Neturei Karta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1955 words) |
 | Neturei Karta (Aramaic: "Guardians of the City") is a group of Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox) Jews who reject all forms of Zionism and actively oppose the State of Israel. |
| Adherents of Neturei Karta stress those portions in rabbinic literature which state that the Jewish people were first sent into exile from the land of Israel for their sins. |
| With their help, Neturei Karta was able to withstand paying taxes to the state that they did not recognize and conversely, to avoid obtaining any benefits from that state by revitalizing the halukah distribution of funds that characterized earlier generations. |
| Neturei Karta - definition of Neturei Karta in Encyclopedia (1814 words) |
| Neturei Karta (Aramaic: "Guardians of the City") is a group of Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox) Jews who not only reject all forms of Zionism (as do some other Orthodox Jewish communities), but also actively oppose the State of Israel. |
| Adherents of Neturei Karta stress the section of classical rabbinic literature which states that the Jewish people were first sent into exile from the land of Israel for their sins. |
| Hirsch notes that there is a striking accord between the views of Neturei Karta and those of Fatah, which is the dominant party in the present Palestinian Authority: both seek to distinguish Judaism from Zionism, both favour a secular and nonsectarian government in Palestine. |
