Hi, Rabbi. Thanks for this website. It has begun answering questions that I've had for a very long time.

Shalom,

I have been told that it is illegal in Israel for Christians to teach their faith to non-christians. Is this true? What does the true Torah Jew think of Christianity?

How do you counter those Christian Evangelicals who claim that the covenants with Abraham and his seed are everlasting and include certain territories specified in the Holy Scriptures?

Dear friends,

my parents are committed UK Christian Zionists working for "Christian Friends of ISrael", and talk to me a lot about Ezekiel, Isaiah and Zechariah prophecying the current return to the land, Eretz ISrael.

My father reads a zionist christian magazine with rapture ready rhetoric. The stuff this magazine says makes me scared he may become a fundementalist. My question is why does tommorows world (the magazine I was talking about) support zionism.

I am an American currently in Israel, trying to understand God's plan here. I wonder what your organization thinks of the current situation in the West Bank.

Hello,

Dear Rabbi,

I knew Rabbi Avigdor Miller personally and even twice had a Pesach seder hosted by him and his Rebbitzen. He was known to be an anti-zionist - can you quote me any of his statements on the subject of zionism?

who ruled on the oaths. I see they are all achoronim, and certainly great
scholars, all of them. However, do you know of any rishonim who ruled
halachically the same way?

The Chazon Ish, who is quoted on your website today in an anti-zionist context, also wrote the following to R.

Regarding R. Chaim Sonnenfeld, zt"l, I found the following quote in a sefer about his life, on the subject of Zionism:

In a letter to his brother, Shmuel, in Czechoslovokia, dated Elul, 1903, R. Chaim wrote:

Do you believe that it is assur to assist in any way in the attempt to establish Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel prior to the arrival of Moshiach(bimhero byameinu)?

I understand the position that the Jewish people have no right to govern the land which is now Israel. Before the State of Israel was set up under Zionist leadership, Jews lived on the land.

Was the Hazon ish wrong in making aliya to Israel and even voting in the elections there?
