For the Love of Israel and the Jewish People

Essays and Studies on Israel, Jews and Judaism
By Nathan Lopes Cardozo
(327 Pages)Publisher: Urim Publications, 2008

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.
