Limmud NY 2016

The death of Mizrachi/the National Religious Party a few years ago called into question, both in America and in Israel, the role of Religious Zionism in the creation of the Yishuv, thence of the state, and those dynamics that caused the demise of Religious Zionism. Was the "villain" the weakening of Modern Orthodoxy? Was it the Settler Movement, in which Religious Zionism became increasingly defined by West Bank settlers? The session offers a historical, religious, and political analysis.
