Bisk and Dror assert that the 21st Century can be the Jewish
Century, that no other people is better prepared to face its
challenges. However, to do so, a stress on the Jewish Future must
replace a preoccupation with the Jewish Past. They offer a
neo-Zionist ideological analysis of modern Jewish life as an
alternative to both classical Zionism and post-Zionism. They
conceptualize a Jewish Grand Strategy by clearly defining and
delineating between ideology, policy, grand strategy, strategy and
tactics, with compelling proposals for what such a revised Grand
Straegy might entail. They suggest a concept of reinvigorated
Israel-Diaspora relations based on this new Grand Strategy and the
potential of the Information Technology Revolution. They also offer
a conception of Jewish spirituality that could be as appealing to
secular as to religious Jews. They reject the concept of a "Nation
that Dwells Alone." Throughout the ages, Jews have affected and
been affected by the world more than any other People they assert.
They also reject the view that suffering is the dominant feature of
Jewish history as this lachrymose perception cannot inspire needed
Jewish ambitions in the young. They stress the needs of the Jewish
person and insist that there can be no real significance to the
continued existence of the Jewish People unless the real life,
concrete needs of the individual are addressed. As former Israeli
Ambassador to the United Nations and former Cabinent Minister Gad
Yaacobi asserts in his foreword, "The book is original,
iconoclastic and in some ways revolutionary....It challenges
inherited assumptions and calls for positive action. I believe we
have before us a book that must become areference point for Jewish
policy makers as quickly as possible."
