Following the conclusion of the mass rally, the Gerrer Rebbe paid a special visit to the home where HaGaon HaRav Meir Tzvi Bergman, was staying. The two spoke for several minutes. Rav Bergman remarked, “I believe that from this rally must come a declaration — that no one is the ‘owner’ of the Torah, and therefore, no one can be given up on.” The Gerrer Rebbe responded, “Of course! Certainly! Richtig!”

?I believe that from this rally must come a declaration ? that no one is the ?owner? of the Torah, and therefore, no one can be given up on.? The Gerrer Rebbe responded, ?Of course! Certainly! Richtig!?
What does that mean? i assume it means that no one can go to the army because they may eventually learn. I guess. I suppose that the theory is that the “bottom” rung of that society would serve. I think — like with other exemptions the top 10% (or whatever) gets exempt and the rest dont. Not everyone has to be in combat. There are things and jobs to do. But sitting around — while others die for you — leave their families for months on end is immoral. But so is throwing soda bottles at reporters.
