Over the course of this long history, Jews have moved from a life of Diaspora, which ultimately led to destruction, to a prosperous existence in a thriving, independent nation state. The new power of Jewish sovereignty has echoed around the world and gives Israelis a new and significant role as influential global players. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the Israeli Century, the Jew is reborn, feeling a deep responsibility for his tradition and a natural connection to his homeland. A sense of having a home to return to allows him to travel the wider world and act with ease and confidence. In the Israeli Century, the Israeli Jew can fully express the strengths developed over many generations in the long period of wandering and exile. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As a result, Shain argues, the burden of preserving the continuity of the Jewish people and defining its character is no longer the responsibility of Diaspora communities. Instead it now falls squarely on the shoulders of Israelis themselves. The challenges of Israeli sovereignty in turn require farsighted leaders with a clear-eyed understanding of the dangers that confront the Jewish future, as well as the incredible opportunities it offers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yossi Shain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1642938459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781642938456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wicked Son\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.13h x 5.98w x 1.57d","brand":"Yossi Shain","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44044689735935,"sku":"9781642938456","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_527ee012-5398-4c09-abd1-200680f84378.jpg?v=1684974311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-israeli-century-yossi-shain-9781642938456","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
