| | Mizrachi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Mizrachi party was the first official religious Zionist party and founded the Ministry of Religion in Israel and pushed for laws enforcing kashrut and the observance of the sabbath. | | | The Mizrachi (acronym for Merkaz Ruchani or "religious centre") is the name of the religious Zionist organization founded in 1902 in Vilna at a world conference of religious Zionists called by Rabbi Yitzchak Yaacov Reines. | | | It also played a role prior to the creation of the state of Israel in building a network of religious schools that exist to this day. |

| | However, the struggles for the integrity of the Land of Israel that were waged by the Religious Zionist movement in the thirty years preceding the establishment of the State of Israel are also important elements of our historical consciousness. | | | Another important personality is Tovah Sanhedrei, who succeeded in giving expression to the distress of the religious woman without sacrificing an ounce of her leadership and her revolutionary impact on the Religious Zionist camp. | | | To the end, Rav Kook was never a member of the Religious Zionist movement that was associated with a completely secular organization. |

| | Religious Zionism: Between Openness and Closedness |
| | The religious Zionist movement was the one to cause it to materialize in practice. | | | The recognition of the totalization of religion is a fundamental characteristic of the Religious Zionist conception from the very first, and this was the basis for the sharp debate between Achad Ha’am and the Religious Zionist movement. | | | The fact that Religious Zionism adapted this way of thinking is especially blatant when compared with the hareidim’s clinging to their understanding of the Nation of Israel as merely a religious denomination, shaped and defined only by the Torah. |

| | Religious Zionism |
| | Religious Zionism then, was born of a Siamese-type section, an unhealthy splitting off of the religious factor from the Zionistic affirmation, almost a separation of state and church, or a division of Zionism into its political and religious components. | | | Religious Zionism has made it a point of insisting that those who come under its aegis in the educational sphere live up to the Religious Zionist ideal of commitment to the destiny of Israel and its people. | | | Judaism, after all, is a lifestyle predicated on a religious foundation, that foundation being the belief in God. |

| | The Religious Zionist movement has a glorious place in the rebirth of the Jewish people. | | | The inevitable clash came, and religious Zionists had to choose between Zionism and a distorted version of religion: worship of the golden calf of real estate. | | | The Jewish religion, like most ancient religions, was a religion supported by a state, and the Jewish people were and are a people held together by its religion. |

| | Some religious Zionists, such as members of Gush Emunim (Bloc of the Faithful), a politico-religious movement established in 1974, view the withdrawal from Gaza as a direct challenge to their religious convictions and theological doctrines. | | | Yakobson believes many religious Zionists will ultimately move away from the "secular establishment," including the Likud party, and move closer to the Haredi, (also known as Charedi) non-Zionist orthodox community who believe their religious practices originated with the divine revelation of the Torah to Moses on Mount Sinai. | | | But some religious Zionist leaders and activists deny they are facing a crisis of faith. |

| | Kook and his son explained the preeminence of secular Zionists in the founding of the state as the fulfillment of a spiritual mission that, for logistical reasons, religious Zionists could not initiate but were obligated to join. | | | Fringe figures in the Religious Zionist movement may reject this approach, instead adopting the extreme stance of resenting the secular establishment for losing faith in a God who has seemingly reneged on an avowed religious destiny. | | | The current challenge for the Religious Zionist establishment is to place the disengagement in similar terms—that is, as a mission impossible to carry out but, in retrospect, ultimately necessary and spiritually significant. |

| | The Religious Zionists of America (RZA), the American branch of World Mizrachi — Hapoel Hamizrachi movement, is an ideological and educational organization that aims to instill in the American Jewish community a commitment to Religious Zionism. | | | Mizrachi (a Hebrew abbreviation of merkaz ruchani — “spiritual center”) was founded by Rabbi Isaac Jacob Reines in 1902 to serve as an umbrella organization for the Religious Zionist movement. | | | The RZA seeks to reach all segments of the American Jewish population through adult educational programming in regional chapters, pro-Israel advocacy, promoting aliyah, strengthening and developing a creative curriculum on religious Zionism for Jewish day schools, and encouraging the knowledge and use of Hebrew as an important modality of expression. |

| | Then, of course, there were the messianists who believed that religious Zionism — indeed, all Zionism — could force the hand of God to end the Jewish exile and bring the messiah speedily and in their days. | | | Second is the strand that sees in religious Zionism an expression of religious yearning for, but not a guarantee of, the messiah's arrival. | | | In his analysis, the first and perhaps most dominant strand is the messianist belief that perceives the imperatives of religious return to and settlement of the land as moving inexorably toward redemption. |

| | At the same time, the elite witnesses the very substantial enthusiasm of the religious Zionist movement, recognizing that unless it does something to quash that contagious excitement, its own days in power (and privilege) are numbered. | | | The State of the Faithful, no matter how long delayed, is not merely the goal of the movement; it is the destiny of the nation. | | | The resolute close-mindedness of the religious Zionists is, indeed, noxious — but the open mindedness of the “secular elite” too often resembles nothing so much as a sieve. |

| | Rabbi Cohen also questioned whether religious Zionists are placing too much emphasis on Israel as a modern state rather than as a holy land to be settled by Jews, as commanded in the Torah. | | | Such a conclusion seems to call into question whether Israel and the Jewish people are on the road to spiritual redemption, a core belief of the religious Zionist movement. | | | “Instead of going into a deep crisis between religious Zionists and the State of Israel, as we have now,” he urged that the rule of the majority be carried out and religious Zionists join in supporting a stronger Israel within smaller but more secure borders. |

The petition, signed by 120 young people affiliated with the National Religious movement, called for an end to the occupation of the territories and a change in National Religious priorities. | | | The basic assumption is that these people, who support the National Religious leadership and its orientation across-the-board, could be motivated to discuss the priorities of Religious Zionism and could be receptive. |
