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.
'Jewish Statesmanship' is must reading for every Jew concerned about the future of the Jewish state. As the only comprehensive blueprint that sets forth a national political strategy for Israel, my hope is that Israel's political leaders will adopt and start implementing it. -- Prof. Israel Hanukoglu, Former Science Adviser to the Prime Minister of Israel * The Jewish Press *
A profound and necessary presentation offering vital and much-needed wisdom, 'Jewish Statesmanship' is a welcome and recommended contribution to the current debate over the nature and future of Israel. * The Bookwatch *
Unlike the many pundits who write and speak with no underlying knowledge of Israel and its problematic survival, Dr. Eidelberg brings to his analyses a wealth of genuine erudition. 'Jewish Statesmanship' remains a classic in its area. . . 'Jewish Statesmanship' is likely to remain the benchmark for this particular genre for a very long time. It should be read by all who wish to voice an opinion on Israel that is informed and persuasive. -- Louis Rene Beres, Purdue University * The Jewish Press *
