Reply To: Rabbi Moshe Sherer and the modern State of Israel

What is the exact source for Chaim87’s quote from Rabbi Isser Zalman:

A state is something that we have not had for nearly two thousand years,
and now it is being offered to us — even if only in a small measure for now.
Please, do not reject it.
It is evident that it is from Heaven and is a sign of the beginning of redemption.”
