Recipient: Zev Gluskin, the head of Carmel Wine and the Organization of Wine Producers.
Body: It is very unpleasant for me, but I am compelled to speak briefly about that which happened to Mr. Z.G. (by chance the same initials as the addressee). Any attempt to [allow a defendant to] run away from the laws of Israel in the Land of Israel, when he is aided by formal helpers from among the public attorneys, will always remind me of the bringing of Pompey to the gates of Jerusalem by two litigants, Hurkenus and Aristobolus. How damaging was that litigation!

Of course, my complaint relates to the people who are overjoyed to involve themselves in the litigation of the aforementioned Mr. G., and have troubled themselves to remove it from the framework of our holy Torah. It is so upsetting to me that they are supported by our distinguished Organization of Wine Producers.
Mr. G. said that he would accept even a panel chosen by zabla (each litigant picks one dayan and those dayanim choose a third dayan), just that he wants that the third, central dayan should be a Torah scholar, one who has familiarity with the judgment of the Torah. Is this a travesty?! Is the Torah so despised that it "can’t even be served for dessert" (based on Petichta, Eicha Rabba 10)!? If even this is not acceptable to the other side, and my rebuke will be treated like a voice that calls out in the desert, at least the two sides should choose the two sides for a panel of zabla to decide who will be the central dayan for the panel, and the decision of that preliminary panel should be followed.
I know that you, my honored friend, are not involved in this matter, but I have no one else to speak to that there is a chance that people will listen to; only you are the one who might be able to help.

Various Events FOR WHOM NOT TO VOTE
Rav Zvi Yehuda Kook stressed that Israeli politics is G-dly, so I have no problem answering this common question on a Torani blog. Also, Free-Will is a G-d-given right and obligation, to "destine one's fate" (R. Soloveichik, Kol Dodi Dofek, 67), so I obviously don't tell others how to vote. But once not a few (especially young) have already asked, a couple of personal words from experience and thoughts from chazal & Rav Kook which may be of help to others, mainly for whom NOT to vote.
