Re: the last part of the episode, I would have thought that in milchemes mitzvah we do *not* ask the question. Forgive me for not remembering which Chazal this is, but in "ki tetze l'milchama al oivecha", the question is asked why does the Torah bother to specify al oivecha - does one go to war against his friends? And the answer is, we must see the enemy as an enemy and nothing more, because when we start asking questions of morality, we lose the necessary fervor to secure victory. Thank you for another great episode, I welcome your response!
ReplyDeleteOne is not supposed to be lenient with the combatants. It does not reference non-beliigerents. On the contrary, we have the remarkable halacha to not impose a hermetic siege.
DeleteIt seems to be on again, but in a different venue, and a different format. Maybe they listened to Rischa. :-) www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/israel-news/2318717/thousands-expected-at-monumental-atzeres-tefillah-in-lakewood-to-support-acheinu-bnei-yisroel.html
ReplyDeleteDo we have any published teshuvos from Chareidi Gedolei Torah over the past year opining on whether this is a מלחמת מצוה and if so what is the appropriate halachic action to take?
ReplyDeleteNot of which I am aware.
