AAJ "Ask A Jew" Wednesday

It's everyone's favorite day of the week, "Ask A (Anti-Zionist) Jew" Wednesday! Ask whatever you want to know, within the sub rules, notably that this is not a debate sub and do not import drama from other subreddits. That aside, have fun! We love to dialogue with our non-Jewish siblings.

Please remember to pick an appropriate user-flair in order to participate! Thanks!

Do you guys pay attention to religious law and holidays?

Yes. I’m somewhere between conservative and orthodox. Becoming anti-Zionist actually led to me becoming more observant. I’d be curious how many of us on this sub are secular or observant.

For anyone interested in learning about important Orthodox/Observant Jews who have opposed Zionism, Yeshayahu Leibowitz is a fascinating thinker who was a prolific writer on Torah, Judaism, and Zionism.

It's why I describe myself as "Conservadox".

Also, God, I love Jeremiah.
