This essay presents an integrated account of M ichael W yschogrod's Z ionism as a function of his broader theological anthropology, eschatology, and carnal interpretation of I srael's election. Against L eora B atnitzky, I show that W yschogrod's Z ionism, while definitively messianic, is decidedly not fanatical or fundamentalist. Against M eir S oloveichik, I show that W yschogrod has maintained this non‐fanatical messianism consistently throughout his career, and so his pacific political prescriptions are organically at one with his vigorous calls for Jewish sovereignty over the land
