Portrait of Israel

SKU:78688

Product Description

Portrait of Israel is a lively, informative introduction to a young, beleaguered nation and its indomitable people. Written by Moshe Brilliant, an American born journalist who has lived in Israel for many years, it is a skillful blend of history, current affairs, and fascinating personal observations of life in Israel today, presented in an informal, anecdotal style that will appeal to armchair travelers as well as to readers actually planning trips to Israel. Illuminating the narrative are more than one hundred superb photographs, most of them taken specifically for this volume by Micha Bar-Am, a prize winning photographer. The author's text deals not only with Israel's amazing accomplishments, but with its problems as well. Friction between Orthodox Jews and those who believe in the separation of religion and government; the difficulties of absorbing Oriental Jews from primitive cultures into the European-dominated society; the role of the Israeli Arabs; and most critical of all, of course, the struggle of a small state surrounded by hostile neighbors to survive, and much much more.
