From the Editors:
In the Beginning
Act and Comprehend
Ofir Haivry • Both Judaism and Zionism were predicated on the idea that
human fulfillment can only come from correct action. Today's confusion is
the result of exaltation of principle over deed.
Zionism and the Myth of Motherland
Mordechai Gafni • The quest for a common spiritual language for Israeli
society requires recognizing that questioning God is not a sign of antagonism
towards religion, but the peak of Jewish spirituality.
The End of Zionism?
Yoram Hazony • The ideology that built the State of Israel has given
way to a Post-Zionism that sanctifies Jewish disempowerment.
