Hachrazah 5783 Av 10
Informal translation from Hebrew of the 10 Av, 5783, (19 July 2023) statement:
Sanhedrin - The Great Court of 71
Secretary: Rabbi Amnon Hever Tel: 054-9400909 b.d.hartzion@gmail.com
At today's Sanhedrin meeting, it was unanimously decided to publish the following message on all Sanhedrin websites and Sanhedrin-related news websites.
Torah opinion on the sanctity of the family and impure pride
Background
In recent years, the incitement to lose and distort one's sexual identity has been increasing. The incitement is in all the media, and even enters schools. The incitement arouses opposite tendencies in the children. In the long term, this causes them many damages, such as: increasing the chance of suicide, mental and social problems, serious illnesses, infertility and losing the ability to have children. This incitement is supported, among other things, by parties interested in thinning out world population, within the framework of a secular world order. These entities finance films and television series, which aim to introduce these distortions in any way possible.
While in the past they focused on the call for tolerance and inclusion, today they focus on the call for "pride", which is also expressed in the gagging of people who dare to express an opposing opinion on the subject.
The prophet Jeremiah says: "Wander in the streets of Jerusalem, and see now and know, and seek in its squares, whether you will find a man, whether there is one who performs justice, who seeks faith, and I will forgive her." (Jeremiah 5:1) It is very important that people of faith demonstrate in the streets the opinion of the Torah in favor of the sanctity of the family.
Declaration of the Court
We call on every Jew to protest in any legal way possible against the impure "pride". Expressing the Torah opinion in favor of the sanctity of the Jewish family is a training, including in the media and social networks, and not dressed up by mockers and dictatorial mouthpieces. We will emphasize that we are not against people who suffer from the opposite tendencies, but on the contrary, we want to help and save them from incitement, which mainly harms them.
And thanks to our intercession from below, we will receive help from above, as it is said: “On that day you shall not be ashamed of all your deeds [with] which you rebelled against Me, for then I will remove from your midst those who rejoice in your pride, and you shall no longer continue to be haughty on My holy mount." (Zephaniah 3:11).
