Forward and Introduction to the final exquisite photo. this book is a stunningly beautiful view of the land of Israel and its people. I ordered the book off . it arrived in 2 days and after looking at its breathtaking beauty. I immediately ordered a copy for my Torah teacher who was born in Jerusalem. She was so moved by the book and used it that night in her teaching about Israels borders as outlined in Genesis 15. As you leaf through the pages. you will see with your own eyes why the author cited the Talmud and wrote in her introduction. "Ten measures of beauty descended upon the world. nine were taken by Jerusalem". It belongs on the coffee table of every Jew. Christian and other supporters of Israel. and unlike most books of its kind. you will look at it again and again. Do yourself a favor and buy several copies to keep on hand as gifts. You will make people very happy!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Perfect gift for anyone with an interest in IsraelBy Harold HenkelHow is it that. year after year. the UN ldquo;World Happiness Reportrdquo; ranks Israel as one of the worldrsquo;s happiest nations? Israel. a country with compulsory military service. enemies bent on its destruction. and three national days of mourning. Readers looking for an answer to this paradox will do no better than to acquire a copy of Karen Lehrman Blochrsquo;s tour through the astonishing varieties of nature. life. creativity. and faith that define Israel. In her acknowledgments. Bloch writes that inspiration for the book came not only from lovers of Israel (Jewish. Christian. and Muslim) but from the lies and distortions that form part of the daily output in most of the global media. She also reveals a powerful idea at the bookrsquo;s heart: ldquo;Israel is indeed a mirror to onersquo;s soul. Those who see the beauty. who stand up for the truth. who understand the meaning. will never regret where they stood in this moment of history. when silence is not an option.rdquo;1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I cant recommend this artfully curated study of diversity in actionBy CustomerAs a life-long student of photography. I was taken by this books ability to capture the essence of Israel: A country rich in cultural vibrancy and colorful landscapes. I cant recommend highly enough this artfully curated study of diversity in action. The Israeli people and her vivid topography makes for compelling subject matter. It is a high quality visual collection of prints that truly lifts the spirit and transports the soul.
