No Retreat

How to Secure Israel for Generations to Come

By: Amir Avivi

Foreword by Avigdor Kahalani This book was written out of boundless love for our country, the State of Israel, and shines a spotlight on life in the Land of Israel. There isn’t a single person among us with his head screwed on who isn’t concerned for the future of our existence here. The developments in the region around us keep us awake at night. Our state depends on those citizens who bear the burden, but even those who do not carry the proverbial stretcher on their shoulders have to find a place underneath it. Every citizen of Israel and the diaspora must play a role in keeping the country safe, respecting our differences and each other’s values. Amir Avivi is part of Israel’s beautiful vista and I consider him a symbol of love for our homeland. He has taken on an extremely difficult task: to lead a movement that voices concern for our country’s future and, at the same time, work to deepen citizens’ confidence and faith in our abilities and power. Only someone with such deep roots, and so full of love, can express such concerns about the future while articulating a sweeping, meaningful vision. This book guides us with tremendous skill through scenarios that might seem farfetched and at times downright fantastical. But this reality check is supremely important, because these possible future scenarios—scenarios that are scarcely imaginable—pose a concrete threat to our existence here in Israel. The vision that this book articulates is based on a clear-eyed view of the reality unfolding in front of our eyes in the Middle East. Let’s open our eyes together, start reading, get into the weeds, and prepare for our common future here—lest we become yet another nation that failed to safeguard its land and historical heritage. The State of Israel has been blessed with sons and daughters who have proudly passed on the Zionist torch from generation to generation. It’s our job to make sure that legacy keeps getting handed down.

Gershom Scholem

An Intellectual Biography

By: Amir Engel

Gershom Scholem (1897–1982) was ostensibly a scholar of Jewish mysticism, yet he occupies a powerful role in today’s intellectual imagination, having influential contact with an extraordinary cast of thinkers, including Hans Jonas, Martin Buber, Walter Benjamin, Hannah Arendt, and Theodor Adorno. In this first biography of Scholem, Amir Engel shows how Scholem grew from a scholar of an esoteric discipline to a thinker wrestling with problems that reach to the very foundations of the modern human experience. As Engel shows, in his search for the truth of Jewish mysticism Scholem molded the vast literature of Jewish mystical lore into a rich assortment of stories that unveiled new truths about the modern condition. Positioning Scholem’s work and life within early twentieth-century Germany, Palestine, and later the state of Israel, Engel intertwines Scholem’s biography with his historiographical work, which stretches back to the Spanish expulsion of Jews in 1492, through the lives of Rabbi Isaac Luria and Sabbatai Zevi, and up to Hasidism and the dawn of the Zionist movement. Through parallel narratives, Engel touches on a wide array of important topics including immigration, exile, Zionism, World War One, and the creation of the state of Israel, ultimately telling the story of the realizations—and failures—of a dream for a modern Jewish existence.
