Description:
Why has antisemitism mutated into a potent form of anti-Zionism? What is the goal of a Jewish state in the twenty-first century? How can we bring unity to Israel’s diverse society? Rabbi Doron Perez offers a fresh approach to these pressing questions. Drawing on thinkers from the Vilna Gaon to Rav Kook, Rabbi Sacks to Robert Wistrich, this book weaves together an old-new spiritual approach to the Jewish state – both to understand its challenges and to lay out a vision for the future.


“Everyone to whom Israel is dear should have this book in their library.”
Rabbi Berel Wein

“Rabbi Doron Perez has authored a powerful and passionate call for civility and unity within
the Jewish community.… He makes a compelling case for the central role the State of Israel can play and, in particular, the Mizrachi movement which he heads with such distinction can – and must – play in assuring the continued flourishing of the Jewish people.… Read this book carefully and be inspired to do your share.”
Rabbi Jacob J. Schacter
University Professor of Jewish History and Jewish Thought, Yeshiva University

The success and sustainability of the Jewish People is in many ways dependent on its internal unity. Rabbi Perez has written a critical book about this very topic.… As a person who dedicates herself to sharing a love of Judaism, Israel, and of all Jews, I strongly recommend reading this book about our beloved Jewish state.”
Miriam Peretz
Recipient of Israel Prize for Lifetime Achievement

Rabbi Doron Perez has masterfully woven biblical sources with medieval commentaries and contemporary thinkers to create a magnificent tapestry of the unique Jewish state illustrating its past and future. From the teachings of Avraham Avinu through Rav Kook, he has highlighted the religious, national, and universal tenets embraced by the Jewish people, and the importance of incorporating these three principles as a cultural platform for unity.”
Rabbanit Shani Taragin
Educational Director, Mizrachi; Rosh Beit Medrash for Women, YU Israel

In a world of polarizers and propagandists, Rabbi Doron Perez is a uniter – and, most important, an educator par excellence. In this important work, [he calls] on all of us, secular and religious, to better define the Jewish and Zionist mission.”
