Question
Why is there no public fast declared and no shofar blowing as ruled in the Shulchan Aruch, considering the war is in the land and most of Israel is in danger?
Answer
Hello
I have posted an extended article on this topic on the site, see in the articles section
The Mishnah Berurah wrote that it is necessary for the Land of Israel to be under the control of Israel, and in our days the government does not operate according to Halacha. He also wrote that it is necessary for the majority of Israel to be in the Land of Israel, and in our days it does not seem that the majority of Jews are in the Land of Israel, especially if we consider the ten tribes.
