Overview
Jewish Statesmanship is the first book that systematically interfaces political science and Torah. It not only reveals the fatal flaws of Israel's political and judicial institutions, but also provides a comprehensive program for reconstructing these institutions on solid Jewish and democratic foundations. To facilitate this objective, the book contains a draft constitution, aspects of which have been adopted by various political parties in Israel. Jewish Statesmanship also examines the confusion that exists in Israel regarding such basic concepts as "democracy," "religion," "citizenship," and "Who is a Jew?" It formulates a new conception of democracy and, in the process, provides a Judaic understanding of freedom and equality.

The Jewish Press
Unlike the many pundits who write and speak with no underlying knowledge of Israel and its problematic survival, Dr. Eidelberg brings to his analyses a wealth of genuine erudition. 'Jewish Statesmanship' remains a classic in its area. . . 'Jewish Statesmanship' is likely to remain the benchmark for this particular genre for a very long time. It should be read by all who wish to voice an opinion on Israel that is informed and persuasive.— Louis Rene Beres, Purdue University
