Reviews

"An able historian, Ohana...makes a well-researched case for both why Israel needs a new identity and how his proposal might work. At the intellectual level, this is first-rate." - Choice

"David Ohana offers an insightful and original look at Israeli society, its past, present, and future. Ohana is more than a historian and the book provides a new and inspiring way of looking at Israel and its cultural options, one that is very much worth reading." - Yaakov Ariel, professor of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
