Q&A: Where Is the Boundary of Legitimacy?
Where Is the Boundary of Legitimacy?
Question
There are many good Jews who are unwilling to accept what seems to them to be a moral and value-based deterioration of the Jewish people living in Zion.
What is morally legitimate?
Teachers shutting down the school system so as not to submit to Avi Maoz’s dictates, especially regarding the content?
Not showing up for reserve duty?
Moving high-tech and the economic centers under their management to other countries?
Sending a son/daughter at age 18 to spend several years studying at a university abroad?
The question is of course about those who have the money and the ability to do the above, and who are not willing to be the donkey carrying the cart—economically, academically, morally, and professionally in many areas—which, as they understand it, has become unworthy and very far from an exemplary society, certainly not the vision of being “a light unto the nations.”
Answer
There is no boundary at all. Each person should do whatever they want and think is right. It’s all perfectly fine.
