The Israel-Hamas war has exposed a rift within the Haredi Orthodox Jewish community in the United States.

The American charedi Gedolei Torah's response to the March for Israel rally led to controversy, with no rabbis attending and ranging from weak endorsement to outright opposition.

Rav Aharon Feldman, a highly respected rabbi and member of Agudas Yisraels Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, released a letter explaining his decision to withdraw support from a pro-Israel rally in Washington.

In the Winter 2023 issue of the Jewish Review of Books, editor Abraham Socher discusses an essay by Hillel Halkin that challenges the idea of Jews as the chosen people and questions whether Israel has failed to become a normal nation.

Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein reviewed Rabbi Aharon Feldman's book "The Eye of the Storm" and engaged in a dialogue with Rabbi Feldman regarding their differing views on feminist halachah and secular Zionism.
