From Confrontation to Partnership
Zionism embodied the realization that the Jewish people must take an active role in realizing their destiny. It is this belief that has led to the return to Zion and to the birth of the State of Israel. However, part and parcel of the biblical vision that inspired these great achievements is a vision of the Jewish people healing our relationship with the rest of humanity: not only living together in peace and harmony, but also becoming partners in serving God and fulfilling His will. Here too it is essential for the Jewish people to play an active role to achieve this goal.
