Religious Zionism Religious Zionism, or the Religious Zionist Movement (a branch of which is also called Mizrachi) is an ideology that combines Zionism and religious Judaism, basing Zionism on the principles of Torah, Talmud et al. and authentic heritage. It is often combined with Modern Orthodox Judaism, although they are not synonymous, as the Hardal branch of Religious Zionism rejects that philosophy, and thus falls somewhere in between Haredi and Modern Orthodox.
