In this book, "Jews, Israelis and Arabs", Shalom Pollack describes
the experience of immigration and acclimatization of a
Brooklyn-born Jew in the State of Israel, and comments on current
events in Israeli society.
The importance of the book is not only in the writer's personal
experience, but in the insights he shares.
Understanding the intersection of identities in which Israel's
society stands - the struggle between the Israeli and the Jew - we
are provided with a glimpse of events to understand what is
happening in Israel. For a Jew planning to immigrate to Israel
(Aliyah), this book is especially important and will help to
eliminate much of the confusion and doubts.
To this day, the contradiction between the aspiration of Israeli
normalcy and the desire to fulfill the Jewish mission has been
resolved through compromise. The most famous of the attempts is the
Gavison-Medan Covenant, which sought the golden pathway, which
would allow Israelis and Jews to continue to travel together on
their shared journey.
It is not compromise, but synergies that we need. We need the
formula for connecting the opposites, and we are making progress
towards reaching this goal.
When the Israeli and the Jew will no longer fear each other, but
instead, contribute to the special qualities of the other, a great
opportunity will emerge from Zion and our country will be a miracle
for the nations.
