Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt

Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt is the founding rabbi of Congregation B’nai Tzedek in Potomac, Md., and is chairman of the Zionist Rabbinic Coalition.

Jewish clergy, Christian supporters, Congress members and more gather in Washington, D.C., to show support for Israel and join the fight against antisemitism.

It is imperative to ensure that Zionism and Israel are central to the education of the next generation of rabbis.
At a time when we debate what constitutes anti-Semitism and whether or not anti-Zionism is a form of anti-Semitism, we should be united in confronting the Amalekites of our world and not fear them.
He minimized Palestinian acts of violence and misapplied the experience of apartheid in South Africa to Israel.
Let us speak out, so that those who denounce Israel so loudly, non-Jew or Jew, do not change us or diminish our unity or love for our people.
The last thing we Jews need to worry about is that debate about Israel’s policies will be stifled, or that there isn’t enough criticism of Israel.
Three core Jewish values—belief and trust in science and medical care, the primacy of the command to preserve life and a strong sense of community—all contribute to Israel’s success with the COVID-19 vaccination program.
He has been one of the loudest voices in the Palestinian leadership to express support for terrorists and payments to their families, and to justify attacks against Israelis as legitimate acts of resistance.
