More than 100 rabbis from around Europe gathered in Berlin to exchange views and information on Jewish life across the continent. The conference came amid rising antisemitism and concerns prompted by the war in Iran.
Dear Albert, I see that you have paid a high personal cost for your activism. And that this may be why your comment sounds commandeering, out of exasperation.
Still, I believe it is unfair to expect Jews or rabbis in Berlin to have to talk about Palestine or Israel at every instance. It is okay that they talk about their life and community, which is what the rebbe in the video did.
I’m going to strongly disagree. It is a core part of judaism to fix the world. and ignoring a genocide done in your name is absolutely the opposite.
yes, in abstract, no one should go out and distance themselves from crimes committed by other people. But in practice??
Jewish voices have been among the loudest antizionist voices, however, synagogues must do the same.
however many synagogues have close ties with Israel, from summer camps, to advocacy. Some synagogues even conduct real estate sales for Palestinian stolen houses. Israeli politicians regularly attend Chabbad conferences. those are not neutral, they are genocidal propagandists. And by now silence is complicity
I doubt Tzedek chicago gets any hatred besides from other zionist communities.
