OverviewDo Not Provoke Providence: Orthodoxy in the Grip of Nationalism deals with the whole complex of relations between the Land of Israel, the Jewish Torah, and the People of Israel from the Pre-Zionist Period until the establishment of the State of Israel. The book examines the dynamics of those relations through the modernization of Jewish society, and the problem of Jewish Identity vis-a-vis modernity. The discussion follows historical events in both philosophy and everyday life. It explores the anti-Zionist sphere and also discusses the attitudes toward the conflict of religion and nationalism in the world of Religious Zionism. The dispute between advocates of a religious concept of the community and proponents of a secular nation revolved primarily around perceptions of the ideal relationship between the religious and national entities. One group sought to make religion a tool of the nation; the other sought to make the nation a tool of religion. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Yosef Salmon , Joel A.

Language: English Table of ContentsReviewsThe religious movement within the Zionist project has been the subject of widespread research, particularly in the field of religious philosophy. This book lays a foundation for research that is primarily historical. Lately, Jewish nationalism as a historical phenomenon has faced criticism, on both the ideological and academic levels. Not only is this now a topic of academic research, it is also a subject of public debate in Israel and throughout the Jewish world. For this reason, this book should occupy a central place on the bookshelf of all who are involved with issues related to Jewish nationalism and the relationship between religion and nationalism.
