Ideas and Opinions of Religious Leaders on the Disengagment

Continue to Other Articles of Interest

We are living through turbulent times in the State of Israel. Political tensions over the past decade have had a profound impact on the Religious Zionist Movement. These tensions have resulted in an internal lack of clarity, and to a change in the external perception of the Religious Zionist movement. In our current situation, there is a great need for the voices of the Religious Zionist leadership to be heard.

Toward that end, this component of our website is dedicated to bringing you current articles that address contemporary issues in Israeli society as they relate to the fundamental principles of Religious Zionism. The articles below relate primarily to the disengagement plan and the issue of refusal to obey military orders. Among the articles, you will find the "Proceedings of The World Council on Ideology and Spirituality" that was established recently by the World Mizrachi Organization as a think tank to work on a reformulation of the ideological foundations of Religious Zionism in our times. The "proceedings" summarize the first meeting of rabbis and academics who sat together to speak and to hear each other's opinions, in an atmosphere that brought together all of the streams that see themselves committed to Religious Zionism.

It is our hope that this site will enrich the internal debate in the Religious Zionist community, and provide an opportunity for our constituency to gain a clearer understanding of current issues and their impact on Religious Zionism, the State of Israel, and Israeli society.
