Sample Book Insights:
#1 Modern Israel has built a fully realized political system, economy, society, and culture. It is a normal country, though a unique one with many distinctive features. It grew from one of the world’s oldest societies and cultures, but its ancient heritage did not make the process of nation-building any easier.
#2 The idea that Jews are only a religious group is a concept that began with the French Revolution, but did not become influential in Western Europe until the mid- nineteenth century. It never fully took hold in the Eastern European or Middle Eastern Jewish communities.
#3 The creation of Israel was not an accident, but the continuation of a long historical process. The majority of European Jews did not view their identity in only negative terms, but saw themselves as being inside their own cohesive community.
#4 The Jewish state is primarily a declaration of a national identity, but it is also a declaration of religious identity. The majority of the Yishuv leaders and later leaders of Israel were secular, and they simultaneously recognized the importance of religion in binding together Jews.
