Rabbi Dr. Isaiah Aviad (Wolfsberg) (1893-1957) was one of the leading thinkers of religious Zionism. This lecture will explore his perspective on the Holocaust and its implications for Jewish thought. Within Jewish theology, three primary approaches have traditionally addressed the problem of evil in the world: the classical-causal approach, the teleological approach, and the indifferent approach. The classical-causal approach interprets suffering as the result of a cause-and-effect process: the Israelites failed to meet God's expectations and were consequently punished. The teleological approach, by contrast, views present suffering not as a consequence of past sins but as having a future-oriented purpose. The indifferent approach, however, assigns no religious significance to human suffering, viewing it instead as a byproduct of human carelessness or apathy. Rabbi Aviad navigates among these three frameworks in his treatment of the Holocaust, incorporating an additional element—the Hegelian dialectic. Ultimately, he concludes that the establishment of the State of Israel represents both the redemption and the teleological significance of Jewish suffering, including the tragedy of the Holocaust. This lecture will analyze Aviad's synthesis and its implications for religious Zionist thought.
