Auerbach explores one of the oldest and most vilified Jewish communities in the world. Spanning three thousand years, from the biblical narrative of Abraham's purchase of a burial cave for Sarah to the violent present, it offers a controversial analysis of a community located at the crossroads of the Israeli-Palestinian struggle over national boundaries and the internal Israeli struggle over the meaning of Jewish statehood. Hebron Jews sharply challenges conventional Zionist historiography and current media understanding by presenting a community of memory deeply embedded in Zionist history and Jewish tradition. Auerbach shows how the blending of religion and nationalism_Orthodoxy and Zionism_embodied in Hebron Jews is at the core of the struggle within Israel to define the meaning of a Jewish state.JewsWest BankHebronHistoryIsraelisWest BankHebronHistoryLand settlementMoral and ethical aspectsWest BankHebronElectronic books.JewsHistory.IsraelisHistory.Land settlementMoral and ethical aspects956.95/1Auerbach Jerold S234938MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454577303321Hebron Jews2071619UNINA
