On Redemption and Relocation: A Response to Trump's Gaza Proposal (B'shallach)
from Seven Minute Torah · host Rabbi Micah Streiffer
As the Torah tells the story of the Exodus, it sends a strong message that redemption is not only about moving to the geographic Promised Land, but also about moving toward a more just society and a repaired world. This is why the idea of forcibly relocating Palestinians from Gaza is completely anathema to Jewish teaching. --------------------------------- Seven Minute Torah is a production of LAASOK.
