Orthodox Jewish Opposition
Rabbi Moses Feinstein called the Israel flag "a foolish and meaningless object" and discouraged it being displayed in synagogues. Former Sephardic chief rabbi of Israel, Ovadia Yosef, forbade the flying of the Israeli flag in the synagogue. The Chazon Ish went further to forbid entry into a synagogue decorated with an Israeli flag even if there is no other synagogue in the area.

Famous quotes containing the words orthodox, jewish and/or opposition:
“The gloomy theology of the orthodox—the Calvinists—I do not, I cannot believe. Many of the notions—nay, most of the notions—which orthodox people have of the divinity of the Bible, I disbelieve. I am so nearly infidel in all my views, that too, in spite of my wishes, that none but the most liberal doctrines can command my assent.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Jesus was a brilliant Jewish stand-up comedian, a phenomenal improvisor. His parables are great one-liners.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“When feminism does not explicitly oppose racism, and when antiracism does not incorporate opposition to patriarchy, race and gender politics often end up being antagonistic to each other and both interests lose.”
—Kimberly Crenshaw (b. 1959)
