Reseña del libro "The Challenges of Sovereignty: Essays on Israel and Zionism (en Inglés)"

Key essays by a notable scholar address some of the most pressing questions facing Israel today.Over the course of his rich career, David Ellenson--one of the most outstanding Jewish scholars, intellectuals, and thinkers of our time--probed the tension between tradition and modernity, especially as reflected in the ceaseless reinterpretation of liturgical and halakhic texts. Alongside that scholarly interest, largely centered on European Jewry, Ellenson produced an impressive body of work on Zionism and Israel.This volume follows the arc of this body of work from Ellenson's early articles on the Zionism of American rabbis to his last essay on the struggle between Jewish and democratic impulses in Israeli society. He draws on familiar sources of inquiry--Jewish prayers and legal sources--to chart changes in Israeli religious life and to excavate its theological-political foundation. What emerges is a profound meditation on some of the most important questions that Israel faces today: what does it mean to be Jewish in the state? What role should Halakhah play in a self-defined Jewish state? How should the state treat its non-Jewish minority? How deeply rooted is democracy in the state and its foundational texts? And can the state ever escape seemingly irrepressible internal and external conflict?
