ZEALOTRY ALWAYS ENDS IN RUIN
from Deeper Look At The Parsha · host Rabbi Pini Dunner
Israel’s strikes on Iran have exposed more than military vulnerabilities—they’ve revealed the deadly consequences of Iran’s religious zealotry. Drawing parallels with the biblical spies in Parshat Shlach and the doomed sectarians of Qumran, Rabbi Dunner explores how absolutist ideology—whether ancient or modern—is not the path to purity or righteousness, but rather to chaos and ruin.
