A celebrated Israeli author explores the roots of the divide
between religion and secularism in Israel today, and offers a path
to bridging the divide "A thoughtful social, political, and
philosophical examination of Judaism. . . . A cogent consideration
of the place of religion in the modern world."-Kirkus Reviews
Zionism began as a movement full of contradictions, between a pull
to the past and a desire to forge a new future. Israel has become a
place of fragmentation, between those who sanctify religious
tradition and those who wish to escape its grasp. Now a new middle
ground is emerging between religious and secular Jews who want to
engage with their heritage-without being restricted by it or losing
it completely. In this incisive book, acclaimed author Micah
Goodman explores Israeli Judaism and the conflict between religion
and secularism, one of the major causes of political polarization
throughout the world. Revisiting traditional religious sources and
seminal works of secularism, he reveals that each contains an
openness to learn from the other's messages. Goodman challenges
both orthodoxies, proposing a new approach to bridge the divide
between religion and secularism and pave a path toward healing a
society torn asunder by extremism.
