Israel Is Real

An Obsessive Quest to Understand the Jewish Nation and Its History

Rich Cohen,

About this book

The New York Times–bestselling author of Sweet and Low presents the "oft-told saga of the Jews in a fresh and engaging fashion" ( New York Times).
In AD 70, when the Second Temple was destroyed, a handful of visionaries saved Judaism by reinventing it, taking what had been a national religion and turning it into an idea. Whenever a Jew studied—wherever he was—he would be in the holy city, and his faith preserved. But in our own time, Zionists have turned the book back into a temple, and unlike an idea, a temple can be destroyed.

With exuberance, humor, and real scholarship, Rich Cohen's Israel is Real offers "a serious attempt by a gifted storyteller to enliven and elucidate Jewish religious, cultural, and political history…A powerful narrative" ( Los Angeles Times).
