Rabbinic Quotations
Early & Contemporary Rabbinic Sources Refuting the Foundations of Zionism:
Before Zionism ever existed, the Torah already defined Geulah, Jewish nationhood, and Jewish identity.
Chazal, the Rishonim, and the great Torah thinkers of every generation taught that redemption is Divine, that Jewish nationhood is covenantal not nationalist and that Jewish identity flows from Torah, not political sovereignty. The evidence is overwhelming: every Torah authority who addressed Zionism rejected it.
Not some. Not most. Every single one. From the Chofetz Chaim to the Chazon Ish, from the Satmar Rebbe to Rav Shach the verdict was unanimous: Zionism is heresy. These were not “extremists.” These were the giants of Torah — the authors of the Seforim every Orthodox Jew studies, and the leaders whose rulings guide millions. Across countries, dynasties, and generations, they all said the same thing: Zionism is antithetical to Judaism.
