以色列國防軍的突擊隊拉比對重建第三所聖殿並非開玩笑
IDF’s Commando Rabbi Wasn’t Joking about Rebuilding the Temple
IDF’s Commando Rabbi Wasn’t Joking about Rebuilding the Temple
July 9, 2018
Captain Rabbi Avrumi Levin: “In case the Temple is rebuilt, consider this [Tisha B’Av] document null and void.”
Next week is Tisha B’Av, the Jewish people’s national day of mourning. It is the day when the Jewish people fast and mourn for the long list of tragedies that befell the Jewish nation over the millennia, particularly the destruction of the two Temples in Jerusalem.
It is not uncommon to hear people say that they will be reading Megilat Eichah (Book of Lamentations) at such and such place, unless the Mashiach (the Messiah) comes first or the Temple is rebuilt – as by most rabbinical opinions, Tisha B’Av will most likely be cancelled as a day of mourning when that happens, or at a minimum, many of the practices will change.
The rabbi of the IDF’s special commando unit is no exception.
Captain Rabbi Avrumi Levin sent out his Tisha B’Av halachic (Jewish law) guidelines to the soldiers in the commando unit where he serves.
At the end of his letter he added, “In case the Temple is rebuilt, consider this document null and void.”
This of course makes perfect sense, as when the Temple will be rebuilt, the laws of Tisha B’Av in that guideline will become irrelevant.
Needless to say, Uri Misgav, a writer for the far-leftwing Ha’aretz apparently found it offensive and religiously coercive that the good rabbi would consider the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple a reasonable possibility. On his Facebook post, Misgav writes that he actually considers that option scary.
Israeli right dreams of third temple in Jerusalem
