How do we know if a country is a success? Israel at 75, with Daniel Gordis
How do we know if a country is a success? It’s a question that our guest on this episode, Dr. Daniel Gordis , tried to answer in a new book, timed for the 75th anniversary of Israel’s independence. His book is called “Impossible Takes Longer: 75 Years After Its Creation, Has Israel Fulfilled Its Founders’ Dreams?” Gordis moved to Israel in 1998, where he raised three children. He is one of the most thoughtful observers of Israeli life and Israeli history. Gordis is the Koret Distinguished Fellow at Shalem College, a liberal arts college in Israel that he co-founded. And he's the author of more than ten books, including "Israel: A Concise History of a Nation Reborn", "Menachem Begin: The Battle for Israel’s Soul", and "We Stand Divided: The Rift Between American Jews and Israel". Gordis also has his own podcast and blog, called “Israel from the Inside".
