On Sun, Sep 12, 2021 at 7:36 PM I sent the following query to ASk A Rabbi at Aish Torah:
I read a commentary that the reason that a rement of jews refused the L-D command to go to Babylon and went to egypt was because they did not have a complete trust in the L-D. Is it this same attitude that compels some Jews to try to see a Utopia on earth at the expense of Being Jewish-even going against the word of the L-d against making agreements with nations that hate Jews and even sacraficing Jewish Lives and settlements for the swan song of "Peace"? In view of such actions is the only way a devout Jewish Person should not act in these ways is to trust the L-d totally and live the Torah in their lives? and if they should see their brethen rebelling against being jewish and refusing correction-should a devout Jewish person not turn their back on them in self rightious but should instead pray to the L-D that those brethern realize what a mistake they are dong in their lives?
On Sat, Sep 18, 2021 at 5:03 PM I received the following Answear:
Dear ,
Thanks for contacting us. I am not totally clear on your question. However, part of standard Jewish tradition and practice is follow the guidance of our great scholars who utilize their understanding of the Divine will to best deal with all situations that arise. At times the approach is one of kindness and compassion and compromise and at times it is one of devotion and strong adherence to our tradition.

Query about taking a fanatic vow:
Question:
The following query is about a fictional person: A renowned Scholar is visted by a Jewish person who becuase he was raised in a non Torah athestic household is spitually alone_he begs the Scholar to teach him the torah;however when he mentions that he lives in Tel Aviv, that scholar orders him from his sight shouting that he has taken a vow never to help any State of Israel person in any way; shape or form. Now the query is:By his actions has the scholar violated the following about Jewish persons? That those who know the Torah must teach it to those who do not and that by refusing to help a lost jewish person who is trying to find spiritual meaning in his life, the supplment could feel anger and rage at all religious oriented jewish persons?
How can a scholar avoid becoming a fanatic?

Hi ,
Thank you for your question and sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
It is tough to answer a hypothetical question, especially one that seems so unlikely. It would certainly be inappropriate for a Torah scholar to drive someone away from Torah study, simply because of where they live.
As for the more general question of avoiding "fanaticism", I refer you to this reflection written by Rabbi Tzvi Freeman - www.chabad.org/52686. The actions you describe seem to be driven by emotion without thought, which makes it all the more important that the mind control and guides the emotions.
If you have any further questions, please let us know.
All the best,
Rabbi Shlomie Deren
