Summary

Edited and with an introduction by Alan Dershowitz, this is a collection of essays solicited by Professor Dershowitz from noted individuals -- both Jews and non-Jews -- with their thoughts in their own words on what Israel means to them. It is expected that the high profile contributors would include Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barbra Streisand, Al Gore, Henry Kissinger, Elie Wiesel, Saul Bellow, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Jerry Seinfeld, Sir Martin Gilbert, Harvey Weinstein, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Ron Silver, Barney Frank, Larry King, and like individuals. Alan Dershowitz has long been one of Israel's most ardent defenders. Now, in his new book, he sums up what Israel means to him-and offers a distinguished group of politicians, journalists, artists, and religious leaders the opportunity to share their feelings about Israel as well. From Larry King, William Bennett, Ed Koch, Rabbi Harold Kushner, and David Mamet to Barney Frank, Pat Robertson, Erica Jong, and Jonathan Kellerman, the diverse group of all-star contributors pays tribute to the Jewish state, highlighting their personal connections to Israel's history, land, people, politics, and faith.
