Jewish Statesmanship: Lest Israel Fall

By Paul Eidelberg

Jewish Statesmanship is the first book that systematically interfaces political science and Torah. It not only reveals the fatal flaws of Israel's political and judicial institutions, but also provides a comprehensive program for reconstructing these institutions on solid Jewish and democratic foundations. To facilitate this objective, the book contains a draft constitution, aspects of which have been adopted by various political parties in Israel. Jewish Statesmanship also examines the confusion that exists in Israel regarding such basic concepts as "democracy," "religion," "citizenship," and "Who is a Jew?" It formulates a new conception of democracy and, in the process, provides a Judaic understanding of freedom and equality.
