Jewish warfare. Halachic inquiry
« on: April 03, 2008, 01:29:34 AM »
I was wondering if we could start a topic devoted to the halacha regarding Jewish warfare.  Topics range from Amalek, to regular enemies, to milchemet mitzvah, to treatment of captured/civilians, enemy territory, what is permitted against enemy forces with what limitations in brutality if any, etc.   I know little on this topic but would really like to explore it in depth and find out in the Torah how war is really supposed to be fought.  All input welcome, please comment in here anyone with knowledge on the subject.

Check Ore Harayon - Rabbi Kahane's book. Their is 2 volumes (I believe this is in volume 2). It is wayy too much information to type in a post, but you can learn a lot definitly.

The Academy of Elijah taught, whoever studies the laws (of the Torah) every day, (he) is guaranteed to have a share in the World to Come.

‏119:139 צִמְּתַתְנִי קִנְאָתִי כִּישָׁכְחוּ דְבָרֶיךָ צָרָי
My zeal incenses me, for my adversaries have forgotten Your words.
‏119:141 צָעִיר אָנֹכִי וְנִבְזֶה פִּקֻּדֶיךָ, לֹא שָׁכָחְתִּי.
 I am young and despised; I have not forgotten Your precepts.

" A fool does not realize, and an unwise person does not understand this (i.e. the following:) When the wicked bloom like grass, and the evildoers blossom (i.e. when they seem extremly successful), it is to destroy them forever (i.e. they are rewarded for their few good deeds in this World, and they will have no portion in the World to Come!)

Thanks, Tzvi. What is the English translation of "ore harayon" ?

Oh, it's the Jewish idea.  Never mind.
