His comment of "great and small alike" was written in line with (and, by being a completely out of place statement, to implicitly challenge) Rav Amar's implication that some may not be on the proper level to bring the Korban Pesach. It was a rhetorical tool which was apparently lost on you.yoni r.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-32402369625732119872011-04-14T16:39:27.431+03:002011-04-14T16:39:27.431+03:00every Jew, great and small alike.

If the Arabs get word that some rabbis say that we should/can bring Korban Pesach this year, they will most likely get very upset. But if Israel's official religious adjudicator says that it's nonsense, then the government can point to that to diffuse any potential point of conflict.<br /><br />Remember that anything having to do with Har Habayit is a sensitive topic to a lot of people, some of whom have a track record of violence. This was a politically (not necessarily religiously) astute statement for the Israeli government's official rabbi to make.<br /><br />It's always important to bear in mind that the opposite of <i>emet</i> is not <i>sheker</i>, but <i>shalom</i>.yoni r.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-88739859608690058732011-04-14T11:57:23.886+03:002011-04-14T11:57:23.886+03:00New things?
