| Summary: | Agudat Israel president Jakob Rosenheim's unpublished materials and dispersed newspaper articles and pamphlets during the war reveal a distinctive theological interpretation of the catastrophe. Namely, that it resulted from an unbridled national sovereignty which began at the beginning of history with Nimrod and finally exploded with Hitler. Israel stood for the anti-sovereign principle and therefore suffered. As such, Israel was identifiable with the ideal organic unity of mankind, which was ultimately rooted in God and His Torah. The anti-sovereign principle was alien, in Rosenheim's view, to a Jewish state which was established by man and not under God's sovereignty. |
