Azure - Ideas for the Jewish Nation No. 6/Winter/1999: The Jewish State: The Next Fifty Years (A Chronicle of Philosophy, Social Thought and Cultural Criticism)
Description:Azure, Israel's leading journal of public thought, is a chronicle of philosophy, social thought and cultural criticism, which provides a forum for scholarship and opinion on issues of concern to the Jewish public in Israel and abroad. In this special issue, THE JEWISH THE NEXT FIFTY YEARS Jewish intellectuals and public figures have increasingly questioned the continued desirability of maintaining Israel as a Jewish state, proposing instead that Israel be reconceived as a "state of its citizens" in which the Law of Return granting automatic citizenship to diaspora Jews would be rescinded, and the national anthem "Hatikva" would be rewritten so that the words "Jewish soul" no longer need be sung at public events. Far from being a matter of symbols and semantics, proposals such as these seem to reflect a struggle to redefine the essential meaning and purpose of the state. It now seems that the most important task is to secure the cultural, philosophical and moral basis for the country, by asking those questions which have for so long been Does the Jewish people really have a right to be master of its own fate in its own sovereign state? If so, in what ways should this be expressed, and what sort of state should Israel be? What should be the nature of its institutions? These and many more questions are responded to in this special issue marking the 50th anniversary of the State of Israel, which includes reflections on the Jewish state's next 50 years by prominent thinkers such as Cynthia Ozick, Rabbi Norman Lamm, Natan Sharansky, Jeane Kirkpatrick and many, many more.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
