The Optimistic Jew: A Positive Vision For the Jewish People in the 21st Century
This interesting book is divided into two parts. Part 1, called "Where We Are and Where We Should Be Going," is an analysis of contemporary Judaism. Part 2, "Realization: Looking Back from 2020," demonstrates how the Jewish people and Israel will have confronted their challenges and achieved the aims outlined in part 1. Bisk posits that Jewish life in the twenty-first century must mobilize and direct the energies of the Jewish people into creative activity; transform Israel into a society with the highest possible scientific, cultural, and social standards; and turn Israel into an economic superpower with one of the highest per capita standards of living in the world. Bisk believes that this century offers a promising future for the Jewish people. Cohen, George
