    “Rabbi [Moshe] Sherer responded at length.
    He pointed out that the opposition to religious umbrella groups
    did not preclude Jews joining together on issues as
    Israel’s security or combating anti-Semitism.”

    PERSONAL COMMENT:
    This is the 1st quote of 4, which proves that Rabbi Moshe Sherer
    was deeply committed to Israel’s security, even though Israel
    was a Secular Zionist state with Secular Zionist leaders!

    “Rabbi [Moshe] Sherer’s summary of a confidential
    June 17, 1970 [CE] meeting with Israel’s
    Ambassador to Washington Yitzchak Rabin
    reflects his lifelong approach to Israel’s security needs.”

    PERSONAL COMMENT:
    This is the 3rd quote which proves that Rabbi Moshe Sherer
    was deeply committed to Israel’s security, even though Israel
    was a Secular Zionist state with Secular Zionist leaders!

    from from the ArtScroll History Series biography

    The offer of political support Rabbi Sherer made
    to Yitzchak Rabin was one he would repeat
    on many occasions to Israeli leaders.

    In a 1981 [CE] letter to Israeli Ambassador Ephraim Efron,
    for instance, he described Agudath Israel’s grassroots
    constituency as a “reservoir of manpower which is
    totally committed to the safety and security of Israel.”

    PERSONAL COMMENT:
    This is the 4th quote which proves that Rabbi Moshe Sherer
    was deeply committed to Israel’s security, even though Israel
    was a Secular Zionist state with Secular Zionist leaders!

    the YWN Coffee Room on 2025 March 25,
    in a discussion titled “Three Oaths essay
    from Rabbi Avraham Rivlin of Kerem B’Yavneh    ”:

    Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky writes in his
    Emes Le-Ya’akov Al Ha-Torah (Exodus 12:2 n. 17):

    It is incumbent on us to understand that the establishment of
    the state of Israel in our day, after the great destruction and
    despair that overtook the remnant, and given the desperate
    and destroyed status of Russian Jewry, God caused the
    establishment of the state of Israel in order to strengthen
    the connection to Judaism and to sustain
    the link between the Jews in exile and the Jewish nation.

    in a discussion titled “Three Oaths essay
    from Rabbi Avraham Rivlin of Kerem B’Yavneh    ”:

    Rabbi Eliyahu Dessler has two relevant letters,
    from 1948 [CE] and 1949 [CE], that were published
    in Mikhtav Me-Eliyahu, volume 3 pages 349 to 353.

    He writes that he is hesitant to call the establishment of
    the state of Israel and the ensuing military victory the
    beginning of the Redemption, but he considers it a possibility
    (i.e. a Hopeful Zionist position).

    He also has harsh words for anyone who refuses
    to see God’s miraculous intervention in this,
    considering them heretics who reject Divine Providence.
