This is the first fullscale history of the only organized American Jewish opposition to Zionism during the 1940s. Despite extensive literature on the Zionist movement, the Jewish opposition to Zionism has received only marginal and usually negative attention. In this impartial study, Thomas A. Kolsky examines the neglected phenomenon of Jewish antiZionism, its roots, and its results.In 1942, a number of dissident Reform rabbis founded the American Council for Judaism, the first and only Jewish organization created to fight against Zionism and the establishment of a Jewish state. Emphasizing the purely religious nature of Judaism and unequivocally rejecting Jewish nationalism, the Council supported free Jewish immigration and equal rights for Jews throughout the world. For Palestine, specifically, it advocated establishment of a democratic state wherein all citizens, regardless of their religion, would enjoy equal political rights.Summarizing both the history of Zionism and the history of American Jews, Kolsky traces the effects of the Holocaust on the Zionist movement and the personalities that shaped the leadership of the Council. Its position toward Zionism has particular contemporary relevance in understanding the historical relationship between Israel and the Palestinians.

I had high hopes for this book, but it didn’t deliver as expected. Some chapters felt disjointed and I was hoping for a more cohesive narrative. The subject matter is crucial, but the execution fell flat for me. I would suggest checking it out from the library before deciding to buy it.

A must-read for anyone interested in history
This book offers a unique perspective on a complex topic. The insights from the American Council for Judaism during 1942-1948 are fascinating and provide a voice that’s often overlooked. I found it enlightening and thought-provoking; definitely worth adding to your collection if you’re into Jewish history and political discourse.

Interesting but needed more context
While I appreciate the effort put into this book, I felt some parts lacked depth and context. The historical significance of the American Council for Judaism is important, but I sometimes struggled to connect the dots. Still, it’s a valuable addition to the discussion on Zionism and should be read by those with a keen interest in the topic.
