Reply To: Rabbi Moshe Sherer and the modern State of Israel

Rabbi Elchonon Wasserman lived from 1874 CE to 1941 CE.

He never saw the State of Israel in 1948 CE.

He never saw Israel’s victory in the 1967 CE War, which was
“miracles”, according to Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky ZTL ZYA,
and “great miracles”, according to Rabbi Moshe Sherer ZTL ZYA:

__________________________________________
Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky ZTL ZYA said this about Israel’s victory in 1967 CE:

“At the same time, he [Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky]
disagreed with the view of the Satmar Rebbe
that the miraculous Israeli victory in 1967 [CE]
was the work of the sitra achra (satanic forces):”

[Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky said:]

“I deny that miracles can emanate from a destructive satanical force.
Miracles of such magnitude can only be performed by a force for good.”
.…
“If only the Israeli government had also recognized
Hashem’s miraculous deliverance in 1967 [CE],
he added, history would have been changed.”

of Rabbi Moshe Sherer, chapter 22, page 547:

In a fascinating letter to Rabbi Menachem Porush,
written half a year after Israel’s dramatic victory
in the Six-Day War [in year 1967 CE], Rabbi Sherer
agreed “that what transpired were great miracles.”
