Smotrich: “Zionism without Torah is lost"
The Minister of Finance and Chairman of Religious Zionism wrote that the holiday of Shavuot expresses the deep connection between the Torah, the land and settlement in the Land
Assessment
Finance Minister Smotrich is using the Shavuot holiday to deliver a political message, binding national settlement to religious mandate. The framing suggests a core tenet of his party's platform: that Torah law is the essential foundation for Zionist land claims. This is not a neutral holiday greeting but a deliberate ideological positioning ahead of potential coalition debates.
