An estimated 1 million notes are left in the Kotel each year, and cleaned out before Pesach and Rosh Hashanah. Israel is a place that is rich in faith and culture, but it does not exist without controversy. This thought-provoking collection of essays guides readers into various concepts and issues relating to Israel. Across four chapters, readers are asked to evaluate whether it should exist, what the key issues are of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, whether peace is possible, and what the U.S. policy toward Israel should be. Stellar essay sources include Benjamin Netanyahu, King Abdullah II of Jordan, Middle East Quarterly, Charles Krauthammer, and Yehuda Avner.
