Judaism Or Jewish Nationalism: The Alternative To Zionism (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258329525)

""Judaism Or Jewish Nationalism: The Alternative To Zionism"" is a thought-provoking book written by Elmer Berger, a prominent Jewish theologian and leader of the American Council for Judaism. The book challenges the popular belief that Zionism is the only legitimate expression of Jewish identity and offers an alternative perspective rooted in the teachings of Judaism.Berger argues that Judaism is a religion, not a nationality, and that the concept of a Jewish state is incompatible with the principles of Judaism. He critiques the Zionist movement for its political agenda and its disregard for the rights of non-Jewish inhabitants of Palestine. The book also explores the historical and theological roots of Zionism and its impact on Jewish identity and the Jewish community.Berger's alternative to Zionism is based on the idea of a universal Judaism that values the dignity and equality of all human beings, regardless of their religion or ethnicity. He advocates for a Jewish identity that is rooted in ethical and spiritual values rather than political nationalism.Overall, ""Judaism Or Jewish Nationalism: The Alternative To Zionism"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about Jewish identity and the role of Zionism in contemporary Jewish life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
