Requirements: .ePUB reader, 0.5 Mb
Overview: Dr. Elana Maryles Sztokman was raised and socialized into religious Zionism, and moved to Israel as a young mother where she devoted herself to Orthodox Judaism, education, and fighting for Israel. Until she landed in a pro-Israeli advocacy job and discovered some dark underpinnings of the ideology that she had dedicated her life to. And then everything started to unravel.
After years of seeking out the truth about the world in which she lives, Dr. Sztokman made some drastic changes in her life, becoming active in advancing shared society, peace, and a different vision for the entire region.
In this volume, Dr. Sztokman uses her professional of an rhetorical analysis cultivated from years of anthropological research, and unpacks the language and ideas that drive the pro-Israel advocacy movement and are used to justify cruel actions and attitudes. In the process, she makes some drastic personal changes, shifts her own Jewish identity, and advocates for a different vision of what it means to live in a Jewish state.
