Mention the word “Zion” to five of your friends and you’re likely to get five different answers ranging from “you mean Israel?” to “Oh Shit, I loved the Matrix!” For those of us who have visited the true Zion, I think the feeling in many ways matches the sentiment expressed in the movie: “If the war was over tomorrow, Zion is where the party would be.”
That being said, the politically charged climate in which Israel exists as it approaches its 60th anniversary allows for a truly fantastic range of viewpoints on how Israel should make its way forward in the next sixty years. The goal of this blog is to be a sounding board for a panoply of viewpoints on the state of the State of Israel. It is an experiment, and hopefully, much like that of our subject, one which will grow and change over time while staying true to its most fundamental goals.
