Quotation from Collectif “Nous affirmons que l'objectif du judaïsme n'est ni politique, ni national, mais spirituel” — Jul. 11 1897
Décision de la 8eme convention des rabbins américains, Montréal, 6-11 juillet 1997.
" Nous désapprouvons totalement toute initiative visant à la création d'un État juif. Des tentatives de ce genre mettent en évidence une conception erronée de la mission d'Israël… que les Prophètes juifs furent les premiers à proclamer... Nous affirmons que l'objectif du judaïsme n'est ni politique, ni national, mais spirituel... Il vise une époque messianique où tous les hommes reconnaîtront appartenir à une seule grande communauté pour l'établissement du Royaume de Dieu sur la terre.
"
" Resolved , That we totally disapprove of any attempt for the establishment of a Jewish state. Such attempts show a misunderstanding of Israel's mission, which from the narrow political and rational field has been expanded to the promotion among the whole human race of the broad and universalistic religion first proclaimed by the Jewish prophets. Such attempts do not benefit, but infinitely harm our Jewish brethren where they are still persecuted, by confirming the assertion of their enemies that the Jews are foreigners in the countries in which they are at home, and of which they are everywhere the most loyal and patriotic citizens.
, and addresses itself to the continuous growth of peace, justice and love in the human race, to a messianic time when all men will recognize that they form "one great brotherhood " for the establishment of God's kingdom on earth. "
