The following is a partial list of Rabbis and Sages you won't read about on TrueTorahJews.org (originally jewsagainstzionism.com):

Important to note that not all these Rabbis were Zionists. They were for the most part pro shivas tzion in our time. Some of them celebrated Yom Haatzmaut - Israel Independence Day and some did not.
This is really an amazing list. It definitely puts things in perspective.
ReplyDeleteYes this is a very good list indeed. I would also add in Rav Elchonon Spector to the list.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dave. I added Rav Elchonon Spector to the list.
ReplyDeleteYou should clarify who Yosef Soloveichik is. In fact, the Bais HaLevi belongs in this list too.
ReplyDeleteThere's an article on the subject in HaDoram, No. 48, Nissan 5739. Read it here:

Where is Rav Tsvi Chayas please?
ReplyDeleteMost of this list are of rabbis who were not Zionists.
ReplyDeleteMany of them were not. I updated the post with that information at the bottom. Thank you.
DeleteDid you get reshus to place all these rabbonim in this list together with Rabbi Kook?
ReplyDeleteThis is not a joke
I imagine Rav Kook would be more than happy to have all these tremendous tzaddikim listed together with him.
DeleteYaakov Emden? He said the Three Oaths is applicable today.
ReplyDeleteI will look into it but for now I removed him from the list. I did add more great names though. Thanks for the comment.
