Sound the Shofar of Freedom

Three times daily we implore G-d in prayer : “ Sound the great shofar for our freedom.
” As we prepare to sound the shofar and usher in the new Jewish year this Sunday , it ’ s high time we assess the precarious state of freedom in our present day .
In case you haven ’ t been paying attention , freedom is in serious jeopardy here in the United States and around the world .
Fear and dread are historic ways with which tyrants have exploited populations to willingly cede their freedoms .
Pandemic panic and pandemonium have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can say “ social distancing , ” government has already begun to encroach on our precious freedoms in ways hitherto unimaginable .
Without any strict scrutiny , the state has shut down our houses of worship , banned our gatherings , violated our bodily autonomy , forcing masks on our faces , all without providing a shred of scientific evidence that asymptomatic carriers pose significant risk to anyone .
And they are poised to do much more… brace yourselves for adult vaccine mandates .
Truth be told , this sort of medical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years , government has enforced a mandatory vaccine policy on school-age children while we were asleep at the wheel .
They threw us a doggy bone .
“ Religious exemption ” was the paltry concession prize we were “ benevolently ” rewarded for tolerating their benign despotism .
And in recent months and years , just before the Wuhan virus was unleashed , states began to take back these religious exemptions , by default forcing all children to comply with their mandated vaccine policies without exception .
Of course , the state had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , since the First Amendment was inviolable to begin with .
In past articles,1 2 3 I ’ ve lamented the grave injustice of vaccine mandates altogether .
In the spirit of sounding the Shofar of freedom , let ’ s make it known to all that Judaism strongly advocates medical choice .
Vaccination must be a choice .
It may not be coerced .
If you want 99 percent vaccination compliance , move to Communist China .
It ’ s unattainable here in Land of the Free .
If you are so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t live in a free society where bodily autonomy and First Amendment rights are sacrosanct .
China might be a better fit for you .
They enforce compulsory vaccination with no exceptions , so you ’ ll feel right at home .
They tend to force-sterilize people too , but hey , as long as you ’ re not an Muslim Uighur or some political dissident , and you only have one child , you should be just fine .
Some have asked me : “ Does that mean you want measles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Not necessarily , but I ’ d prefer a return to measles of the fifties any day before submitting to medical dictatorship .
I don ’ t want disease .
I just want freedom .
But if freedom comes with a price tag that includes increased risk of any particular disease , then so be it .
Tyranny is far more dangerous to humanity than any microbe ever was .
Give me freedom or give me death .
I simply yearn to breathe free .
I do not wish to be part of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country , marginalized and persecuted by an all-powerful pharmaceutical lobby driven by its insatiable profit margins .
No , I do not want your medical bondage .
Nope , I will not join you in your dependency on pharmaceutical products .
I will not accept anything less than freedom .
Freedom to choose what I put into my body .
If I am forced to choose , I prefer natural dangers to man-made ones .
As King David observed ( and we cite in the Selichot liturgy ) : “ I am greatly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the hand of G-d ; for His mercies are great ; but into the hand of man let me not fall.
