Youtube Video: Rabbi Yosef Chaim Zonnenfeld On Zionism

Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld (1849 – 1932) was the Chief Rabbi of the Ashkenazi charedi Jewish community of Jerusalem during the years of the British mandate and co-founder of the Edah HaChareidis. Rabbi Sonnenfeld was born in VrbovĂ©, Slovakia, and became an orphan at age 4.

Rabbi Sonnenfeld studied under leading rabbis in Pressburg and Kobersdorf, before moving to Jerusalem in 1873....

...Rabbi Sonnenfeld was strongly anti-Zionist and sent a delegate, Dutchman Jacob Israel de Haan, to Jordan with a peace proposal for King Abdullah." (Source: Breslev)
