Words of Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum
against Zionist Heresy
The words of the saintly Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum, author
of the VAYOEL MOSHE (in Hebrew, written in 1958) ring clearly when
we view events in the Middle East:
"...if we place all the immodesty and promiscuity of the generation
and the many sins of the world on one side of the scale, and the Zionist
state on the other side of the scale by itself, it would outweigh them
all. Zionism is the greatest form of spiritual impurity in the
entire world. They are polluting the entire world. They have polluted
the Jewish people with their heresy, Heaven help us. It is no surprise
why G-d's anger comes down from heaven. It is necessary to repent and
escape from them more than from a lion who is chasing a person to kill
him."
"It has been explained that before the coming of
the Messiah this regime will come to an end, as Messiah cannot come any
other way, since the Zionist state holds up the redemption of the world.
We need G-d's mercies that divine intervention should bring about the
end of the state. May G-d have mercy on us all."
RABBI TEITELBAUM ALSO WROTE:
"It is clear that anyone who believes in G-d has
no doubt that they are from the source of the accursed impurity
of heresy, Heaven help us. It is horrible that such a thing arose in our
day, and how can we be silent when we see such violations of our faith
and the principles of our entire Torah? Especially since so many of our
religious brethren fail to speak out about the truth! In such circumstances,
the entire truth could be forgotten, G-d forbid."
"Everything our blessed rabbis cried out about earlier
in the century about the dangers of Zionism has almost been forgotten!
Even my own writings go ignored. THEREFORE, SHOULD THE TRUTH AND
FOUNDATIONS OF OUR RELIGION BE FORGOTTEN? It is impossible to describe
to what extent the world has become sunken in such a falsehood which is
destroying the entire Torah. Therefore we are obliged to cry out before
anyone against the deep impurity which has spread out in our generation.
Let us hope there are increasing numbers who open up their eyes and the
teachings of our forefathers should reach their ears to seek truth and
faith. Without this, there is no hope...."
