[Avodah] Ikkarim Redux

Much discussion has been had here re :

Bris  Avos and Bris Sinai


WADR, RYBS never suggested that Bris Avos was more important a  consideration 
than Bris Sinai, but rather a factor that was a very important  bulwark 
against assimiliation in the post Holocaust Jewish world. In  fact,  in Chamesh 
Drashos and elsewhere, RYBS emphasized that we should never come to  the mistaken 
conclusion that Medinas Yisrael is a more important value than  Elokei 
Yisrael. In another shiur on the Aseres HaDibros, RYBS emphasized in the  aftermath 
and as a critique of the resolution of the Langer case by R Goren ZTL  and the 
role of Mizrachi in Israeli politics at the time , that Melech Elyon is  
always superior to Melech Evyon and that Knesset Yisrael should never view  
Medinas Yisrael as taking precedence over Elokei Yisrael.
