The Battle for Israel’s Soul image
Synopsis:

Israel stands strong in a hostile region, bolstered by military prowess and global business innovation. Yet, it is more divided than ever. The old guard of socialist elites and idealists is fading, while the country’s democratic foundations face unprecedented challenges. The New York Times Jerusalem correspondent Isabel Kershner, in conversation with journalist Jenni Frazer, presents a wide-ranging portrait of the Israeli people at a pivotal moment in their history. In The Land of Hope and Fear, she introduces us to a diverse array of voices—Jews and Arabs, religious and secular, liberals and zealots—grappling with perennial conflict and existential threats.
