{"product_id":"israeli-preoccupations-9780823215478","title":"Israeli Preoccupations","description":"\u003cp\u003eRanging from the critical and adversarial to the credulous and celebratory, this collection of articles calculates a running tab of persistent Israeli preoccupations, chiefly, coming to terms with Palestinians, and the conditions facing women in the Jewish state. The essays are not so much \"confessional\" as they are intelligently and sensitively written in Chertok's own personal voice. Indeed most of his preoccupations are poignant observations are born of the daily quirks, vexations, and beguilements of many years spent awakening and lyind down inside a very particular town in the Negev. In the concluding section of his work, Chertok self-admittedly risks \"the saline fate of the Lot's spouse\" by concluding with several backward glances at the American Jewish community. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn different form, portions of \u003ci\u003eIsraeli Preoccupations \u003c\/i\u003ehave appeared in a variety of journals, including \u003ci\u003eChallenge\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCongress Monthly\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHadassah\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e The Jerusalem Post\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e Jewish Frontier\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Jewish Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMidstream\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Nation\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTikkun\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haim Chertok","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48282597622011,"sku":"9780823215478","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_d7126186-aee4-4a07-b17f-0f9d7a78fe69.jpg?v=1778268141","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/israeli-preoccupations-9780823215478","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
