A moving essay on the meaning of living in a Jewish state
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is an excellent book in which Halkin explains to an American friend his reasons for choosing to live in the Jewish state even though it involves considerable material sacrifice in comparison to the life in America. Halkin's hope for and vision of a normal Jewish society living in peace with its neighbors seems farther from realization today than when he wrote the book. But the book is still a well- written and thoughtful essay in explaining the special meaning of the Jewish state.
A classic!

Excellent! It influenced me to make aliya (immigrate) to Israel. The situation has changed somewhat in the past few decades since Halkin wrote the book but the sentiments are still true today!
