...interest in the current system, none of these reforms stand much chance of passage in the coming months. Moreover, Labor and Likud would have to work together -- an unlikely prospect -- to steamroller the necessary bills past the smaller parties. And even if reform succeeded, it would not alleviate the profound divisions within the Israeli electorate. "The Messiah won't come through changing the system of elections," says Rabbi Abraham Ravitz, whose Degel Hatorah party holds two seats. But at least the nation would be guided from the top by leaders chosen by the people...
...neatly packaged; thus the only way to convey any true sense of them is to transmit their stories at length and in profusion. The result is a huge number of trees, many lovely, that never become a forest. Interlocutors both fascinating and tedious, mundane sight- seeing jaunts and profound observations, telling vignettes and pointless collections of detail are all jumbled together in a work too long by half. Good questions are posed but not answered. Glass himself remains strangely opaque, a formless conduit, until the account of his captivity. At first his prayers sought to bargain God into releasing...

Moreover, evidence abounds that all but a few of the 38 Jewish members of Congress (eight Senators, 30 Representatives) favor a compromise in which Israel would exchange territory for peace along the lines suggested by the Reagan and Bush administrations -- despite their unwillingness to say so publicly...
...whether Jews can say grace without being totally satisfied. Even more important, the question is whether religious loyalty requires believing that there is only one way. Or does Judaism affirm that no human community has access to the total truth? In responding to these questions, says Hartman, "the most profound Jewish values are at stake. Israel cannot claim the allegiance of Jews everywhere if the spiritual content of Israeli life is not what a Jew living anywhere would want to emulate. If all Israel is about is developing into a nation that will be like all other nations, there...
