The relationship between Haredim and Zionism has always been a difficult one. Before the establishment of the State of Israel, the majority of Haredi Jewry was opposed to Zionism. After the Holocaust, some Haredi groups, such as Ger and Chabad-Lubavitch, became strong supporters of the State of Israel, while others, most notably the Satmar Hasidic movement remained strongly opposed to it. Haredi Judaism, also called ultra-Orthodox Judaism, is the most theologically conservative form of Judaism. ...

A previous Rebbe of the Satmar Hassidim, in his famous book "VaYoel Moshe," called the creation of the Israeli state an "act of Satan", [1]blame Zionism for the Holocaust and call them the greatest form of spiritual impurity in the entire world.[2]

Background
The Talmud, in Ketubot 111a, mentions that the Jewish people have been bound by three oaths: 1) not to ascend to Eretz Yisrael (the Land of Israel) as a group using force; 2) not to rebel against the nations of the world; and 3) not to delay the coming of Moshiach, the Jewish messiah, through their own sins. Zionism is perceived[citation needed] as a violation of all three, but primarily the first two oaths.

In Poland and Hungary in 1920s, most Haredi Jewish movements, including the entire Hasidic world, remained opposed to Zionism. In some cases this opposition was only mild and passive; in other cases it was very strong. The strongest forms of anti-Zionism originated in Hungary, where in 1920 a group of 12 leading rabbis condemned Zionism in very strong words.[3] It was followed by a similar declaration in 1925.[4] Hasidic movements strongly opposing Zionism are, amongst others, Satmar, Bobov, Munkacz, Belz, Vizhnitz, Toldos Aharon, Dushinsky, Pshevorsk, Tosh and many others. [5] Satmar is the biggest Hasidic movement in the world today, with a membership estimated between 100,000 and 125,000 persons; Belz numbers circa 50,000 people.

Regardless of their position, almost none of these groups and rabbis opposes the idea of Jews as individuals emigrating to Israel, but rather oppose the notion of Jewish sovereignty over the Land of Israel, either in its current form, or sometimes in any form at all.
Also, the vast majority of anti-Zionist Haredim will support Israel to the outside world. Very few of them actively cooperate with non-Jewish anti-Zionist movements, due to the perceived anti-Semitic nature of many of these groups.
Amongst the Orthodox rabbinical leadership, religious Zionists form a minority. [6]
Different Haredi groups on the issue of Zionism
Lithuanian ('Litvish') Haredi Judaism A number of Lithuanian leaders like the Chazon Ish (1878-1953), Rav Shach (1898-2001), and Rabbi Yosef Sholom Eliashiv, have expressed strongly anti-Zionist views. Examples of this are found in lectures and letters of Rav Shach. [7] The main newspaper of the Litvish world, the Yated Neeman, regularly publishes articles strongly criticizing Zionism, naming it a 'heretical movement'. The main Litvish community does vote, as per the instructions of the Brisker Rov and the Chazon Ish. [8] Rabbi Yosef Sholom Eliashiv urges his students to vote for the Degel HaTorah list. The opposition of the Litvish world against Zionism differs from that of the Hasidic world in that it is mainly focused on the secular character of Zionism, and less strongly so on the issue of a Jewish state being forbidden whether it is religious or not. Rabbi Avraham Yeshayahu Karelitz, The Chazon Ish Avraham Yeshayahu Karelitz (also Yishayahu, Yeshayah, Yeshayah, Yishaya - in English Abraham Isaiah Karelitz) (1878-1953) known by his pen name as the Chazon Ish (in Hebrew: Vision [of] Man), was a Lithuanian born Orthodox rabbi who became leader of Haredi Judaism in Israel. ...

Nonetheless, one of the leaders of the Lithuanian Jewish world, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein (1895-1986) expressed something approaching ambivalent support of the State of Israel, claiming that it is proper to pray for the Welfare of the State of Israel, so long as one does not call it the "first flowering of the redemption." (The reference is to the standard Zionist prayer for the Welfare of the State of Israel, which refers to the State as the first flowering of the Redemption.)

Hardal The Hardal community is a community of Haredim who support the state of Israel. Hardal itself is an acronym for Haredi Dati Leumi. Dati Leumi refers to religious Jews who are Zionists.

Satmar The Satmar Hassidic movement, whose previous Rebbe, Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum wrote an extensive refutation of Zionism entitled Vayoel Moshe, counts more than 100,000 members alone. Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum of Satmar, whose movement counts more than 100,000 followers, wrote in his book Vayoel Moshe, written during the 1960s, that the Holocaust came to pass only because of the Zionists, that the Zionists made sure that fleeing Jews were refused entry to western nations, and that the Zionists have intentionally caused a huge rise in antisemitism around the world. He held that all of Israel's wars were against Jewish law, that Zionism is the greatest spiritual impurity in the entire world, and that it is the duty of every God-fearing Jew to oppose the Zionists as much as he can. [9] Satmar is the largest Hasidic group in existence today. ...

Grand Rabbi Joel (Yoel) Teitelbaum, (1887-1979), known variously as Reb Yoelish and the Satmar Rav (or Rebbe) (יו×ל טייטלבוי×), was a prominent Hungarian Hasidic rebbe and Talmudic scholar. ...
Historically, Satmar has played a major role in Jerusalem's Edah HaChareidis rabbinical council;; the last two Satmar Rebbes, Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum and Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum, succeeded each other as its President, with Rabbi Joel serving from 1953 until his death in 1979, and his nephew and successor Rabbi Moshe leading it from 1979 until his death in 2006. All movements affiliated with the Edah accept Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum's Vayoel Moshe as binding. The Edah HaCharedis (Hebrew: העדה החרדית HaEdah HaCharedis), also written Edah Haredit, is a prominent Haredi rabbinical body in present-day Jerusalem. ...
Satmar and Neturei Karta are often confused by people not aware of the difference between these movements. While certain elements of Neturei Karta actively cooperate with Arab and Islamic movements calling for the destruction of Israel, Satmar Hassidim have never and will never do this, as they have been instructed by their leaders.
Occasionally, Zionists attempt to counter those who bring the Satmar Rebbe's books against Zionism as sources for opposing Zionism by claiming that Satmar is a "tiny group". An example of this is the online "Zionism-Israel" dictionary, which claims to publish only factual material, but writes "tiny groups of reactionary ultraorthodox Jews ... the Satmar and similar groups". [10] The claim of Satmar being a "tiny group" is easily refuted by evidence readily available on the internet.[11]
Ger and Belz Hasidism The Ger and Belz Hasidic movements have adopted a pragmatically supportive stance towards the state of Israel. While both movements have a history of anti-Zionism before the establishment of the State just like that of all other Hassidic movements, their positions changed in 1948, as a result of the State's foundation. While they do not say prayers for the State of Israel nor do they serve in the Israeli military. However, they do vote, and Ger mildly opposes withdrawals from the occupied territories. Ger and Belz are the most influential movements behind the Israeli political party Agudat Yisrael, which together with Litvish Degel HaTorah forms United Torah Judaism. Ger, or Gur (or Gerrer when used as an adjective) is a large Hasidic dynasty originating from Gur, the Yiddish name of Góra Kalwaria, a small town in Poland. ...

However, the last Lubavitcher Rebbe expressed overwhelming support for the State's military endeavors, strongly condemning any transfers of land as against Jewish law. His reasoning, however, was not based on any theological argument. Rather, he argued that the safety of the Jewish people was paramount, and physical presence of so many Jews in one place meant that the borders of that place had to be protected. Nonetheless, he did draw support for his statements from the notion in the Torah that the land of Israel was given to the Jewish people, and that Jewish ownership of the land could not be overcome by mere political interests. Nonetheless, he refused to call the state by name, claiming that the holy land exists independent of any authority that sees itself as sovereign over the land. He further criticized feelings of nationalism connected to the State of Israel, claiming that the only thing that unites Jews is the Torah, not a secular state that happens to be planted on holy land.

Haredi books about Zionism Several books on the issue of Zionism were written by different rabbis.
Eim HaBanim Semeichah Eim HaBanim Semeichah was written by Rabbi Shlomo Teichtal, and published in 1943. Teichtal grew up a staunch anti-Zionist, Chassid of the Munkatsher Rebbe. However, during the Holocaust, Rabbi Teichtal adopted a decidedly different position from the one he espoused in his youth and that held by the Haredi community leaders. The physical product of that introspection is the book, Eim HaBanim Semeichah, in which he specifically retracts his previous viewpoints, and argues that the true redemption can only come if the Jewish people unite and rebuild the land of Israel. [15] Many of his coreligionists viewed the book with skepticism, some going so far as to ban Rabbi Teichtal from their synagogues. [2] The Rebbe of Munkacz (or Munkatch), Rabbi Chaim Elazar Shapiro (who led the community from 1913 until his death in 1937) was the most outspoken voice of religious anti-Zionism. ...
In the book, Rabbi Teichtal strongly criticizes the Haredim for not supporting the Zionist movement. When it was written, it was a scathing criticism of the Jewish Orthodox establishment, and Agudas Israel in particular.

He writes:
It is clear that he who prepares prior to the Sabbath will eat on the Sabbath (Avodah Zarah, 3a), and since the Haredim did not toil, they have absolutely no influence in the Land (of Israel). Those who toil and build have the influence, and they are the masters of the Land. It is, therefore, no wonder that they are in control... Now, what will the Haredim say? I do not know if they will ever be able to vindicate themselves before the heavenly court for not participating in the movement to rebuild the Land. (p. 23)
Sefer Vayoel Moshe Vayoel Moshe[16] was written by the Satmar Rebbe Joel Teitelbaum (1887-1979). It consists of three parts: Maamar Shalosh Shevuos (three oaths), Maamar Yishuv Eretz Yisroel (settling the Land of Israel), and Maamar Loshon HaKodesh (the holy tongue). The first part, which is the main part of the book, discusses the three oaths mentioned in Ketubot 111a - that the Jewish people is not allowed to ascend to Eretz Yisrael by force, that the Jewish people is not allowed to rebel against the nations of the world, and that the Jewish people may not by their sins delay the coming of Moshiach, the Jewish messiah. It is primarily a book of Halacha, Jewish law. In the book, Rabbi Teitelbaum refers to religious Zionism as a major desecration of G-d's name, blames Zionism for the Holocaust, and refers to Zionist leaders such as Theodor Herzl as 'heretics'. Satmar is the largest Hasidic group in existence today. ...

Involvement with the State Among Haredi anti-Zionist movements, opinions differ on the attitude to take now that the state exists. Some movements remained actively anti-Zionist, others lowered their voice; some refuse to vote, while others do vote; some accept money from the government, while others will not.
Neturei Karta organizes active demonstrations calling on others not to vote on election days. Some of whose members refrain from using Israeli government-subsidized buses, since bus tickets are partially subsidized by the government as in most western countries. They also prefer not to touch Israeli money, and do not acknowledge the authority of the Israeli police in any matter, including criminal affairs. Some of those who affiliate with Neturei Karta have physically attacked those rabbis who hold that it is permissable to vote. [3]
Meanwhile the Edah HaChareidis rabbinical council of Jerusalem and its associated communities, including Satmar, Dushinsky, Toldos Aharon and Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok, do not vote and do not accept government money. Around election days, posters by the Edah HaChareidis are posted throughout Haredi neighborhoods of Jerusalem proclaiming that it is forbidden to vote in the elections, and that doing so is a grave sin. Nevertheless, the Edah HaChareidis and its affiliated movements do recognize the authority of the Israeli police in criminal matters.
