This is a collection of articles about some of the great Jewish
heroes of modern times. The book is a collage of role-models and
inspiring makers of Jewish history. The first chapter tells the
story of Theodor Herzl, father of modern Zionism, who died at the
age of forty-four. He accomplished so much in just a few short
years. His story is followed by an array of chapters about unique
heroes and heroines including poets and song-writers, spies and
underground fighters, soldiers and statesmen, boxers and a
basketball player, a religious Christian, an astronaut and many
others. The stories are written to shed light on Jewish history and
to inspire the reader to live in the present with pride and dignity
and to help build a better future. Some of the heroes are famous
like Chaim Nachman Bialik, Sarah Aaronsohn, Rachel the Poetess,
David Marcus and Menachem Begin. Other chapters deal with little
known heroes like Michael Halpern, Manya Shochat and Zivia Lubetkin
and then there are the unsung heroes like Michael Levin, Adam Bier,
Alex Singer and Brian Bebchick. Readers will meet courageous
fighters like Roi Klein and inspiring poets like Naomi Shemer. They
will learn about the struggle after 1967 to free Soviet Jews from
perspectives on both sides of the Iron Curtain. The book title
takes its name from a poem by the great Hebrew poetess and fighting
partisan Hannah Senesh who wrote, A voice called and I went .
Hannah answered an inner calling when she moved to Israel in 1939
and again when she volunteered to parachute into Nazi occupied
Europe to help rescue her Jewish people. She gave her life to light
a fire that continues to burn brightly today. The legacy of these
inspiring Jewish heroes is one that will remain with the reader for
an eternity.
