Tel Aviv: 1928
Authored by a religious faction in Tel Aviv who left the Va’ad Le’Umi, seeking to encourage other Orthodox groups to do the same. ”An heretical outlook is incompatible with raising a principled generation in the Land.” Founded in 1920, the Va’ad Le’Umi was the Yishuv’s official executive institution, functioning as a quasi-governmental institution. Upon gaining official recognition from the British in 1928, it was then that the Va’ad received especially intense pushback from Orthodox elements. Responding to the rabbis who accused them of separatism, the authors argue here that the real separatists are those who defy the Torah.
