Jews and Muslims lived together for centuries. Did Zionism tear them apart?
On Deja Vu, Rabbi Haim Sofer explores the history of the Neturei Karta movement’s opposition to Zionism.
Can Judaism exist without Zionism? Rabbi Haim Sofer traces Jewish identity through exile and persecution to centuries of life alongside Muslims, from al-Andalus to Morocco and Iraq. How did the dream of a Jewish state and plans for a Third Temple reshape those ties – and why does Neturei Karta, an Orthodox Jewish anti-Zionist movement, oppose a Jewish state?
In this episode:
- Rabbi Haim Sofer, Religious scholar
