"What Do You Think About Israel and Palestine?" – Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi (March 14, 2006)
On March 14th, 2006, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi (1924-2014) was interviewed at Congregation Bonai Shalom in Boulder, Colorado by Sadieh Zaman.
Transcript:
What are your views on the issue of Israel and Palestine?
Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi: You are touching something that gives me an ache in the heart. Before the '67 war, I tried to publish a piece, in which I wrote that Jerusalem needs to be internationalized. I wanted to see the United Nations move there away from New York, into the place where the prophets have said, "My house shall be a house of prayer for all peoples." (Isaiah 56:7) And that the then nascent Israeli army should be the beginning of the Peace Corps for the United Nations, and that we should all put together - at the time when we paid 39 cents a gallon for gasoline - a penny per gallon to help resettle the Palestinian refugees. It fell on deaf ears. You know, I still have some feelings about that.
I have children in Israel, and whenever I go there, I want to meet with those people... And among the people that count themselves as my students, there have been those who have put on every year a sulha - a meeting between Arabs, Christians, Muslims and Jews - to have... the word sulha comes from when two beduin tribes would create peace among themselves and do mutual forgiveness. And each year the celebration has grown. So I am very much for this to happen. If the question is about 'What is just?' and 'What is right?' I think all the people are trying to deal with that, are taking for granted that the cortex can solve the problem. It is not a problem of the cortex. It is a problem of the reptilian brain of Jews and of Arabs, and of Palestinians there. And it is also a problem of how this is being abused by people who want to stay in power by finding a 'whipping boy' about that. We could have had the United States of the Middle East in such a wonderful way, in which the talents and the resources of all of us could have helped each other. And Al-Quds [the Arabic name for Jerusalem] could have been a holy place for Jews, for Christians, for Muslims, in a way that Isaiah foresaw way before. So I have that vision, and I think that is a strong and important vision.
How likely is it that your vision will actually prevail?
Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi: It has no other choice. It has no other choice. When people look at every bit of karma that is coming down the pike, if they still think that some one group is going to win over the thing, they are wrong. They are wrong. What they cannot see yet is higher than national sovereignty; it is an organismic interaction. That is why I am talking about 'United States of the Middle East.'
So look - a visionary is not one that everybody agrees with; but if I do not put such a vision out, and if my colleagues do not put such a vision out - like the Rabbis for Human Justice, and so on and so forth - if they did not put that vision out, then it would never get there. And I would like to see my counterparts on the other side, among Palestinians... And I know there are some, I've met some of them; I spent some time recently with a Naqshbandi sheikh in Jerusalem, and it was wonderful!

    The question is why 10? 8 sounds like a good number? why Kaddish? Mediation is also nice. So where does this end? What remains do we have of our sacred tradition? To point out we learn the number 10, from the negative act of the spies which numbered 10 -- it was men that messed up not women.

      You make a really important point to see how part of his "solution" is simply recreating patterns of harm ... i.e The creation of United States displaced indigenous (traditional) peoples. “We cannot solve a problem with the same mind (level of consciousness) that created it.” -AE When our focus is power, money and control... there will likely never be any common ground for authentic connection and true repair. He highlights this point...the “survival” aka “disconnected brain” cannot solve the problems it created!! Trauma will continually repeat the patterns of trauma and harm. We see this so clearly in our very own lives with friends, families and lovers. We keep meeting our own reflection and recreating "battlegrounds" wherever we go! We must see with our heart-mind. To do this... we first must connect fully& authentically with our very own bodies to begin healing. Only then can we connect authentically outward to receive others without unconscious triggering. What is needed right now is embodied meeting of our heart-minds. Together we are a field of formless awareness. We must be able to sit down and listen fully with curiosity & understanding to each other's experiences... with calm bodies, kind hearts, and clear minds. It is in this supreme connection that imagination will thrive and solutions will materialize in very organic, abundant and healing ways.

Wasting seed serves no purpose but is physically pleasurable, just like using drugs. Should we encourage young people to use drugs only on Shabbat? To sin is one thing, but to teach others to sin and to do it exclusively on Shabbat is another level of evil.

"Just the facts, Ma''am" is the vibe that's set by these serious chroniclers. You can visibly detect his discomfort, each time he answers in such a warm, human way and the interlocutor lets all these dazzling moments fall flat, and just proceeds to pose the next question, in perfect monotone. Depressing, disappointing, shoddy work. But the man is miraculous, so, what can you do, but thank the foundation for this?

    Psychedelics were common in Rabbi ZSS’s generation even though it was called the Greatest Generation. Most of those who pushed drugs in the 60s were from his generation. Drugs and alcohol consumption were also very common in the suburban sprawl that the Greatest Generation created and settled to combat the isolation and loneliness of suburbia particularly among housewives. But a psychedelic induced spiritual experience is a fake one. It comes from chemicals not from God. Therefore it may well be idolatry. Definitely not one of Rabbi ZSS’s better ideas.
