This inspirational book features the insights of top scholars, business leaders, professionals, politicians, authors, media personalities, scientists, artists, and community and religious leaders covering the entire denominational spectrum of Jewish life in America today. Presenting a diversity of views, it will encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to think about what Israel means to them and, in particular, help young adults jump start their own lasting, personal relationship with Israel.
