CA A Rabbi explains why Judaism will outlive Zionism | Rabbi Alissa Wise | The Big Picture Middle East Eye 2.78M subscribers 31,369 views Feb 19, 2025 ✪ Members first on February 18, 2025 The Big Picture Podcast Is Judaism itself an anti-Zionist religion? According to Rabbi and organiser Alissa Wise, it's precisely the teachings of her faith that informs her stance against Israel, and her advocacy for a free Palestine. 

 

 

 Rabbi Wise is a former organiser with Jewish Voice for Peace, and in December 2023 founded the group Rabbis for Ceasefire, calling for an end to Israel's genocide in Gaza. The group now has more than 200 members, all of them teachers of the Jewish faith. They're a part of a growing movement of dissenting voices within Jewish communities challenging ideas that were taboo for decades.

 

 

Back in November, shortly after the re-election of Donald Trump, The Big Picture Podcast travelled to Philadelphia to meet with Rabbi Alissa Wise to talk about the history of Judaism and the Jewish people. 

 

 

And why standing against Zionism is the most Jewish thing she can do.
