Daniel Gordis on Impossible Takes Longer

As Israel marks its 75th anniversary, Gordis asks: Has Israel fulfilled the dreams of its founders? Using the country’s Declaration of Independence as his measure, he provides a thorough, balanced perspective on the ways in which the Israel of today exceeds the country’s original aspirations and also how it has fallen short. In a deft and multifaceted assessment, he discusses the often-overlooked reasons for Israel’s creation, the flourishing of Jewish and Israeli culture, Israel’s economy and its transformative tech sector, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the distinctly Israeli form of Judaism that has emerged in the Jewish state, Israel’s complex relationship with the Diaspora, and much more.
