Reform Zionism: Twenty Years: An Educator's Perspective

by Michael Livni (Langer).Visit Michael Livni's website www.michael-livni.org

Among the controversial questions on which Livni takes a stand are: Can the Progressive Jewish (Reform) movement in Israel be based on the Diaspora model? How can we establish a democratic basis for Israel Diaspora relations? How do we differentiate between Zionism and pro-Israelism--especially in our educational endeavor? Michael Livni is a Zionist educator. He sees Reform Zionism as an educational movement--for youth and adults alike. Livni is not just a theoretician--his personal involvement over a period of twenty years imparts a unique cogency to his message.

Editorial Review

Rabbi Eric. H. Yoffie, President UAHC
This collection of essays and articles provides a rare insight into classical Zionist thought as it dialectically intersects and synthesizes with its onetime adversary, Reform Judaism. The reader has a rare opportunity to be challenged and enlightened by meeting a gifted and seminal thinker and an effective doer.
