Q&A: Ben-Gurion, of blessed memory, annulled it.
Ben-Gurion, of blessed memory, annulled it.
Question
For some reason, the Rabbi seems to have overlooked that Israel’s Prime Minister, Ben-Gurion, of blessed memory, held a ceremony and annulled the ban on Spinoza.
And from the days of the ban until the days of Ben-Gurion, there was never a situation in which a person from Israel was chosen to lead by a majority of the nation, and those in the Land of Israel are what is called the people.
If so, seemingly, in the discussion about bans and so on, this case should have been treated as an exception, since they held a ceremony in which the ban was annulled.
Isn’t that so?
Answer
It wasn’t Ben-Gurion but Klausner. Ben-Gurion only wrote an article in Davar. But this question is mockery, so I won’t elaborate. Ben-Gurion also abolished the Sabbath and eating kosher, so maybe we should give that up too?!
