Q&A: I Will Sing Your Praise Among the Nations
I Will Sing Your Praise Among the Nations
Question
I know the Rabbi doesn’t like it when I ask general questions, but I came across this site and I feel I have to ask.
What does the Rabbi think about the claims of Yoel Elchanan, the operator of the site “I Will Sing Your Praise Among the Nations”? He says that the overwhelming majority, both in number and stature, of the great Torah leaders opposed Zionism; that a government of heretics is worse than a government of gentiles; that all of Religious Zionism is a complete mistake; and much more. Is there any substance to his claims?
Answer
The guy is a babbler, recycling childish claims from Haredi propagandists. Beyond that, I don’t see why it should matter to anyone what the majority of the great Torah leaders thought about something. Think for yourself whether you’re for it or against it.
