This is War over Life and Death, Whoever Votes Gimel Should Merit to Long Life -- R' Eliezer Berland Shlit"a
SHIUR FROM SUNDAY NIGHT ABOUT THE OBLIGATION TO VOTE âThen on Tuesday [today, at the time of writing], everyone goes to vote, even though there are many ballot slips of âEmetâ [the ballot symbol of the leftist âLaborâ party], no one should vote for âEmetâ â no way! Even if itâs written âEmet [meaning âtruthâ in Hebrew],â we donât vote for âEmet.â Then only Gimel (United Torah Judaism)! âEveryone should vote Gimel, even if they will say to you what they will say to you, anyone who votes Gimel should merit to length of years, because now they are going to fight a war against the holy Torah, to uproot the Torah, to uproot the Yeshivot, to uproot all religion from the country!  There are people here who have decided to uproot everything. They are saying this in public, and this is a war face-to-face. These are not elections at all. This isnât relevant to elections. All of those who are banning the elections have no place in the World to Come, because this is a war over life and death. Like they said, that there wonât be Hitler. Everyone said that there wonât be Hitler. In the end, there was Hitler. All of these are reincarnations of Hitler, and now this is a war over life and death, or thatâŚÂ And if not, then all the children will be secular within a year! The goal is to turn the children secular. Lots of children are abandoning [Judaism], are on the way to abandoning. The moment that there will a government of the people of today, then everyone will be secular without a doubt; all the children will lose the way. âThis now is a war over life and death. Once they would fight with guns, today they fight with ballot slips! This is a war in which whoever wins will live; whoever doesnât win, theyâll burn him alive. Therefore, weâre requesting that everyone, at eight in the morning, everyone will already be voting. At eight in the morning, the Rav will already be at elections, will already be there at the voting station. Everyone at eight in the morning should already be at the voting station, and after this itâs possible to do what you want, to travel to Uman, to travel to America, to travel to Buenos Ares. Whoever doesnât vote has no place in the World to Come!â ANYONE WHO HASNâT YET VOTED, HAS UNTIL 10 PM TONIGHT TO VOTE. PLEASE MAKE THE EFFORT TO GET TO THE VOTING STATION WHILE THEREâS STILL TIME!
