Toi-Thank you and I looked it up. Firstly, please remember that this site is anti-zionist and may distort quotations or ignore anything that is not in line with their thoughts. That said, even what they bring down from Rav Hirsch’s writings do not square at all with the anti-zionist screech of today. Firstly, it is clear that Rav Hirsch is not talking about political Zionism. He is talking about making alyah to Eretz Yisroel,as you will see from the quotations culled from “Shemesh marpeh” . He argues with R’Zvi Hirsch Kalisher and it is absolutely about making alyah- not political Zionism. With the greatest respect to RSR Hirsch- to argue,as he does, that we should remain loyal to the countries we live in and not move to Eretz Yisroel (which is what he advocates) came to a bitter end- as he lived in Germany! (even as thousands of jews fought in WW1) so I would decline ,with respect, to follow his path on this. (BTW- chareidim do not follow his other path- secualr education!)
He seems to mention the ‘sholosh shevuos” but he says that we should ask the gentile nations how they accepted the third shevuo! (not to enslave the jews too much).A bitter joke, knowing what happened in his beloved Germany 45 years after his passing!
anyway- to quote Rav Hirsch is not the most relailbe source tob rely upon.
