This new book "But Is It Jewish?" explores how writers of the 3rd Jewish Commonwealth have not only gone to the well of ancient and traditional text to find inspiration but have drunk deeply of it's waters - to create a modern body of work with ancient echoes. Paperback, BiblioBooks, 186 pages / ISBN: 0-9766681-1-4 Amnon Hadary was born in Palestine in 1929, spent the years '38 to '48 in Chicago, and returned to the Land of Israel in time to serve in the Palmach during the War of Independence. So he has experienced life in the diaspora in one of the world's oldest democracies and homecoming to one of the newest. A member of a kibbutz for 20 years, he spent the past 35 years in Jerusalem, working, writing, editing and lecturing. His first book, in Hebrew - Ruah B'li Hatzalah / ha-Roman ha-Yehudi ba-Amerika (To Royal Estate: The American Jewish Novel) was a critique of American Jewish literature. Married, with children and grandchildren, his commitment to Zionism remains vital: its realization attainable only through the imperative of peace. The affirmations of an unrepentant Zionist are written in that spirit. There will be a limited book signing tour - mid-September and October in NY, Philadelphia and Chicago areas -by the author (and Rivka) please feel free to contact them for further details and an invitation and even the possibility of setting up a lecture while they're in the states.
