A powerful and eloquent statement on the meaning of Israel in our time. Originally published in 1967, it is now updated with an important introduction by Professor Susannah Heschel, his daughter.
Heschel here addresses the Jewish people's fidelity to Jerusalem. LJ's reviewer stated that "although brief [the book] is studded with scholarship; [Heschel's] rapture with the Holy City and its importance to the Jews is apparent on every page" (LJ 2/1/69).
