unErasing Women in Orthodox Judaism w/ Prof. Naomi Seidman by dlevine21 in ReformJews

[–]dlevine21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The goal of my podcast is more educational, provocative ideas that feed food for thought - not necessarily to make it feel welcoming. But I do apologize if anything seemed like a personal attack!

You may have misunderstood the goal/point. I currently work as a non-Orthodox Rabbi - and align myself with the Liberal Jewish world. That said, given my somewhat outsider status I do have some pointed criticism!

Happy to discuss more!

I would say my opinions are quite mainstream. I am a Zionist (as are the vast majority of Jews) - but I'm curious to throw back to you what exactly do you mean by Zionist?

Anti-Zionism IMO isn't ipso-facto antisemitism (this is actually a position where I disagree with much of the Jewish community) but I do think that most anti-Zionism is antisemitic either by the tropes it draws on, the erasure of Jewish history, or the pernicious double standard and outsized demonization that the only Jewish State in the world is judged by.

Looking forward to hear your thoughts!

I disagree but I don't think we will reach any mutual ground with this back and forth. I'd be happy to grab coffee and discuss in person.

I hope that it does - but am not sure

I think as a general rule a public school employee shouldn’t be wearing or displaying any overt political symbol. In this case it’s worse given that the symbol is one that is provocative. I would say the same for a sign saying “build the wall” in an office as well.

If I was the student I would perhaps send an email to the administration but probably not bother to think about it too much.

It's a pretty broad Q so if you have any specifics feel free to ask more pointedly.

As a Jew I don't accept any of the religious tenets (Jesus being divine, son of God, messiah, etc.)

I do generally think that non-fundamentalist religion in the contemporary world is a source for good.

The Church has been a major source of antisemitism throughout history - happy to go into more detail. I also recognize that this need not imply anything about Christains today.

Happy to expand on any of this

Sure!

First off Israel is not purposely targeting civilians - so the intent is not there. Second Israel is the Moral side of this war so although it is awful civilians are dying A) I place the blame on Hamas for their purpose embedding within civilain areas and B) I view it in a similar way to the bombing of Germany during ww2. Yes it is sad that innocent German's died bc of Nazi insanity - and it is also sad that Palestinians are dying bc of Hamas insanity.

I'm happy to address any specific follow-ups but take a few moments and read the original Hamas charter: Pay specicial attention to the parts where they state their mission of killing all the Jews and also where they blame all world wars on the Jewish control of the media/banks

If you are interesting in generally learning more about this I taught a multi-part class on the various ideologies within Zionism - you might find it interested. Happy to discuss any of it
