Temple Sinai’s People of the Book
"Israel: A Simple Guide to the World’s Most Misunderstood Country on Earth"
Our book this month is "Israel: A Simple Guide to the World’s Most Misunderstood Country on Earth" by Noa Tishby. In 2005, the Knesset votes on the Gaza disengagement plan. It was supposed to improve Israel’s security and reduce terrorism but instead ended up as a disaster. Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007, which led to October 7th. Clearly, Tishby is devoted to Israel. The book is more or less divided into three sections - a historical survey of the Jewish homeland and Zionism, an account of the founding and growth of modern Israel, and a section looking towards the future of current prospects and challenges. All in all, Tishby presents a straightforward, yet opinionated, look at modern Israel. We will meet in the Tree of Life room.
