Roseanne will be studying in Israel when spinoff airs without her

Roseanne Barr is going all the way to Israel to avoid “The Conners.”

The comic will be in the Holy Land studying when the Roseanne-less spin-off airs in October — and she won’t be watching, she said.

“I’m staying away from it,” Barr, 65, said on the “Rabbi Shmuley Boteach Podcast,” which aired Sunday.

“Not wishing bad on anyone, and I don’t wish good for my enemies. I don’t. I can’t. I just stay neutral. That’s what I gotta do,” she added.

So Barr is heading over 5,000 miles to Israel for a few months to “study with [her] favorite teachers over there,” she said — adding she’ll probably end up moving “somewhere there.”

“I have saved a few pennies and I’m so lucky I can go,” she said, adding, “It’s my great joy and privilege to be a Jewish woman.”

Barr also bemoaned the treatment she’s received since ABC canceled the “Roseanne” reboot this summer over a racist tweet in which the comedienne compared former Barack Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, who is black, to an “ape.”

“My friends called and said, ‘This is unprecedented, nothing like this has ever happened before.’ And I said, ‘Yeah I know, it’s never happened before,’” she said.

She whined that her slew of apologies — in which she said she was misunderstood, under the influence of Ambien or didn’t know Jarrett was black — wasn’t accepted.

“People were so angry, and I have to say a little bit ill-informed about me, that they would put me in the same box where they have people who call for the death of all Jews and want to enslave all black people,” she said. “Real racists that actually exist. They put me in a box with them. And how do they think that’s gonna affect me. They don’t think. They’re under mind control.”
