It was Ruskin who divided all books into two classes: into books of the hour and books for all time. To the first belong the great majority of books; to the second, the few and chosen. To the latter belongs Rome amd Jerusalem. It is as timely to-day as it was fifty-six years ago, when it first saw the light of day; and, in a sense, even more timely, for Rome wnd Jerusalem belongs to the very few books which are written in advance of their time. To-day, when Zionism has grown from a mere dream in the minds of a few, to a great ideal which is the goal of a great organization, and Jewish Nationalism has become a mighty force in Jewish life, the translator feels confident that anE nglish version of Rome and Jerusalem, the herald of Nationalism and trumpet of Zionism, will certainly find a welcome reception among those to whom the future of the Jewish people is a matter of deep concern. For the book bears a message to the Zionist and non-Z ionist alike. To the iirst it supplies the the philosophic basis and the depth of thought which are essential for the conception as well as the realization of his ideal. To the second it furnishes a broader view of Judaism and of the Jewish problem and its solution.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of letters exploring the author's rediscovery of his Jewish identity and its connection to the historical and cultural significance of the Holy Land. Returning to his roots after a long estrangement, the author grapples with questions of faith, nationality, and the complex relationship between Judaism and the broader world. Written against the backdrop of 19th-century European political and intellectual upheaval, the book reflects on the challenges faced by Jews seeking emancipation and assimilation, while also highlighting the enduring power of Jewish tradition and the yearning for a national homeland. Through personal reflections, philosophical insights, and historical analysis, the author argues for the unique role of Judaism in shaping human history and its potential to contribute to a future of universal brotherhood. He critiques both the assimilationist tendencies of Reform Judaism and the rigid dogmatism of Orthodoxy, advocating for a revitalized Judaism that embraces its national character and historical mission. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling vision of Jewish national regeneration, rooted in the belief that the Jewish people have a vital role to play in the advancement of humanity and the pursuit of social harmony.
