On Zion

Más información sobre el libro

"Martin Buber wrote and lectured on Zion and Zionism throughout his life. On Zion is a mature work, based on a series of lectures given in Jerusalem in 1944." "To Buber, Zionism meant a reorientation of the entire being, a catharsis; then a readiness to build a new and creative homeland - Israel." "These essays demonstrate the depth of Buber's faith in Zionism. He shows how biblical and talmudic thought is central to Zionism, how Zionism inspired medieval thinkers and mystics and how it has transformed the thinking of Jews today."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
