Rabbis must lean into Zionism from the pulpit this holiday season
Writing in The Jerusalem Post, Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt argues that today’s antisemitism echoes the Dreyfus-era 1890s more than 1930s Germany — and that rabbis in both eras have been called on to lead. He urges colleagues to use the High Holy Days to teach Zionism’s history and the Jewish people’s ties to the land, rather than avoid the subject or distance congregants from Israel.
