Back to topEnd of Days Ethics, Tradition, and Power in Israel (New Perspectives in Post-Rabbinic Judaism) (Hardcover)
Description
End of Days is both a meditation on Jewish morality in the age of Israeli Jewish power, and a cri du coeur by an Orthodox Israeli Jew, a former
combat officer in the IDF, for Israelis to look into the Jewish religious ethical tradition for an alternative to the secular and religious Zionism
that sanctifies power, statehood, and sovereignty. Appealing to a wealth of Jewish sources from the Bible to the present, including
medieval Jewish ethical literature, rabbinic sources, Jewish law, and contemporary Israeli thought, the book presents an argument against
Israel's occupation of the Palestinians and the suppression of their rights from the perspective of a modern Israeli religious Jew.
