200 on an
average day, 500 per day before a holiday, and 800 per day during times of war…
This is
the number of text message questions received by Ha-Rav Shlomo Aviner
Shlit"a. With unwavering dedication to the Nation of Israel, an amazing
breadth of Torah knowledge, and an incredible gift for brevity, Rav Aviner
personally responds to each and every question – whether with a prompt and
concise answer, or, in the case of more complex issues, with the suggestion
that the questioner call to discuss the matter in depth.
Short and
Sweet is but a small sampling of Rav Aviner's never-ending stream of text
messages –a window into a new genre of Q&A, borne of modern technology
but firmly rooted in traditional rabbinic responsa. Like the millions of little
dots that comprise a pointillist painting, these individual responsum coalesce
to form a meaningful picture: one that depicts our relationship to the Nation
of Israel, our attachment to the Land of Israel, and our love for the State of
Israel, Tzahal and the Torah of Israel.
