A beautifully written， nuanced， and informative consideration of an incredibly complex topic。 I'm neither a scholar nor a causal expert on the recent history of Israel， and so I especially appreciated the author's clarity and vision for the scope of this project。 There is no way to consider this question without it being somehow controversial， and yet the author's tone and perspective prompted curiosity and interest rather than discord。 I am very glad to have had the chance to spend time with th A beautifully written， nuanced， and informative consideration of an incredibly complex topic。 I'm neither a scholar nor a causal expert on the recent history of Israel， and so I especially appreciated the author's clarity and vision for the scope of this project。 There is no way to consider this question without it being somehow controversial， and yet the author's tone and perspective prompted curiosity and interest rather than discord。 I am very glad to have had the chance to spend time with this book。Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a copy of this book。 。。。more

This is a great retrospective as well as reflection on Israel’s seventy five years through the lens of its founding document。 While I do not always agree with Rabbi Gordis his writing is clear， thought-provoking and a challenge to all who love Israel and dream of her fulfilling her founding vision。 Some will disagree with Gordis’ analysis from the get-go but I really appreciate is presentation and analysis。 May Israel reach the vision of her founders while the author so beautifully lays out， wit This is a great retrospective as well as reflection on Israel’s seventy five years through the lens of its founding document。 While I do not always agree with Rabbi Gordis his writing is clear， thought-provoking and a challenge to all who love Israel and dream of her fulfilling her founding vision。 Some will disagree with Gordis’ analysis from the get-go but I really appreciate is presentation and analysis。 May Israel reach the vision of her founders while the author so beautifully lays out， with its challenges as well。 。。。more
