Like Dreamers: The Story of the Israeli Paratroopers
Who Reunited Jerusalem and Divided a Nation
by Yossi Klein Halevi
Harper Collins, 2013, 608 pp.
Growing up in Borough Park, Brooklyn, Yossi Klein Halevi was a devotee of the ultra-rightist rabbi Meier Kahane, an
experience he chronicled in an honest autobiography, Memoirs of a Jewish Extremist. But after moving to Jerusalem
in 1982, he broke from this hardcore and hateful ideology to become one of Israel's most generous-minded
journalists and analysts. Once a fellow at the right-wing, Sheldon Adelson-supported Shalem Center, he now resides
at the more ecumenical Shalom Hartman Institute as part of a special unit that promotes deeper understanding of
Israeli society to the Diaspora Jewish community. Click here for more
