I have been sending out daily Torah Thought emails since 1997. I created this blog to provide an archive for, and a forum for discussion of, these emails.
All points of view are welcome in this forum, if expressed civilly (as defined by my ear, since this is my blog). However, this is not a place for publicizing personal manifestos; feel free to start your own blog for those.

National priorities
Hi,
"After the Six-Day War, when a Torah scholar and professor came to Rabbi Tzvi Yehudah Kook and asked him why he did not begin to build the Temple, he responded, 'The mitzvah of building the Kingdom of Israel takes precedence, according to the ruling of the Rambam at the beginning of the Laws of Kings.'"
(Rabbi Shlomo Aviner, Sichot HaRav Tzvi Yehudah, Chapters of Messiah 4:Talmud Torah 1 addendum 2)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
