The axis of memory in Israel stretches from the Zionist revolution to the post-Zionist controversy. Do Israelis shape their myths in every generation\u2014and examine them critically\u2014or do the myths condition the patterns of their thinking and actions? How does a myth constitute Israelis\u2019 collective memory? What is the place of this memory, which is constantly being created, on Israelis\u2019 political action, social thought, and cultural creativity? Is it possible to still talk about \u201cthe\u201d Israelis?<\/p>\n

This is an innovative interdisciplinary study whose aim is to clarify the presence of myths in Jewish thought, Zionist ideology, and Israeli society. Its sixteen papers reveal and map the \u201cmythical order\u201d in Judaism, Zionism, and Israeliness. The authors see myths as perspectival truth, another means of interpretation, bubbling up from below the surface like an underground stream.<\/p>\n

The study considers Gershom Scholem and the Baba Sali, Trumpeldor and Emil Grunzweig, the Lubavitcher Rebbe and Friedrich Nietsche, Herzl and Ben-Gurion, Masada and Auschwitz, Tel-Hai and Netivot, the sacrifice of Isaac and the intifada, Messianism and post-Zionism.<\/p>\n
