About this ebook
Reform Judaism and Zionism have been two of the most transformative movements in Jewish life for generations. Standing between these two great forces, pulling them ever closer together, has been Rabbi Richard Hirsch. This book traces Rabbi Hirsch's initiatives to build and support Progressive Judaism in Israel and to integrate Reform Judaism into the Zionist movement. It also explores the major historical events in the international Jewish community over the last forty years, and Rabbi Hirsch's key role in many of them. For the Sake of Zion is fascinating and instructive reading for anyone seeking a better udnerstanding of the Reform Movement outside North America.
