“Concern, But Not Worry”: Advocating for Israel in 2022 with Rabbi Uri Pilichowski (114)

May 30, 2022 11:37 am

On Yom Yerushalayim, we thank G-d for the miraculous gift of a united Jerusalem – and, lest we forget, the miracle of winning the Six Day War which, many had originally feared, would destroy the State of Israel and precipitate a second Holocaust. While some celebrate, many others suggest that Israel doesn’t belong to us at all. In fact, they say, the entire State of Israel is an illegitimate enterprise, born in sin and destined to be transformed into a binational state without a Jewish character. It seems to many that those voices are growing louder and louder.

Last month, the Harvard Crimson published an editorial entitled In Support of Boycott, Divest, Sanctions and a Free Palestine (www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/4/…ox=1651260876-1). Are voices like the Crimson’s getting louder? Is Israel losing the battle for world public opinion? Should Yom Yerushalayim be a day of celebration, or a day of dread?

Rabbi Uri Pilichowski does not accept this doomsday narrative. He argues that Israel is better off than it has ever been before, including in the area of public relations. Listen to this fascinating and hopeful interview to find out why.
