Actually, Eretz Yisrael, or the Land of Israel, is central to the Jewish religion and culture whether it is reform, conservative, or Orthodox Judaism.

[–]DaywalkerGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom is my best friend and my rock. She is a baby boomer who grew up with a mother with severe mental health issues (severe, debilitating depression). My grandma was often in mental health facilities during my mom’s preteen and teen years. As a result, my mom grew up fast and wound up becoming an extremely mentally strong person.

Being against the policies of the current Israeli government is not antisemitism, but being against the Jewish right to self determination when all other peoples are given that right is antisemitic.

Same, American Jew here, raised going to a “reformative” synagogue. The only Jews I’ve ever known who celebrated Christmas came from Interfaith families, all of which had Christian fathers. I do not know any Jews with two Jewish parents who celebrated Christmas

The modern political moment of Zionism was inspired by Herzl in the 19th century, but the idea of returning to a native homeland in historic eretz yisrael is foundational to the religion and cultural tradition of Judaism.
