Religious Leader Yosef Advises Global Clergy: "End Terrorism; Peace Prevails as the Ultimate Goal"
Rabbi David Yosef Calls for Peace and an End to Terrorism at International Religious Gathering
Rabbi David Yosef, the Chief Rabbi of Israel, delivered a powerful English-language address at the conclusion of the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions held in Kazakhstan. The event was a gathering of leaders from various world religions.
In his address, Rabbi Yosef emphasized peace as the central value in Judaism. He stated that according to Jewish belief, the name of the Almighty is 'Peace'. This belief was a recurring theme throughout his speech.
Rabbi Yosef also reiterated a call for an end to terrorism, emphasizing the importance of stopping terrorism without compromising innocent lives. This call came in response to a hostile remark made by one of the Muslim participants at the Congress, who violated an agreement not to discuss the war in Gaza.
The Rishon LeZion, as Rabbi Yosef is known, focused his address on Judaism's stance toward other religions. He believes that every person should remain in their own religion: Muslim, Christian, or Jewish. He further clarified that Judaism believes in one God, one God for all.
In daily Jewish practice, 'Shalom' is used to greet and part ways, indicating the importance of peace to the Jewish people and religion. Rabbi Yosef concluded his remarks by calling for justice and true peace.
Rabbi Yosef also called for world leaders and governments to hear the voice of Israel's leaders speaking of peace. He urged religious and world leaders to continue promoting the spirit of peace established at the Congress.
In a surprising turn of events, Rabbi Yosef altered his speech in response to the Muslim participant's hostile remarks, calling for an end to terrorism and violence worldwide. This strong stance was met with a call for unity and mutual respect among the diverse group of leaders present at the Congress.
The Rishon LeZion's address at the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions underscored the shared belief in one God among all religions. It also highlighted Judaism’s respect for other faiths, stating that each religion should remain as it is. Rabbi Yosef also made it clear that Jews do not have the right to persuade people of other faiths to change their religion.
Rabbi David Yosef's speech was a powerful reminder of the importance of peace and unity in a world often divided by conflict and intolerance. His call for an end to terrorism and violence resonated with the leaders present, and his emphasis on the shared belief in one God among all religions served as a unifying force. The Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions ended on a note of hope and unity, with leaders from various faiths committing to promoting peace and mutual respect in their respective communities.
