Fighting for Torah Valuesat the ExtraordinaryWorld Zionist Congress
This past week, I went to the World Zionist Congress with low expectations. Our agenda was clear: fight for our values, even if we lose every vote. Historically, the chareidi community has been excluded by those who claim inclusivity. On Wednesday, my committee spent almost two hours debating the Supreme Court resolution. While at times […]
WHO SHOULD REPRESENT US?
Traveling to Eretz Yisrael always carries with it unique feelings. As put eloquently by the taxi driver that drove me from my hotel to the airport for my return flight to the U.S.A.; “You’re not going home. You’re going to America.

בקונגרס הציוני המיוחד שכונס בירושלים בסוף השבוע שעבר, הצליחה סיעת המזרחי העולמי במאבקה למנוע קבלת החלטה שתאסור את שינוי ‘סעיף הנכד’ המפורסם בחוק השבות. מלכתחילה הציעה המזרחי לקבל בהסכמה תיקונים מסויימים בנושא סעיף הנכד, אבל סיעות השמאל סירבו לדון בהצעת המזרחי ודרשו לדון רק בהצעה שתאסור את ביטול סעיף הנכד. כתוצאה מכך דרשה המזרחי לקיים הצבעה רשמית בין 700 […]
