In honor of the Yahrzeit of Rabbi Yosef Rozen of Dvinsk 'Rogatchover' zi"a

lema'an achi vere'i! In honor of the Yahrzeit of Rabbi Yosef Rozen of Dvinsk 'Rogatchover' zi"a,

Excerpt from a letter written in 1904, against the zionist movement:

"Heaven forbid that we should test G-d and strive with him concerning the length of the Exile in order to be masters in the Holy Land.

To those who share these Zionist views but profess to be believers, whose lips drip with Torah and piety, I have this to say: Do you not know that Zionism and self-rule are VANITY AND PURSUIT OF EMPTINESS AND IMITATION? Why do you despise the Torah and stretch out your hand to transgressors tainted with HERESY, and why do you not consider in whose company you go?".
