The State of Halacha

asked 6 years ago

Shalom Rabbi, happy holidays. I would be grateful if the Rabbi could describe as much as possible what his model for a Halacha state is and whether today’s Halacha state is a correct model? If not, does the Rabbi think it will be correct in the future? Or is this an outdated idea that no longer has a place?

In general, ‘a Halacha state today’ is an empty phrase. The citizens of the state are not committed to Halacha, so how will a Halacha state work? This is the kind of question that is a shame to bother with. In the future, I think and hope that there will be a Halacha state. Its main concern is that its Jewish citizens observe Halacha. The law book will look very similar to today’s law book (with the necessary adjustments for the time), but the judges will wear tailcoats (if they don’t abolish it by then).

In the Rabbi's opinion, what will the country look like in terms of culture and economy?

מיכי Staff replied 6 years ago

I didn't understand the question. I wrote that by its very definition, if there were a Halacha state, it would conform to Halacha. Anything beyond that, I have no idea.

But ultimately, the law also presents a certain economic model (leket, schacha, paa and the like). How will this be reflected in the economic approach that will be practiced?

I can only repeat again: This will be conducted according to the halakha.
You can go through all the halakha in all parts of the Shul and ask, and then copy this sentence over and over again.
I don't really see where you're going.
