Rabbi Lazer Brody, known as “the Commando Rabbi” due to his service in the IDF special forces, believes that Independence Day is a time to reflect and ask if we are truly liberated. If foreign countries are telling us where to live, where to build houses, and how to defend ourselves, he asks -- are we really free?
In the above video, Rabbi Brody explains how Israel can become a truly independent country.
