Letter of support from Rabbi Mordechai Marcus

Rabbi Mordechai Marcus zt”l, Rav of Congregation Beth Medrash Govoha of Flatbush, writes in his letter of approbation, printed in the sefer: “My signature testifies that Rabbi Yirmiyahu Cohen, a wise young man whom I have known for many years, came before me. I know him as someone whose Yiras Shomayim precedes his chochma and is knowledgeable in many areas. And now he wishes to publish a comprehensive work on a complex legal issue that has arisen among the Jewish people over the last hundred years: the settlement of the Holy Land, by individuals or en masse, and the waging of wars for this purpose. I will withhold my personal opinion at least for now on a subject on which greater people have already debated. But in this work you will find spread out, as on a table, many arguments and debates on this subject, which will enlighten your eyes. As Scripture says: Give to a wise man and he will become wiser.”
