About this title

Synopsis

The purpose of this book is to stimulate imagination and activate energy and idealism in a Jewish contextto inspire the development of a 21st century Jewish paradigm as compelling as the 20th century Jewish paradigm that created the State of Israel and the extraordinary institutional structure of Diaspora Jewry. The 20th century model of Jewish life is no longer attractive or compelling for a growing number of young Jews (in Israel as well as in the Diaspora). The core theme of the book is that the global reality of the 21st century provides Israel and the Diaspora with the means to enable the self-actualization of the Jewish individual. The book suggests concrete ways and means by which the Jews might reinvent themselves and build a future that is noble and good, secure and flourishing, meaningful and worthwhile.
