Description

Connection to the State of Israel can only be through Torah and Mitzvos (Teshuvah). There’s no such thing as "secular Zionism". Our attachment to the land is not simply based on "culture". Each Jew’s keeping of mitzvos affects the whole nation. Secular Jews aren’t supporting the State, so they turn to non-Jews for support. Israel is being populated with gentiles from all over the world which is a tremendous disgrace. Rav Kook and the Satmar Rav agreed that "secular Zionism" is incorrect. They only argued whether we could establish a holy establishment in the land before the times of Moshiach. We’re living in a time of chillul (disgrace of) Hashem.
