Official Launch — VoiceOfRabbis.org Rooted exclusively in Torah values ​​and informed by centuries of classical Jewish scholarship, our mission is to elevate public discourse, provide thoughtful guidance, and articulate the authentic consciousness of our tradition in the contemporary world through education and clarity. At the heart of our endeavor lies a fundamental distinction: Judaism is not Zionism. Judaism is an ancient religion defined by Divine law and spiritual purpose. Zionism, by contrast, is a modern political ideology that, while usurping Jewish symbols and identity, advances concepts and objectives that stand in conflict with core Torah teachings. By rigorously elucidating this distinction and demonstrating the absurdity of Zionism from a purely Judaic perspective, we seek to defend the integrity of authentic Judaism, dispel misunderstanding, and contribute to greater clarity and peace in both Jewish and broader discourse. Our official podcast launches today with an inaugural conversation featuring our honored guest, Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro. Visit our new website and listen to the first episode: voiceofrabbis.org/ We invite serious-minded readers and listeners to follow for substantive, Torah-centered education on these vital matters. 0:00 — Who we are & why we launched 5:17 — Do Zionists follow Judaism? 6:50 — “Jewish State” — fact or fiction? 15:07 — Israel or America — where is our loyalty? 21:30 — Judaism ≠ nationalism 26:35 — “1 Jewish state vs 27 Muslim states” — myth exposed 31:35 — Satmar Rebbe’s warning after ’67 war 35:24 — Anti-Zionism: what it actually means 50:10 — Our protests: not in our name 58:45 — Carrie Prejean Boller — what really happened 1:23:50 — Zionist strategy breakdown 1:27:50 — Israel ≠ voice of the Jews 1:31:20 — “Fringe”?
