The Third Identity
Question
At one point Avi Sagi spoke about a kind of “third identity” with a spokesperson for Gush Emunim, and at its core was the idea that we are not in the midst of redemption, but the period of exile has ended. Among the figures he mentioned as sources of inspiration was Rabbi Reines, the founder of the Mizrachi movement.
My question is: did you also look at that movement as an example when you spoke about Religious Zionism without a hyphen?
Answer
I wasn’t looking at anyone.
