Abstract
Despite his personal loyalties he never addressed issues from a political standpoint; there was only the Torah to teach. [...]in his responsa he purposely steered away from political concerns and addressed each issue objectively. Concerning the meaning of the modern State of Israel, he believed that it was brought about by the hand of God to protect the Jewish people after the Shoah when most of the leadership had been destroyed. [...]even if much of the political leadership of the government was far from righteous it was still a Godsend to protect the people from decimation and inter-marriage.
