I personally th...Regarding interesting post no. 7,<br /><br />I personally think the Prayer for Government is an application of Avot 3: 2,<br /><br /> רבי חנניה סגן הכוהנים אומר, הוי מתפלל בשלומה של מלכות--שאלמלא מוראה, איש את ריעהו חיים בלעו<br /><br />which I take to mean, that we should pray for the well-being of the government, even as oppressive as the Roman( or if you want, the Czarist), because the alternative, Anarchy, is much worse. If so with oppressive governments, how much more so with more tolerant ones. <br /><br />Based on that, I always had a problem understanding why, in Israel, <i>Ashenazim</i>( and not just the <i>Neturei Qarta</i>) generally( except for the Zionists) don't give any prayer for the State, by whose grace they live and prosper.Tamirnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-88129713909684194242009-09-20T23:41:10.740-04:002009-09-20T23:41:10.740-04:00thanks. i'll keep it in mind.
