Why do so many Israelis express messages of hope and not despair? Waiting for Peace is a journey of intimate discovery of life in a society coping with terrorism. Meet a fascinating group of Jewish Israelis: the political left and the right, the religious and the secular, a bus driver, an intelligence analyst, students, a high school principal, the wounded, doctors, social workers, a captain in an elite army unit, and a new recruit. Their stories illuminate a brutal reality and the profound strength of the human spirit. Revealing interviews describe relationships with Palestinians before and during the intifada.

The television broadcasts are by now familiar. A blown out Israeli bus. Survivors sitting by the roadside. Israeli tanks rolling into dusty Arab villages. The words “cycle of violence,” “terror,” and “retaliation.” Stay alert. Maybe next time it will be you. How does it feel to fear that at any time a next bomb could explode alongside you? What is it like to go to school on a bus, hoping it will remain intact for the journey? State of Siege is a unique, thought-provoking, and artistic critique of the situation in Israel today, conceived and created by the young Israeli artist, Doron Goldenberg, a graduate of the Bezalel Art Academy in Jerusalem. Through the use of powerful words and images, Goldenberg captures the psychological impact of living with terror that can’t be broadcast on television.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Doron Goldenberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54336266830134,"sku":null,"price":23.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2092\/2422\/files\/i35191.77583.jpg?v=1785305928"},{"product_id":"living-beyond-terrorism","title":"Living Beyond Terrorism","description":"\u003cp\u003eNo one can forget the devastating aftermath of a suicide bomber detonating in a crowded bus. But what happens to the survivors of such indiscriminate and horrific attacks? Will the physical and emotional scars overwhelm them, or will they be able to transcend the traumatic experience and lead healthy and fulfilling lives? Many of those who survive are able to grow and thrive, as described in Living Beyond Terrorism. This book shares compelling stories of hope and healing, as told by ordinary people who – while riding in buses, dining in restaurants, shopping in markets, studying at colleges, visiting hotels, or walking along the street – suddenly became the innocent victims of indiscriminate terrorist attacks in Israel and in the West Bank, primarily between 2000 and 2006. Forty-eight survivors and relatives of survivors and victims discuss their remarkable life journeys – from terrorism to hope and optimism and from grief to meaning and healing; they speak not just of moving on with life as usual, but of moving forward with new purpose, contributing to society, and turning tragedy into action. They bear witness to their experiences in order to make sense of them as best as they can, and to help others. The powerful stories in Living Beyond Terrorism are testimony to their inner strength and determination and inspire each of us as we meet the challenges in our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zieva Konvisser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54336655098166,"sku":"9789652296436","price":22.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2092\/2422\/files\/i109340.68967.jpg?v=1785310390"},{"product_id":"the-winds-promise","title":"The Wind's Promise","description":"\u003cp\u003eI’m a daughter to amazing parents. I always knew that there was good reason to be jealous of me. Yes, without feeling apologetic or arrogant, but with the simple understanding that not everyone is privileged to have parents like these, and yes – I have reason to be grateful to them and to Hashem. Hundreds of moments of gratitude gravitate togeth¬er into a large, vibrant picture that is strikingly inconsistent with the words terrorist attack, death, and murder, which left my mouth into the telephone just a few moments ago. BATSHEVA SADAN was a young expectant mother in 2003 when she was forced to receive the worst possible news: her American-born parents had been cut down in the prime of life by a terrorist as they enjoyed a peaceful Sabbath meal in their home in Kiryat Arba. This lyrical memoir describes the journey of grief, but more than that, it is a tribute to the people Eli and Dina Horowitz were in life. From their beginnings as dynamic and seeking youths to their choice to move from the United States to Israel to live in their homeland, from their meeting and deep lifelong love story to their struggles with infertility and endless love for their children, from their devoted learning of their spiritual tradition to their teaching and principled quest for peace, Sadan takes us through her parents’ lives, imparting who they were and the promise they left behind in their many students, children, and grandchildren. May their memory be for a blessing. “They represented the best of our role models in returning and building our homeland.

The ensuing war led to more painful losses. But amidst all the sadness, inspirational stories emerged. Since the war began, former MK Rabbi Dov Lipman has been posting these hopeful anecdotes – about soldiers, their families, and everyday Israelis – on his social media platforms. The Magic in the Tragic is a compilation of many of these nuggets of inspiration. A little light dispels a lot of darkness. I am grateful to you for chronicling some of these countless stories and disseminating them, so that they can continue to resound and inspire across space and time. I have no doubt that it is just the qualities that emerge from the pages of this book, qualities of selflessness and connectedness to our broader story, that will enable our nation to weather even the most trying circumstances. I am hopeful that your work, beyond serving memory, will also serve to help us remember the power that we hold: the power to show up for one another, the power to find and empower what unites rather than what divides, and the restorative power of growth, rebuilding, and healing.
