Jacques Aron's 'L'An Passé À Jérusalem' reflects on Jewish identity, history, and diaspora through the lens of a Belgian Jewish intellectual born in 1933. The book explores the historical and cultural factors shaping Jewish existence from the late 18th century to the early 20th century, alongside personal reflections on the Holocaust and the founding of the State of Israel. Aron investigates the symbolic and existential weight of being Jewish and how it influences individual and collective identity. The work is aimed at readers interested in Jewish history, identity, and the philosophical inquiries surrounding them. |
