyed the world in Noach’s time.
The Torah (Bereishit 6:22) notes specifically that everything on the
dryland died, leading Rashi to highlight that the fish remained safe
in the deepest depths of the sea. Commentaries suggest that the fish
did not have to be destroyed as – unlike the animals –
they did not share the earth’s morally toxic environment with
people and were therefore not corrupted by them (Maharal Gur Aryeh).
According to the Ben Ish Chai and many Chasidic masters, this symbol
of immunity to moral corruption is what made gefilte fish a staple of
our Shabbat tables.<br />
<br />
There is, however, a different way to view it.
The fundamental failure of society in Noach’s time was in its
governance, as leaders used their positions to take advantage of the
weak rather than protect them (Bereishit 6:2, Ramban). They were
doomed to destruction by their divisions, in contrast to the builders
of the Tower of Bavel who valued peaceful cooperation (Rashi 11:9).
This is why their destruction came by way of a flood that made the
earth into one big ocean of anarchy, appropriate for the fish who are
meant to live that way but destructive to humanity who must not. We
may enjoy eating gefilte fish, but we must love and protect other
people.<br />
<br />
In our shuls every Shabbat we fulfill the
dictum of Rabbi Chanina to pray for the welfare of our government.
During this especially sensitive time with the future of our
government in play, America deeply divided, and an abundance of
anarchy on our streets, the time is right – <strong>especially
this Shabbat and next</strong> – to offer those
prayers with greater focus and intensity.<br />
<br />
And as we head to the polls to elect our
representatives in government for the coming years, we pause and raise
our eyes to recognize the One Who, regardless of who is elected, will
always be in office, the King of all Kings in Whose hands lie the
hearts and decisions of our human leaders (Mishlei 21:1). We daven
that these momentous and intense days usher in a period of greater
tranquility, cohesion, peace, and uplift for America, for Israel, and
for the world. Amen.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
<br />
Rabbi Moshe Hauer<br />
Executive Vice President</span><span
