Even average Israelis are wondering if they wouldn't be better off somewhere else and whether they ought to persevere. Daniel Gordis is confident his fellow Jews can renew their faith in the cause, and in \u003ci\u003eSaving Israel\u003c\/i\u003e, he outlines how.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAward-Winning Analysis of Israel's Most Pressing Challenges\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWinner of the 2009 National Jewish Book Award, \u003ci\u003eSaving Israel\u003c\/i\u003e addresses the most pressing issues faced by Israel—and American Jews—today, without recycling the same old arguments.
