The Land of Israel and the
Jewish people are bound together in mysterious ways that go beyond
convention. Here is a nation that has "too much history and too
little geography," as Sir Isaiah Berlin said. Yet even in their
exile, the Jews never truly left the land of their birth. Rather,
they lifted it from its native soil and transformed it into a
portable homeland, taking it with them to all corners of the earth.
Only in 1948 after nearly two thousand years did the Jewish people
return to its original home. How is it that contrary to all the
laws of history, the Jewish people outlived so many powerful
empires? How was this tiny nation able to make an unprecedented
contribution to the wellbeing of all of humankind? Why did the
Jewish people become a source of endless irritation to those who
opposed its ethical teachings? Finally, how can the State of Israel
rediscover its Jewish identity as the source of its greatest
blessing and hope? Nathan Lopes Cardozo addresses these and other
questions throughout this remarkable collection of
essays.
