Watch the video version on Miko Peled’s Youtube Page  Author, speaker, and human rights activist, Miko Peled, sat down with Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro for part two of an ongoing discussion about anti-Zionism in the context of Orthodox Judaism, the origins of this movement, how it plays out within Israel, anti-semitism, and nation state building in the name of Judaism. Miko weaves in questions submitted by his audience into this conversation to help drive the conversation.  Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro: Rabbi Shapiro is a retired rabbi emeritus of a congregation in Queens, New York who is known for his exceptional understanding of Judaism and various components of Jewish identity and is perhaps best known for his original and outspoken stance defending the historic Orthodox Jewish position that rejects the concept of Jewish nationalism and thus, opposes Zionism.
