Biblical accounts teem with violent episodes. Just a few days ago, we read in the synagogue the story of Jacob’s two sons, Levi and Simeon, massacring the entire male population of a city in a devious scheme using a religious pretext. (Genesis 34) Their father was so aggrieved that even on his death bed, when […]
Hanukkah is, perhaps, the easiest Jewish holiday to celebrate. There are no restrictions on what one may or may not do—no fasting and, in fact, no prohibitions except one: the lights of Hanukkah must not be used for any practical purpose, not even for studying Torah or lighting the Sabbath candles. Hanukkah candles are symbols […]
This title borrowed from the memoirs of scientist and Nobel laureate Rita Levi-Montalcini should help us learn from the weekly reading Vayigashwhat makes a good leader. In the context of the 2024 presidential election in the United States, there is much debate around the world about the personal qualities of a leader. Judah, one of […]
By Yakov Rabkin and Yaacov Yadgar Abstract This article concerns the endurance of political traditions brought to Palestine at the turn of the 20th century from the revolutionary milieu in Imperial Russia. The Russian Empire and its neighbors, which form most of today’s Eastern Europe and large swaths of Central Europe, was the homeland of […]
There is something strange about the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, which occurs a few days after Yom Kippur. One is required to leave one’s usual home and move to temporary, flimsy huts exposed to the vagaries of the weather. The holiday embodies the memory of protecting former slaves who dwelled in huts on their journey […]
“This past year has proven how fragile and precious life can be.” Rabbi Moshe Taragin, educator and author, begins his recent article with these words. It is written during the Hebrew month of Elul, which, this year, began in September. He mourns the death of some of his students who died as Israel’s soldiers in the war […]

(Image by Prensa Latina) Every year, Jews recite the entire Pentateuch aloud in synagogues. It is divided in weekly portions. Last week’s one (Vaet’hanan, Deuteronomy 3 :23 – 7 :11) contains passages that are central to Jewish liturgy, including the Shema, a declaration of loyalty to God, or more precisely, a declaration of love […]
This post is also available in: Spanish, French Anti-Semitism is making the headlines. The Israeli Prime Minister describes as anti-Semitic the accusation that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and even American students who are calling for a ceasefire. What Israel is doing does in fact provoke anti-Semitic acts against synagogues, Jewish schools and even individual Jews. […]
Reflections on Avi Shlaim, Three Worlds : Memoirs of an Arab-Jew, London: Oneworld, 2023, 324 pp. During my stay in Iran in 2016, I heard from several Muslims that Jews are good businessmen because they are trustworthy, and their word weighs more than a notarized contract. I recalled these comments when I read about Yusef, one of […]
Pogrom. This Russian term denotes a violent riot incited with the aim of massacring Jews and destroying their property. One of the deadliest pogroms (50 Jews were killed and nearly 600 wounded) took place in Kishinev a hundred and twenty years ago, in April 1903. But the trauma of Russian Zionists facing the oppression in […]
This post is also available in: French (Image by Bansky, London december 2023) Palestinians in Gaza are being decimated. Over 20 000 have been killed, mostly women and children. Three times more have been wounded. Some experts qualify it as genocide, others as massacre. Two million people have been displaced, many more than during the entire […]
Eighty years ago, on January 27, 1944, people in the street were hugging each other and weeping with joy. They were celebrating the end of a nearly 900 days brutal siege. Soviet forces lifted the siege of Leningrad after ferocious battles. Exactly a year later they liberated Auschwitz. Even today, walking in Saint-Petersburg’s main avenue, […]
22.03.24 – Montreal, Canadá – Yakov M. Rabkin The Jewish holiday of Purim, related in the Book of Esther, celebrates deliverance from a genocide.

On the night of the October 7, 2023 attack in Southern Israel, I was staying overnight at my nephew’s place in Saint Petersburg, in the apartment I had grown up in, prior to emigrating from the Soviet Union over fifty years ago. The following morning, as I walked in the neighbourhood located in the very […]
Эта статья доступна также по-русски. The Brandenburg Gate and the White House are laser-painted in Israeli blue-and-white colours. They used to harbour the Ukrainian blue-and-yellow colours. In both cases, Western governments pledge unlimited support and declare the recent attacks on Israel, as earlier on Ukraine, allegedly unprovoked and evil. Déjà vu. But there […]
Among my Israeli friends there used to be many liberal Zionists. They sought social justice, supported peace initiatives with the Palestinians, and otherwise believed in Israel’s progressive roots. Indeed, in its pioneer years, Zionism, while engaged in colonization of Palestine, was associated with ideas of collective endeavour and equality. Early Israeli elites often came from […]
Recently, Amnesty International has joined its voice to Human Rights Watch and several Israeli NGOs to conclude that Israel has been committing the crime of apartheid. The conclusion is based on over two hundred pages of evidence, and it concerns the treatment of Palestinians, both in Israel proper and in the territories occupied by Israel […]
Jewish historian Yakov Rabkin said that the international community is turning a blind eye to Israel’s attacks on the Palestinians by merely asserting Tel Aviv’s “right to self-defence” while the occupation is “a criminal who plays the role of the victim”. Rabkin, a professor of history at the University of Montreal, Canada, added that Israel […]
It is no secret that young Jews often find it difficult to separate Zionism from the Jewish identity as it has been taught to them. Their identity is often centered on political support for the State of Israel, and they see advocacy for Israel — a special course in the curriculum of many private Jewish […]
Earlier this month, Israel and its friends around the world celebrated the 69th anniversary of Israel’s unilateral declaration of independence. Among them was our Prime Minister who issued the following statement: “while we celebrate Israel’s independence, we also reaffirm our commitment to fight anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism.” The fact that anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism were mentioned separately […]
Meeting local Jews was one of the goals of my visit to Iran. Besides curiosity and scholarly interest, practical concerns such as finding kosher food and celebrating the Sabbath and the holiday of Purim also brought me in contact with Iranian Jews. Besides, I was invited to give academic lectures on the way Jewish law […]
In the last few decades, there has been an important shift in the way Western media and political circles relate to Zionism and Israel. What is Zionism? In the version that ultimately prevailed, it represents a nationalist movement with four essential goals: 1) to transform the transnational confessional Jewish identity centered on the Torah into […]
The recent appointment of the Soviet-born Avigdor Lieberman has aggrieved many liberal supporters of Israel. The man is on record as a proponent of ethnic cleansing, bombing the Aswan Dam in Egypt and stripping Arabs of Israeli citizenship. These critics bemoan an alleged betrayal of the ideas of the founders’ generation, such as Ben Gurion […]
Israel’s Prime Minister is well-placed to explain to the U.S. Congress the alleged danger of a nuclear Iran. After all, it was Israel and its allies in Washington who fabricated this issue to begin with. It is thus incumbent upon Mr. Netanyahu to try to give credence to that allegation even as U.S., European – […]

YOU HAVE SAID THAT IT ISN’T ACCURATE TO REFER TO ISRAEL AS “THE JEWISH STATE.” HOW CAN THAT BE? The State of Israel is a product of the Zionist revolution that successfully challenged Judaism, Jewish tradition and Jewish Diaspora. Its ethos is rooted in that revolt. Moreover, its institutions reflect Ottoman, British and East European […]
ISRAEL: CHALLENGES TO LEGITIMACY AND PROSPECTS FOR PEACE Israel has been singularly successful in ensuring her military, economic and political dominance in the region. In recent years, there have been fewer terrorist attacks on Israelis, Palestinians are badly divided, Israel enjoys solid support from major countries, and her scientists are among the Nobel Prize laureates.

Attitudes towards the Other within Judaism lie in myth, narrative, legend, and law. The narrative of differentiation occupies a central place in Judaism and infuses the development of both its laws and identity. It operates explicitly through biblical and rabbinic prescriptions, as well as implicitly, through tales. Jews are differentiated by tribe, priestly affiliation, gender […]
Published in Canadian Dimension (Winnipeg), September 2009. Demystifying Zionism By Yakov M Rabkin[1] The word “Zionism” means different things to different people. Some use it a badge of honour, unconditionally defending the state of Israel right or wrong. Yet, many Zionists take umbrage at the appellation of Israel as a Zionist state. They insist that […]

Is a Liberal Democracy a Frightening Prospect for Israel? The recent election in Israel still keeps many guessing about the eventual composition of the governing coalition. However, a larger question – about the nature of the Israeli state – was [MR1] raised on the very day of the election by no less a personality than […]
Emancipation of Jews in Western and Central Europe in the course of the nineteenth century made Jewish identity optional. Those who wanted to practice Judaism remained Jewish, others gradually assimilated and dissolved in the ambient society. But when adapted to the situation of the Jews of the Russian Empire, where the emancipation had been slow […]

TO CHICAGO TRIBUNE, November 13, 2006 Dear Editor, Your recent article titled “South Africa seen as model for Palestine” (November 12) offers hope.

Letter to Los Angeles Times, August 2004 A Dangerous Confusion Professor Dershowitz’ article « Presbyterians’ Shameful Boycott » (August 4, 2004) refers to Jews as victims of Palestinian violence.

Vrome joden hebben zich altijd fel verzet tegen het zionisme. Sinds Israël bestaat, groeide er echter een feitelijke coalitie tussen zionisten en vrome joden, al blijft een minderheid principieel tegen de seculiere staat gekant. Dit joodse antizionisme is een groot taboe in de media. Professor Yakow M. Rabkin (1945), historicus aan de Universiteit van Montreal, […]
Associare gli ebrei allo Stato di Israele è un riflesso quasi automatico. “Stato degli ebrei” e “Stato ebraico” sono diventate espressioni di uso corrente. Tuttavia, tra i sostenitori incondizionati di Israele, ci sono più cristiani che ebrei. La presente opera spiega questo paradosso apparente e mette in evidenza un fenomeno poco conosciuto, tanto agli ebrei […]

This volume looks at the impact of science on the Jewish community, in terms of two broad topics: the impact of science on traditional Jewish cultures; and the role of Jews in the scientific professions in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Israel se entiende a menudo como la realización del sueño secular de volver a la patria histórica, es decir, como la culminación triunfal de la historia judía.

Le concept de « Terre d’Israël » fait partie des termes qui soulèvent l’enthousiasme des masses.

En outre, les frontières d’Israël, dans […]

Im Namen der Thora: Die jüdische Opposition gegen den Zionismus
La storiografia contemporanea non riconosce gli ebrei haredi, (parola che si può tradurre con “i timorati”, dai media definiti ultra-ortodossi) come parte del pensiero europeo e non rende giustizia al pluralismo culturale ebraico. Come sostiene Malachi Hacohen, eminente studioso israelo-americano di storia ebraica, sarebbe necessario aprire “nuovi ambiti e ridisegnare nuovi concetti affinché la storia […]
Medical doctors driving taxis, architects selling beer on street corners, scientific institutes closed down amid rusting carcasses of industrial plants—these images became common at the turn of the twenty-first century in many once modern “civilized” countries. In quite a few of them, longtime neighbors came to kill each other, apparently motivated by the newly discovered […]
Few countries provoke as much passion and controversy as Israel. What is Modern Israel? convincingly demonstrates that its founding ideology – Zionism – is anything but a simple reaction to antisemitism. Dispelling the notion that every Jew is a Zionist and therefore a natural advocate for the state of Israel, Yakov Rabkin points to the […]

Comme il fait régulièrement la \”Une\” des journaux, l’État d’Israël nous semble familier : une démocratie à l’occidentale armée jusqu’aux dents au cœur d’un Proche-Orient hostile, protégé par les Etats-Unis et opprimant le peuple palestinien. Mais qu’en est-il vraiment ? Comprendre l’État d’Israël et ses fondements, voilà ce à quoi nous invite l’historien Yakov Rabkin, […]

Книга Якова Рабкина “Еврей против еврея” – это история неприятия еврейского национализма со стороны мыслителей и духовных лидеров иудейства, которые в принципе отрицают идею политического самоопределения евреев. Яков Рабкин демонстрирует идейное многообразие еврейской общественной жизни и тем самым подрывает антисемитскую ложь о мировом еврейском заговоре. Выдвигая убедительные аргументы против антисемитских теорий, эта книга никого не […]
Existe divergência entre o movimento sionista e a prática religiosa do judaísmo? Quais razões levam judeus a serem contrários à política sionista? Em Judeus contra Judeus – A história da oposição judaica ao sionismo, o historiador Yakov Rabkin realiza um minucioso estudo sobre as razões históricas e religiosas que levam judeus a se oporem ao […]
El sionismo proclama que el Estado de Israel representa a todos los judios del mundo. Si esto fuera verdad por que cada vez con mas frecuencia miles de judios protestan publicamente contra el Estado de Israel Yakov Rabkin explica como el sionismo y la creacion del Estado israeli fue un invento europeo y nacionalista que […]
Patronat: Żydowski Instytut Historyczny Zadaniem tej książki jest zaprezentowanie czytelnikowi historii oporu przeciwko “nieubłaganemu i wszechogarniającemu” zagrożeniu syjonizmu, oporu, którego konceptualne podłoże niewiele się zmieniło przez ostatnie 120 lat. Książka ta rzuca światło na żywotną, upartą postawę, którą zwolennicy syjonizmu postrzegają z kolei jako świętokradztwo. Wśród krytyków syjonizmu, z którymi spotykamy się na kartach książki, […]
A Threat from Within presents a history of Jewish opposition to Zionism, and challenges the myths that lie at the very root of contemporary or ‘new’ anti-Semitism. A principled and enduring opposition to Zionism has come from spiritual leaders of Judaism and has not died away despite the State of Israel existence as an imposing […]
Yakov M. Rabkin es profesor de Historia en la Universidad de Montreal, Canadá. Sus campos de investigación son la Historia judía contemporánea y la Historia de las ciencias. La asociación de los judíos con el Estado de Israel es fácil, casi automática. ?Estado judío? y ?Estado hebreo? se han convertido en términos de uso corriente. […]
Vrome joden hebben zich altijd fel verzet tegen het zionisme. Sinds Israël bestaat, groeide er echter een feitelijke coalitie tussen zionisten en vrome joden, al blijft een minderheid principieel tegen de seculiere staat gekant. Dit joodse antizionisme is een groot taboe in de media. Professor Yakow M. Rabkin (1945), historicus aan de Universiteit van Montreal, […]
Associare gli ebrei allo Stato di Israele è un riflesso quasi automatico. “Stato degli ebrei” e “Stato ebraico” sono diventate espressioni di uso corrente. Tuttavia, tra i sostenitori incondizionati di Israele, ci sono più cristiani che ebrei. La presente opera spiega questo paradosso apparente e mette in evidenza un fenomeno poco conosciuto, tanto agli ebrei […]
An extremely interesting and valuable book. Noam Chomsky, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA Je ne peux que saluer la rédaction d’un ouvrage «non conventionnel» sur des faits trop souvent occultés. À nous d’en tirer les enseignements. Rabbin Moshé G.Ackermann, Directeur de Nerlitz, Institut francophone d’études juives, Jérusalem En tant que patriote israélien et en […]
The end of this century has witnessed dramatic changes in morality, history and geography. These changes were felt throughout the world, and also across the entire gamut of professional concerns. Even relatively remote and seemingly insulated activities such as science and technology have experienced, and up to a point contributed to, these dramatic changes. This […]
This volume looks at the impact of science on the Jewish community, in terms of two broad topics: the impact of science on traditional Jewish cultures; and the role of Jews in the scientific professions in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Israel se entiende a menudo como la realización del sueño secular de volver a la patria histórica, es decir, como la culminación triunfal de la historia judía. Pero los fundadores del movimiento sionista pretendían romper con la historia para construir una nueva sociedad y crear un hombre nuevo. Y, como demuestran la sociedad y la […]

Israël, l’État de tous les juifs? Dans son plus récent ouvrage, le professeur d’histoire de l’Université de Montréal Yakov Rabkin explore jusqu’à la racine la mythologie israélienne pour montrer que l’État qui claironne être celui de tous les juifs du monde est loin de faire l’unanimité parmi les principaux intéressés. Métro l’a rencontré. Au lendemain […]
Le concept de « Terre d’Israël » fait partie des termes qui soulèvent l’enthousiasme des masses. Pourtant, il est d’origine prophétique et ne se trouve pas dans le Pentateuque qui se réfère à « Terre de Canaan », « Terre des Amoréens » ou « Terre des Hébreux ». En outre, les frontières d’Israël, dans […]

Medici che guidano i taxi, architetti che vendono birra agli angoli delle strade, istituti scientifici chiusi in mezzo a impianti industriali arrugginiti, esecuzioni capitali in favore di telecamera; ancora, il sentimento nazionale che cede il passo al ritorno di identità tribali, etniche e confessionali; le fake-news, onnipresenti, che si diffondono in tutto il mondo, grazie […]
Im Namen der Thora: Die jüdische Opposition gegen den Zionismus
La storiografia contemporanea non riconosce gli ebrei haredi, (parola che si può tradurre con “i timorati”, dai media definiti ultra-ortodossi) come parte del pensiero europeo e non rende giustizia al pluralismo culturale ebraico. Come sostiene Malachi Hacohen, eminente studioso israelo-americano di storia ebraica, sarebbe necessario aprire “nuovi ambiti e ridisegnare nuovi concetti affinché la storia […]
Medical doctors driving taxis, architects selling beer on street corners, scientific institutes closed down amid rusting carcasses of industrial plants—these images became common at the turn of the twenty-first century in many once modern “civilized” countries. In quite a few of them, longtime neighbors came to kill each other, apparently motivated by the newly discovered […]
Few countries provoke as much passion and controversy as Israel. What is Modern Israel? convincingly demonstrates that its founding ideology – Zionism – is anything but a simple reaction to antisemitism. Dispelling the notion that every Jew is a Zionist and therefore a natural advocate for the state of Israel, Yakov Rabkin points to the […]
В книге представлены основные аспекты жизни израильского общества. Кроме того, автор анализирует причины непрекращающихся уже много десятилетий нападок на легитимность сионизма и созданного на его основе государства.
Comme il fait régulièrement la \”Une\” des journaux, l’État d’Israël nous semble familier : une démocratie à l’occidentale armée jusqu’aux dents au cœur d’un Proche-Orient hostile, protégé par les Etats-Unis et opprimant le peuple palestinien. Mais qu’en est-il vraiment ? Comprendre l’État d’Israël et ses fondements, voilà ce à quoi nous invite l’historien Yakov Rabkin, […]
Bir milliyetçi proje olarak ortaya çıkan Siyonizmin temel hedefi belliydi: Yeni bir dil, yeni bir toprak, yeni bir siyasal anlayış yaratarak tek ortak yönleri aynı dine mensubiyet olan, farklı diller konuşan ve dünyanın dört bir köşesinde yaşayan geniş yelpazeden bir grup insanı seküler bir ulusa çevirmek.
