Hishbati is a new non- and anti-Zionist Beit Midrash. We provide a space for Jews to learn and teach Torah without the assumption that Zionism is inherently Jewish, or even a good idea. By being open about our hashkafah (outlook) we hope to address big questions without assumed answers. Questions like: Is rabbinic Judaism Zionist? Is it anti-Zionist? What makes Jews holy? What does it mean to be holy? Why did early religious Zionists believe that Jewish power wouldn’t lead to nationalism? Is Jewish power a Good Thing? A Bad Thing? How should Jews relate to violence perpetrated by a Jewish state? How should diaspora Jews relate to the Land of Israel?
