A "NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW" EDITORS' CHOICE
A "SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE" BESTSELLER
In AD 70, when the Second Temple was destroyed, a handful of
visionaries saved Judaism by reinventing it, taking what had been a
national religion and turning it into an idea. Whenever a Jew
studied--wherever he was--he would be in the holy city, and his
faith preserved. But in our own time, Zionists have turned the book
back into a temple, and unlike an idea, a temple can be destroyed.
With exuberance, humor, and real scholarship, Israel is Real offers
"a serious attempt by a gifted storyteller to enliven and elucidate
Jewish religious, cultural, and political history . . . A powerful
narrative" ("Los Angeles Times").
