Hi Rabbi Mivasair,

Are there progressive congregations in Canada that accommodate anti-Zionist converts? We had a question here regarding that:

Another great question!

I get asked this about once a month. There obviously is a need.

I am very sorry that it is so difficult to find a synagogue and/or a rabbi who will "accommodate anti-Zionist converts" -- or, better, welcome them with open arms and pride.

There are two or three in the greater Toronto area where anti-Zionists could or can be "accommodated".

I would encourage you and anyone else who personally has that question to directly contact me. I will do my best to help in any way that I can.
