	Religious Zionism: Between Openness and Closedness
		Religious Zionism, on the other hand, is aware of the dramatic change that has transpired within Jewish life, and consequently the need for a different, deliberate reaction.

		From the movement’s perspective, the government’s willingness to carry out a policy that reverses more than thirty-five years of tangible support is the most devastating aspect of the disengagement, especially for the more religious settlers.
		Kook and his son explained the preeminence of secular Zionists in the founding of the state as the fulfillment of a spiritual mission that, for logistical reasons, religious Zionists could not initiate but were obligated to join.
		The current challenge for the Religious Zionist establishment is to place the disengagement in similar terms—that is, as a mission impossible to carry out but, in retrospect, ultimately necessary and spiritually significant.

		The "Zionists," institutionally represented by the Mafdal, are said to embrace the state as part of the messianic process leading to the eventual redemption of the Jewish people.
