The magnitude of the miracle of the establishment of the State of Israel
The new, recently published book shows the extent to which we are not aware of the miracles that God does for us. Now we can get to know them a little more.
Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu | Sivan 15 5782
Can We Count on Israel? Partially.
Just like we don't rely totally upon the State to build Yeshivot, so too we cannot rely blindly upon it to actualize the values of Zionism.
Rabbi S. Yossef Weitzen | Nissan 20 5782
The Value of Nationhood
Translated by Hillel Fendel
In the Book of Shmot, we are no longer individuals, as in Breishit, but rather begin to appear in history as a Nation. Why is a national framework so critical?
Rabbi Haggai Lundin | Sivan 14 5781
How Can We, As Orthodox Jews Support & Celebrate a Non-Religious State?
The most basic quesion in religious-Zionism, is how can we religious Jews support & even selebrate on Yom HaAtzma'ut, a non-religious Jewish State? True, it's a lot closer than anything else around, and today, Israel is clearly the Torah Center of Judaism, and aside from the holiness and mitzva of Eretz Yisrael, what should our relationship be towards Medinat Yisrael? The Rambam already presents a precedent where we celebrate 200 years of sovereignty on Chanuka, even though admitting the Macccabean dynasy was problematic religiously (they were Kohanim & also for most of the 200 years not that religious, hellinists etc.). The she'ur concisely explains in 5 points, why a Jewish State is so important, even if it's not as religious as we like.
