Settling the Land: the Rebbe vs R.Kahane
« on: May 22, 2017, 08:29:15 AM »
When the Jew is in Galut amongst the goyim, there's a time to do things on the quiet.

When the Jew is in Eretz Yisrael - yad Yisrael b'tokef - there is a time to do things with maximum fanfare to publicize the Kiddush Hashem & His mastery over the Earth: this was R.Kahane's fearless shitta - to literally be in the world's face.

Apparently the Lubavitcher Rebbe held that even in Israel, things should still be done shtillig - on the quiet - Galut style, without enraging or agitating the gentiles

With hindsight, which was the most effective way to settle the Land?

And today?!

9 out of ten times, the less said the better.  And I always try to follow that rule when dealing with people.   Sometimes I mess up. 

Except with Rabbi Kahane.  He's the exception to the rule.  He was one of kind.

Here's a song from 1960 about talking too much.

An even better 60s song about not talking too much!
