Reply To: Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky and the modern State of Israel

Similarly, he [Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky ZTL ZYA] concluded,

from losing any connection to the Jewish people
must mitigate [decrease] our kana�us, even as our love
for our fellow Jews in Eretz Yisrael
must �not blind us to [their] shortcomings.�
