National Precedents Set by Yeshurun
1923: Yeshurun creates the model of a "religious Zionist" congregation when it is founded with the blessing of Rav Kook, the spiritual father of religious Zionism. The congregation meets in temporary facilities until its permanent home on King George Street is finished (1936).
1934: Yeshurun makes a bold decision to design its permanent home in the modern International Bauhaus style, a departure from architectural tradition and a visual statement of the religious Zionist commitment expressed by Rav Kook, to "sanctify the new".
1944: Yeshurun sets an example for the nation in honoring Righteous Gentiles, by holding a memorial at the death of Orde Wingate, the British officer whose clandestine military training of the Jews provided the basis for the IDF. Israel's Chief Rabbis read Psalms and recite prayers for the devout Christian nicknamed "Ha-Yadid", the friend of Israel.
1945: Yeshurun conducts the first modern "Hakhel" ceremony to commemorate the closing of the Shmittah year (the seventh year of rest for the Land), reviving a custom that lay dormant for nearly 2000 years. The "Hakhel" becomes an established Shmittah tradition for Chief Rabbis and civic leaders in the State of Israel from that point on.
1966: Yeshurun hosts a seminal meeting led by two of the most prestigious religious academics in Israel, Professor Efraim Urbach and Professor Yeshayahu Leibowitz, who call for a modern halakhic outreach to the Israeli people. Their organization, "Tenuah L’Yahadut shel Torah – the Movement for Torah Judaism" remains in existence until 1975, and other outreach efforts soon sprout.
2004: Yeshurun celebrates 80 years of community service. The event is commemorated with festivities, as well as yet another bold Zionist declaration: Synagogue members visit Gush Katif residents to show solidarity, expressing opposition to the removal of all Jewish presence from the Gaza Strip.
