The Dramatic Events, Fateful Results, and Unlearned Lessons of Ancient Israel’s Political Suicide

Israeli bestseller The Jewish March of Folly is a revolutionary history of the Jewish people that discovers ancient Israel’s forgotten civil wars, places them at the heart of Jewish history, and probes their meaning for the future of the Jewish people and the Jewish state.

Blending journalistic storytelling with historical narration, The Jewish March of Folly reads like a news reporter’s account of political dramas, military battles, personal tragedies, spiritual crises, and social revolutions, while bringing the past to life and probing its consequences – to this day.

A charge sheet against reckless leaders who exposed their nation to a catastrophic future, The Jewish March of Folly’s warning last decade, that modern Israel is resuming ancient Israel’s fateful rifts, has proven prophetic this decade, twice: first, when Israel reached the brink of civil war, and then when that crisis was followed by foreign invasion, as had happened repeatedly after ancient Israel’s civil wars.

Acclaimed by prominent scholars and literati, quoted widely by leaders from right and left, and handed by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett to the Israeli cabinet’s ministers, The Jewish March of Folly was on the Israeli bestseller lists for more
than 20 weeks.
