This is one of the Jewish Encounters series, a collaboration between Schocken and Nextbook. Daniel Gordis (born 1959) is an American-born Israeli author and speaker. He is Senior Vice President and Koret Distinguished Fellow at Shalem College in Jerusalem, where he is also Chair of the Core Curriculum. The author of a dozen books on Judaism and Israel, and twice awarded the National Jewish Book Award (including Book of the Year for his history of Israel), he was once recognized as a leading Conservative rabbi, but is no longer publicly associated with that movement. Slightly left of center when he arrived in Israel in 1998, his writings suggest a gradual move to the right. Most people now consider him a moderate conservative. While living in Los Angeles, Gordis worked at the University of Judaism for almost fifteen years, and was the founding Dean of its Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies, the first rabbinical college on the West Coast of the United States. He and his family moved to Israel in 1998. In 2007, after nine years as vice president of the Mandel Foundation and director of its Leadership Institute, Gordis joined the Shalem Center to join the team founding Israel's first liberal arts college. Gordis has written for The New York Times, The New Republic, The New York Times Magazine, Moment, Tikkun, the Jerusalem Post, Haaretz and Conservative Judaism. He is now a regular columnist for the Jerusalem Post, for which he writes a regular column called "A Dose of Nuance," and for Bloomberg View. Reviled as a fascist demagogue by his rival Ben-Gurion, venerated by Israel's underclass, the first Israeli to win the Nobel Peace Prize, a proud Jew but not a conventionally religious one, Menachem Begin was a complex and controversial figure. A youthful admirer of the Revisionist Zionist Ze'ev Jabotinsky, he became a leader within Jabotinsky's Betar movement in Poland. Imprisoned by the Soviets in 1940, he arrived in Palestine as a soldier in the Free Polish Army in 1942. Joining the underground paramilitary Irgun in 1944, he achieved instant notoriety for the organization's devastating bombings of British military installations and other violent acts. Begin's right-leaning Herut political party became a fixture of the opposition to the Labor-dominated governments of Ben-Gurion and his successors, until the surprising victory of his political coalition in 1977 made him prime minister of Israel. Welcoming Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to Israel and co-signing a peace treaty with him on the White House lawn in 1979, Begin accomplished what his predecessors could not. His welcoming of Ethiopian Jews and Vietnamese "boat people" was universally admired, and his decision to bomb Iraq's nuclear reactor in 1981 is now regarded as an act of courageous foresight. But the disastrous invasion of Lebanon in 1982 to end the PLO's shelling of Israel's northern cities, combined with the aftereffects of a debilitating stroke and the death of his wife, led Begin to resign in 1983. At his instructions, Begin was buried not alongside Israel's prime ministers, but alongside his Irgun comrades who died in the struggle to create the Jewish national home to which he had devoted his life. Derived from a Kirkus review: A life of Menachem Begin considers his legacy. With multiple biographies of Begin published in the last 10 years, Gordis re-examines the controversial Israeli leader in order "to look at his life through the lens of the passion he still evokes" and to ask, "What was the 'magic' of his draw?" Born in Poland, Begin joined the Zionist Betar movement, founded by the charismatic Vladimir Jabotinsky. Serving in a leadership position in that organization, Begin honed his skills as a public speaker and committed himself to two basic ideas: the Jews must have their own state; independence required military strength. In 1939, Begin and his wife fled Poland for Palestine but got only as far as Vilna, Lithuania. There, Begin was arrested by the Soviets; although sentenced to 8 years in a labor camp, he was released after six months, joined the Free Polish Army and was sent as a soldier to Palestine. For the next 50 years, Begin was an outspoken, galvanizing and divisive force in Israeli politics. Gordis delineates the fierce controversies within the Zionist communities and focuses especially on the rivalry between Begin and David Ben-Gurion, a battle between Begin's "romantic preoccupation" with Jewish victimization and Ben-Gurion's pragmatic belief that Israel needed to move beyond the past. That essential difference resulted in opposing military, political and social strategies. In 1977, after losing eight consecutive elections, Begin finally achieved high office and became, as Gordis puts it, "the most Jewish of Israel's prime ministers." His first act was to give asylum to 66 Vietnamese refugees, and he insisted on welcoming Ethiopian Jews. Signing a hard-won peace treaty earned both Begin and Egypt's Anwar Sadat a Nobel Peace Prize. For Gordis, Begin stands as an exemplary leader whose selflessness and deep loyalty to the Jewish people and to Israel should inspire any who may question "the legitimacy of love for a specific people or devotion to its ancestral homeland."., Schocken Books [a division of Random House LLC], 2014, 3, Jerusalem: The Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities - Section of Humanities, 1985.
