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.

Mid-Winter Musings

We now enter the depths of this winter, with a long stretch between the afterglow of the lights of Chanukah and the dawning of the joy of Adar and Purim. Furthermore, there is an extra month between them with this year being a Jewish leap year. During this winter we might feel particularly down. I refer, of course, not just to the lack of holidays, but to the continuing pain of Israel’s war with terrorists in Gaza and on other fronts. We are still processing the cataclysmic loss and pain of the murderous attacks of 10/7 as more and more details come to light. Every day, alas, we hear of more hostages murdered, and more and more of our best and brightest killed in the IDF’s war against our implacable enemies. Those we have lost are: Wonderful people still in their teens who had whole, brilliant, lives before them. We have lost those who are parents and grandparents, brothers and sisters. We have lost great scholars of Torah, artists and scientists, doctors and nurses, craftspeople and t

Bnai Torah Rabbi's letter - mid-winter

Dear All, We now enter the depths of this winter, with a long stretch between the afterglow of the lights of Chanukah and the dawning of the joy of Adar and Purim.

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
