Comfort keeps people home — as Rabbi Landau teaches it
By Rabbi Shalom Landau.
Rabbi Landau teaches that rabbi Landau's reading of an election is not that people vote when they are angry. He teaches that people act when they have suffered enough, and that supporters who have been made comfortable stay home. Feeling powerless for a long time is what finally makes pain stronger than inertia.
