Israel education has been taking on an increasing high profile in
the Jewish community. But is it effective? Can old messages speak
to a new generation? Or is a new approach called for?
LOVING THE REAL ISRAEL draws from the writings of Jewish
philosophers, educational theorists, and Bible scholars to offer
principles for a new liberal Zionist engagement. LOVING THE REAL
ISRAEL provides guidance for educators in constructing meaningful
Israel educational experiences, as well as for liberal Zionists who
want to discuss Israel issues with their friends, family, and
community.

Advance Praise
Alex Sinclair brilliantly and critically addresses ones of the
central challenges facing the Jewish people today: the relationship
between Israel and world Jewry. In arguing for a new Israel
engagement agenda founded on the amalgamation of the principles of
passion, caring and anger, Alex challenges us to redefine the
foundations of the relationship and sets the ground for a possible
future free from paternalism, passivity and alienation.
- Rabbi Donniel Hartman, president, Shalom Hartman Institute and
director of its iEngage Project
An intelligent guide to teaching and communicating to Jewish
audiences about Israel in a manner that is loving but frank. An
important addition to the discourse on Israel education. I
recommend it highly.
- Dr. Donald A. Sylvan, former president of Jewish Education
Service of North America
Sinclair proposes a bold new agenda for Israel/Zionism education
in the Diaspora, an educational vision that calls for a substantive
shift in how many Israel educators think and teach. His ideas are
well developed and carefully researched, though not without
controversy. I encourage all those who care about Israel to read
this book.
- Dr. Marc N. Kramer, executive director, RAVSAK: The Jewish
Community Day School Network
A thought-provoking and timely book.
- Tom Dine, former executive director of the American Israel
Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)
