Hello and thank you for your interest. It is wonderful to hear that you are on your way back to Hashem and His Torah, and that you want to know the truth about this important issue that stands at the core of the Jewish faith. Once I had an interview with a someone writing an article for a magazine, and he asked me, "So is this - Zionism - the biggest problem today? What about assimilation and intermarriage?" I replied, "It's impossible to say which problem is greater. Yes, we are pained that there are so many ignorant Jews and we are losing them, but we are also pained if when they do return in teshuva, they are coming home to a Judaism that has been altered in is fundamental principles." I wish you success in your search for the truth, and I see you are already on the right track.

Our group is only interested in saving Jewish lives. We share your fear of what could arise in a conflict between the Zionists and Iran. The Zionist groups think the best way to keep safe is by making angry demonstrations against their leader and raising world opinion against him. We say that this will only provoke him more. The Iranian leader does not hate Jews, but even with those who really did hate Jews, provocation is the wrong course. We must remember history - Hitler originally did not plan to murder all the Jews, only to expel them from his country. But when the Zionists proclaimed a boycott against Germany, and then Stephen Wise, the most important American Reform Jewish leader, spoke at a rally and declared "war" on Hitler, his anger boiled and he was convinced that world Jewry was out to get him. The best way to escape from danger is the way Jews have used throughout the exile, following the example of our forefather Yaakov: bowing down, sending presents. See Bereshis chapter 32. So we hung signs telling Jews not to demonstrate against the Iranian leader when he came to New York recently.

Furthermore, I would like you to know that we oppose the ideology of Zionism, but we are not opposed to individual secular Jews, nor do we have any animosity towards them. They are our Jewish brothers and sisters, only they are ignorant of their faith, and must be taught. We want to reach out to them, and more than anything we are concerned for their safety. That's one of the main reasons why we consider this work so urgent. The Jewish people is in great danger because of Zionism. Do you think that some Arabs are anti-semitic because they grew up in czarist Russia or attended Hitler youth schools? They became anti-semitic because of their hatred for the state of Israel. They came to hate all Jews by association. We have a great obligation to clear the record and explain to them that zionism is not really Judaism. And we have a great obligation to see to it that the state of Israel closes down so that they won't have anything to hate, and then Jews can live peacefully and safely in the world.
