The Ends, The Means, and Religious Political Parties (Season 2 Episode 1)

October 18, 2018 4:12 pm

In our last episode, we asked if the ends justify the means in Torah Judaism; the answer, we stated, must be a resounding NO. Nevertheless, in the realm of politics in Israel, religious political parties often act as though any means – including the violation of Halacha – is acceptable in the service of reaching the parties’ goals.

In this episode of the Orthodox Conundrum, Scott Kahn looks at religious political parties in general, and why he feels that they are doing a disservice to Torah Judaism. Even more to the point, Scott argues that religious political parties are anti-Torah almost by definition. This is not a podcast that supports any particular candidate or party; instead, it’s a serious look at issues that are too often ignored, in the hope that listeners will perhaps think twice before casting their ballots – no matter whom they support. Listen to the podcast for a timely discussion you won’t want to miss.

#Republican former New Jersey @GovCTW calls #Trump's @GOP a "cult," and she believes a new, more centrist party could rise up in its place.

"I'm a firm believer that our country does better with two parties, a center-left and the center-right," Whitman tells @MargaretHoover.

The crisis of Orthodox teachers leaving... and not coming back. (And they have good reasons, too.)

"A government that arose through blind hatred, out of evil argument not for the sake of heaven... a cursed government..."

A thread about religious Knesset members and the language they sometimes use against their opponents.

So my @Delta flight to New York was canceled, after an initial leg from Tel Aviv to Boston. I was told by an agent this morning that I would be notified about any changes by email. Nope. I found out by showing up. Not cool, Delta. (Yes cool @7News who interviewed me just now.)
