Thoughts on the Yeshiva Draft and the Parshat Matot Maasei- Rabbi Pinchas Winston

The Rabbi raises important points from both sides that should be deeply considered.  This is not a simple issue.  My 2 cents from the "emunah front" are that we need to put extra focus into our Amidah , especially the brachot.   #1 The brachot about giving us daat.  We can pray for our leaders to receive Hashem's true daat about what to do in this situation.  #2 the bracha about "returning us our judges as in earlier times, and our conselors as at first; removing us from sorrow and groan; and reining over us you Hashem, alone." #3 Of course the one about bringing us your geulah with extra kavannah would not hurt either :)  There is confusion in the land and we really need guidance now more than ever so we can come out with more achdut through following the True will of Hashem ...May we be blessed to have righteous leaders who can hear Hashem's true voice and know how to guide us clearly in Hashem's path for us...
