- Summary
- "Born into an American Jewish family committed to the Labor Zionist ideology aliya (immigration to Israel) was a natural choice for the author of this memoir. Making that choice was not too difficult; staying the course was much harder. The sense of loss was sometimes overwhelming. Loss of family, culture and language all played a part in the life of an immigrant in the new State; then the realization that the State had lost its founding ideological basis. Serving twice as a representative of Israel for the purposes of promoting and processing aliya, made that loss much more poignant. By the time the author was in the country for several decades disillusionment had set in. What happened to the country that inspired a nation?"--Back cover.
