“Professor Passig has written a thought-provoking, intriguing, and disconcerting book, which carries readers away on a fascinating and emotionally turbulent voyage through Jewish history. The journey through the past and the future in this book compels us to take steps to prevent us from repeating our leaders’ historical mistakes, to safeguard our future. This is an essential read for anyone who cares about the State of Israel and the Jewish people, especially anyone involved in shaping them.”Isaac HerzogIsraeli President“This informative and fascinating tour de force first looks back to Jewish history in order to project a more desirable Jewish future. […] Continuing his important work of Jewish prognostication, Passig has created another page-turner. This time, the futurist first takes us back in time before pushing us forward. […] The book is a treat for both laymen and those more acquainted with Jewish history. Along the way, the reader will learn a great deal about future studies, psychology, and “counterfactual” retellings of history by utilizing “process-based historical” thinking. These methods help us find “pieces of the puzzle that were previously hidden … with a view to enabling us to break the vicious cycles … and conceive of a better future as a promising anchor.” [Passig’s] masterful analysis provides space to explore a Jewish historical narrative in broader and more useful terms that will dominate the topic of many discussions in years to come.”Dr Murray MizrachiProfessor, Murray Koppelman School of Business, CUNY; Jewish Journal
