Amid the massive missionary activities in India’s remote areas, World Magshimey Herut (liberty achievers), a member organization of the World Zionist Organization, has announced that it has opened a new branch with the establishment of Herut India. This Jewish organization Would Herut was founded in 2000, and in February 2002, it was accepted into the WZO as one of the nine Zionist World Unions. Herut is an international movement for Zionist pride and education and is dedicated to the ideals of pre-World War-II Zionist leader ZeтАЩev Jabotinsky. HerutтАЩs world headquarters is in Tel Aviv, Israel and it maintains branches in 11 additional countries (more about Herut can be found at https://herutna.org).
According to World Herut’s executive director Karma Feinstein Cohen, the need for the ideas of the great Zionist leader, ZeтАЩev Jabotinsky has perhaps never been greater in the Diaspora in the last 50 years than now. World Herut sees the utmost importance in bringing the tribes home, meaning the ingathering of all the Jewish people, of our sisters and brothers from the four corners of the earth. We are all part of one united Jewish people. Herut has launched its newest branch in India and we are absolutely ecstatic, she added in the above speech.
In a small event, Feinstein Cohen thanked the leaders of the new Jewish branch and said that we cannot thank and praise the fantastic leaders of Herut India enough. Warm congratulations to Rivka Reis who brought together Jews from across India and recruited many new Herut members. Her commitment to Zionism and the Jewish people is unbelievable. We look forward to building a strong Zionist movement in India.
Reis herself pleased and said that Herut India is the newest branch of HerutтАЩs movement of ‘unapologetic Zionists’. We have families involved with Herut in both the north and the south of India as well as from emerging Jewish communities. We wish to promote Zionism in order to bring about a deeper sense of love and belonging to Eretz Yisrael.
In addition to the above mentioned news, it seems to be very much shocking that when Islamic, Christian and even Jewish communities are capable of doing conversion in the tribal-belt of rural India, how and why has the countryтАЩs largest Hindu community gone on the ventilator? In the place of stopping these missionaries and bringing the tribes back in India’s main Hindu-stream, Hindus are only criticizing them and thinking that they have done their job well.
However we, the Team Baba Israeli, are absolutely sure that these newly-converted Jewish people of India would never act against India and always would work for strengthening the nation but in the back-end of this matter, nobody can ignore this fact that this shameful тАШEternal-eye-closing behaviourтАЩ of India’s тАШEternal communityтАЩ about their existence, would never be forgotten and forgiven in the coming future.
ShalOm…!
