Published on the country's seventy-fifth anniversary comes a nuanced and thoughtful examination of Israel's past present and future from the two-time National Jewish Book Award?winning author of Israel In 1948 Israel's founders had in mind much more than creating a state. They sought not mere sovereignty but also the creation of a ?national home for the Jewish people ? where Jewish life would be transformed and where a ?new Jew? would take root. Did they succeed? The state they created says Daniel Gordis is ?the most hated nation in the world but also the most beloved ? a place of extraordinary success and maddening disappointment a story of both unprecedented human triumph and great suffering. Now as the country marks its seventy-fifth anniversary Gordis asks: Has Israel fulfilled the dreams of its founders? Using the country's Declaration of Independence as his measure he provides a thorough balanced perspective on the ways in which the Israel of today exceeds the country's original aspirations and also how it has fallen short. In a deft and multifaceted assessment he discusses the often-overlooked reasons for Israel's creation the flourishing of Jewish and Israeli culture Israel's economy and its transformative tech sector the Israeli-Palestinian conflict the distinctly Israeli form of Judaism that has emerged in the Jewish state Israel's complex relationship with the Diaspora and much more. Gordis offers new angles of thinking about Israel that bring moderation and clarity to the prevailing discourse. And through weighing Israel's successes critiquing its failures and acknowledging its inherent contradictions he ultimately suggests that?in ways its founders could not have foreseen?the Jewish state is a success far beyond anything they could have imagined.
