"Rabbi Charley Baginsky stated, 'What happens when the direction of the government within Israel takes Israel down a line that makes it incompatible with our Jewish values? That's a huge worry.' This concern underscores the potential existential threat to Judaism posed by Israel's political choices."
"Rabbi Josh Levy remarked, 'Exploring these tough questions is not a sign of disloyalty to Israel or to the Jewish community. It is to be part of a millennial conversation about Jewish values and what God wants of us in the world.' This highlights the importance of dialogue in addressing these issues."
Senior progressive rabbis in the UK warn that Israel's current political trajectory may threaten Jewish values and identity. They emphasize that criticizing the Israeli government is a Jewish obligation, not disloyalty. Rabbi Charley Baginsky and Rabbi Josh Levy express concern that Israel's direction could pose an existential threat to Judaism itself. Their newly launched book features 40 essays from various Jewish leaders, addressing complex issues surrounding Jewish identity, Zionism, and Israel, while advocating for dialogue and reflection on these critical topics.
