Rabbis for Human Rights

Be inspired.

Rabbi Arik Ascherman: “…this is a country fighting for its soul, that Zionism is fighting for its soul, that Judaism is fighting for its soul. Nothing, even after the terrible things I’ve seen, causes me to call the enterprise into question.”

“But as a Jew, as a rabbi, as an Israeli, as a Zionist, I’ve always wanted to believe that we’re better. I don’t think we’re any worse, but I can’t any more say that we’re better. It only reinforces my commitment to save the soul of Judaism.”
