The Third Identity and the Problem of Rabbis

שו”תCategory: generalThe Third Identity and the Problem of Rabbis
asked 2 years ago

Greetings, I very much identify with what you wrote on the subject of the third identity, but if this were a Torah path that logically would have been voiced by rabbis, but unfortunately all those “great men of the generation” from all sectors were not close to this in their thinking. I do not know a single rabbi who would agree to separate religion and state. I do not mean to say that only if rabbis think so is it legitimate, but perhaps the third identity really has no place within the Torah world? How does a rabbi establish a commitment to moral values ​​and democracy in the Torah world?

The whole point of the third identity is to be an alternative to the existing identities, including the “greatest generation” who lead them. A commitment to moral values ​​and democracy exists among many good Jews and rabbis, but they are not willing to admit it head-on and anchor it in necessity and hardship and hostility and fears. The reason for this is that they do not understand how this can be truly integrated. I have dealt with normative duality in several places. Mainly in the third book of the trilogy, and also in this article: https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-element-cse&cx=f18e4f052adde49eb&q=https://mikyab.net/%25D7%259B%25D7%25AA%25D7%2591%25D7%2599%25D7%259D/%25D7%2 59E%25D7%2590%25D7%259E%25D7%25A8%25D7%2599%25D7%259D/%25D7%259B%25D7%25A4%25 D7%2599%25D7%25A4%25D7%2595%25D7%25AA-%25D7%2591%25D7%2595-%25D7%2596%25D7%259 E%25D7%25A0%25D7%2599%25D7%25AA-%25D7%259C%25D7%259E%25D7%25A2%25D7%25A8%25D7 %259B%25D7%2595%25D7%25AA-%25D7%25A0%25D7%2595%25D7%25A8%25D7%259E%25D7%2598%2 5D7%2599%25D7%2591%25D7%2599%25D7%2595%25D7%25AA-%25D7%259E%25D7%25A7/&sa=U&ve d=2ahUKEwjp3Z2MjYiFAxWtQ6QEHUmdB0IQFnoECAQQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2jDrfIHVRwIN_98ObB51NS And also in column 541 on Halacha and morality.
