As the author shows rather convincingly, Zionism and the State of Israel needed the Jewish tradition to supply meaning to their political-theological project. This is a fascinating argument that expands our critical understanding of the ideological foundations of the Jewish national movement."" - Eran Kaplan, author of Beyond Post-Zionism" This book makes an important contribution to the study of Zionist ideology and the relationship between state and religion in Israel.
