Impossible Takes Longer: 75 Years after it Creation, has Israel Fulfilled its Founders’ Dreams?, by Daniel Gordis

On Israel's seventy-fifth anniversary comes a nuanced examination of the country's past, present, and future, from the two-time National Jewish Book Award–winning author of Israel.

In 1948, Israel’s founders had much more in mind than the creation of a state. They sought not meresovereignty but also a “national home for the Jewish people,” where Jewish life would be transformed. Did they succeed? The state they made, says Daniel Gordis, is a place of extraordinary success and maddening disappointment, a story of both unprecedented human triumph and great suffering.

Facilitated by Sandra Cuttler and Naomi Binenfeld
