Why read it?
1 author picked Rabbi Outcast as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
My earlier work on Jewish opposition to Zionism focused mostly on ultra-orthodox Jews. This book introduced me to a different kind of religious Jews affiliated with the Reform movement.

From Yakov's list on honest books about Israel and Zionism.
