Description Bisk and Dror present an examination of where the Jewish People are at the beginning of the 21st century and what the future may hold for them. The authors provide a comprehensive critique and a vision of the future that is both challenging and positive.

Publisher Description

Bisk and Dror assert that the 21st Century has the potential to be the Jewish Century and that no other people is better prepared to face its challenges. However, to do so, a stress on the Jewish Future must replace a preoccupation with the Jewish Past. They offer a neo-Zionist ideological analysis of modern Jewish life as an alternative to both classical Zionism and post-Zionism. They conceptualize a Jewish Grand Strategy by clearly defining and delineating between ideology, policy, grand strategy, strategy and tactics, with compelling proposals for what such a revised Grand Strategy might entail. They suggest a concept of reinvigorated Israel-Diaspora relations based on this new Grand Strategy and the potential of the Information Technology Revolution. They also offer a conception of Jewish spirituality that could be as appealing to secular as to religious Jews. They reject the concept of a "Nation that Dwells Alone". Throughout the ages, Jews have affected and been affected by the world more than any other people, they assert.They also reject the view that suffering is the dominant feature of Jewish history, as this lachrymose perception cannot inspire needed Jewish ambitions in the young. They stress the needs of the individual Jewish person and insist that there can be no real significance to the continued existence of the Jewish People unless the real life, concrete needs of the individual are addressed.
