The Persistence of Vision brings together five authors with different perspectives on the meaning of Jewish statehood. They are united by the belief that vision has always constituted the heart of the Zionist enterprise, and that it continues to beat vigorously today. Here they reflect on the significance of 60 years of Israel, how the reality compares to the 2000-year-old dream, and the challenge of working towards fulfillment of the promise. Turn their thoughts into a dialog with your comments. This blog, an initiative of the World Zionist Organization’s Department for Zionist Activities, is intended to stimulate 6 months of heightened reflection on the meaning of Zionism, and the relationship of Jews everywhere to the Jewish state. We’re looking forward to a joyous celebration of Israel’s 60th, but one infused with substance as well.
