Following "A Philosophical Look at Contemporary Controversies"

Peace and blessings to the Rabbi!
I heard your lecture at Cafe Luda on YouTube on the above subject and also read the recent columns you wrote on the subject, and I thought I would draw your attention to Rabbi Kook's reply, which seems to me to be related to the subject.
I will point out that although I am quite sure that you know the answer, and perhaps you have even thought about it in connection with what you wrote, I still said that I would bring it up just to be on the safe side.

This is the book Orach Mishpat by Rabbi Kook, Hilchot Dayanim, Section 2 (I was exposed to the answer following a YouTube video by Rabbi Uri Sharki, the 16th, "Responsa HaRosh on Following Many to Hear").

Finally, Rabbi Kook claims that each of the parts of the public has the right of a partner, and therefore it is not appropriate to say that its part will be canceled by the majority, and if there is a part of the public that does not have representation in the public leadership, then it will not be possible to come to it with claims that it is withdrawing from the public.

As I understand it, this is the current situation in Israeli society. There is a public that has no representation in the government, and as things stand (the relative increase in the number of religious/national right-wingers from year to year), it will not have any in the future, and therefore it is frustrated and breaking the rules of the game.

Although my wife claims that he does have representation in the Knesset, the LDP currently has such coalition discipline that the Knesset has almost no meaning, but mainly the government (if I remember correctly, in the past it was more acceptable to give MKs freedom to vote, but today everyone has to align with the coalition agreements).

If I understand correctly, Rabbi Kook is referring in his remarks to the general public in general and not necessarily to halachic matters or disputes between communities of observant Jews.

Happy New Month and thank you very much 🙂
