Reclaiming responsibility for Judaism!<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Nearly eighty years have passed since David Ben-Gurion handed over the management of Jewish life in the State of Israel to a minority that turned itself into a monopoly.<\/p>

After nearly 2,000 years of exile, the Jewish people returned to their land and focused on building an Israeli identity. As a result of this success, a true revolution is unfolding before our eyes: Israelis from all walks of life are rising up and seeking to shape the face of Judaism. This is the next chapter in the Israeli story.\nOur generation faces a historic mission: to build an Israeli Judaism that draws strength from its roots, lives in the present, and prepares for the future. The 20th century was the Israeli century. The 21st century is the Jewish century.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \u201cTerry Newman\u2019s book, The Jewish Century, offers a sharp and thought-provoking perspective on the role of Jewish identity in the modern era. The writing is clear, profound, and highly relevant, combining history, ideas, and identity in a way that is both accessible and intellectually engaging. This is a book that succeeds not only in enriching knowledge, but also in inspiring reflection on the place of the Jewish people in a changing world.\u201d<\/blockquote><\/div><\/div>

    \u201cTerry Newman, a significant voice in the movement of Israeli Judaism, offers in his book a new and updated language for discussing the Jewish identity crisis facing both the State of Israel and the broader Israeli public. It is a language that was missing in the formative generations of the state and the high-tech era alike \u2014 and whose absence contributed to division and violence. Only when we truly understand ourselves can we continue building this land as the homeland of a free, moral, and peace-seeking people.\u201d<\/blockquote><\/div><\/div>
