Bertrand Russel:

The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way.

“No good evidence”, yes, because evidences are impossible, by definition.

(Find context for the quotation over here.)

קהלת רבה פרשה ו’ פסקה ו’:

שלושה אין מחזיקין טובה לבעליהן הנפש והארץ והאשה הנפש מניין שנאמר וגם הנפש לא תמלא הארץ שנאמר (משלי ל’) ארץ לא שבעה מים אשה שנאמר (שם) אכלה ומחתה פיה.

We have mentioned the Chazon Ish already.

Another example is the various (often Chassidic) statements similar to the one by Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Kalischer (in a letter to Rabbi Chaim Elazar Waks):

ויש לראות גודל התכלית הזה שהקלי’ גוברת גם בצדיקים היותר גדולים לבטל הטוב הזה…

That is, the greater they are, the greater the proof against their own position…

If you have availability to be contacted by phone or email by pre-screened families from YOUR hometown in the U.S. or elsewhere that have questions about your community, schools, shuls, parnassah opportunities, we need you!

If you have 5 minutes or five hours per week, any amount of your time can be critical in giving an American Chareidi family the advice, support and guidance that they need to make their Eretz Yisrael dream into a reality.
