Title: A prescient view
Review: Herman saw that there would be a greater divergence in the future between elite Israelis with a secular identity, and religious Jews. Today we live in a world where at least some of those secular Israelis have become Post- Zionists, and some of those religious Jews have become more extreme in denying any real national component to their identity.However this summary statement of mine is also simplistic, and perhaps to truly understand Jewish and Israeli views one must be ready to think of all kinds of combinations along a continuum between non- Jewish and non- Israeli identification and strong Israeli and strong Jewish identification.I would however stress that the important point today , and I believe Herman also sees this then is the centrality of renewing Jewish education so that Jews everywhere including Israelis have a strong sense of their own history and the centrality of Israel to it.
