Israel at 60, and Beyond
Editorial, the Jerusalem Post | May 8, 2008
In a sort of ‘State of the Union’ address, the Jerusalem Post marks the 60th anniversary with the struggles, triumphs, and miracles that have brought about the first geographically defined Jewish civilization since millennia. ++ Accompanying these successes are, however, huge challenges for the next 60 years. ++ Israel struggles with its own definition of Jewishness, religious character, evolving social structure, and above all, regional context. ++ A day of remembrance has become a day of prayer for the difficult road that lies ahead.
