One of the most dramatic changes in Jewish history, in our collective consciousness and in our self identity since the days of Bar Kochba is that fact that in the reality of a Jewish state, a significant portion of the population is willing once again to bear weapons in an organized fashion, to make use of military power and to take part in war.

 

Dr. Eli Holzer, a lecturer in the School of Education at Bar-University and a research fellow at the Mandel Institute for Jewish Education at Brandeis University in Boston, Massachusetts, explores this phenomenon in his new book, "A Double-Edged Sword: Military Activism in the Thought of Religious Zionism," published as part of the Shalom Hartman Institute’s Israel and Judaism series.

 

The book can be ordered for NIS 70, a discount off the cover price of NIS 94, directly from the Shalom Hartman Institute website. Click here to order. Note: You must scroll down from the top of the order page to find the book. It is the first entry in the Israel and Judaism series.
