Don't believe in Science!

 Science is a matter of knowledge rather than belief.

Belief can be countered by the suggestion that "I believe differently" whereas knowledge is subject to empirical investigation.
This is exactly why there is so much rejection of medical expertise at the moment: Many people have confused knowledge with belief.
One believes in a given political system -it is very hard except in extreme cases to demonstrate that one system or approach is absolutely better than another.
It takes centuries to decide a debate of this sort. Therefore politics and philosophy remain in the realm of belief.
Science either stands up to scrutiny or doesn't. Since our knowledge is always changing and growing, what we know today is incomplete compared to what we will know tomorrow.
As Jews, Jewish law and ethics require us to make our decisions on the basis of the best knowledge held by the mainstream of each profession in any given moment in history.
Does that mean that medicine found in the concise code of Jewish law from 1871 it's going to be different than the medical ideas found in a modern book of Jewish law? Certainly!
Nevertheless God requires us as Jews to follow the Torah's demand that we define reality by the best available widely held expert understanding when we need to make decisions on the basis of our best understanding of reality with regards to matters of Health, life and death, economic matters, and so on. So too with regards to military matters.
All human knowledge is a fungible form of knowledge - unlike the Torah which is immutable knowledge. We are still commanded by the Torah to define reality by this imperfect and dynamic human construct.
The Torah does not change but the input into the system of the Torah is the input of our best grasp of reality at the moment.
This is the will of the Al-mighty and as our knowledge changes we will follow the conduct suggested by those new paradigms
Judaism forbids us to ignore human knowledge even though it is by definition imperfect and absolutely subordinate to the dictates of the Torah.
We have an obligation to avoid that which the present state of knowledge says is dangerous to us or to others, and take those steps that said knowledge defines as salutary to our health.
So of course - when there is a vaccine for COVID-19 we are obligated to be immunized. The same applies to all vaccines viewed as essential by the mainstream of medicine.
That is the unequivocal stand of the Torah.

A Wonderful Article on Gazaa by David Harris of the AJC

Hypocrisy! by David A. Harris Executive Director American Jewish Committee January 26, 2009 Dear Ms. Trine Lilleng, You were an unknown Norwegian diplomat till this month. No longer. As first secretary in the Norwegian Embassy in Saudi Arabia, you recently sent out an email on your office account in which you declared: "The grandchildren of Holocaust survivors from World War II are doing to the Palestinians exactly what was done to them by Nazi Germany." Accompanying your text were photos, with an emphasis on children, seeking to juxtapose the Holocaust with the recent Israeli military operation in Gaza. Clearly, you are miscast in your role as a diplomat, all the more so of a nation that has sought to play a mediating role in the Arab-Israeli conflict. In fact, you're desperately in need of some education. Let's begin with your current posting. You've been in Riyadh since 2007. If you're so anguished by human rights violations, perhaps you could have begun b...

Reality is Perception

Parshat Bo: Moses is told “This renewal (of the moon) is the first of renewals (of the moons)”. With these words the Jewish people were given their calendar, one using lunar months but faithful to the seasonal cycle of the solar year. Unlike the solar year, where nature undergoes fundamental changes throughout the cycle, the lunar cycle engenders no changes to the moon or indeed, the earth. The only substantial change is our perception of the moon –how much of it we, on Earth, can see. This tells us something powerful: Count, live, according to the Moon, to your perception as articulated in the Torah. What is ultimately important is not raw existence- but how we perceive it, how we use it, how we elevate it. We perceive the Brightness of the Moon -e.g. the G-dly presence and potential in using the world for the positive things we are asked to do. We perceive the Darkness- the negativity of relating to the world in way we are asked not to it. It is this perception that we choose; thi...

Lag BaOmer and Ahavat Yisrael: Our son Moshe's Bar Mitzvah speech

BH 5727. 1967. 49 years ago the Land of Israel and her people stood alone facing Arab armies far larger and better equipped than Israel’s, armies ready to attack at any moment. This was a time of great danger. Fear entered the hearts of all Jews everywhere. Like this year, 5776 -  5727 was a year of Hakhel – gathering:  In ancient Israel, every seventh year was a  Shemitah  ("sabbatical") year. At the onset of the eighth year, on the second day of the holiday of Sukkot, sixteen days into the new year, all gathered in the Holy Temple for a dose of inspiration to tide them over for the next six years of wordly endeavors. This event was known as  Hakhel , "assemble!" It was the only event that required the attendance of every Jew, women, men and children, reminding us of the historic moment when our nation stood at Mount Sinai, when every member of our nation was present when G‑d lovingly gave us the Torah. Once the entire nation had gathered, the king, si...
