Abstract:

Evaluating the current state of world Jewry, the author contends that the modern world presents the Jewish people with only two options for continued viable existence: Zionism and Emancipation. The author discusses both, including the risks and advantages inherent in each. He further prescribes an agenda and role for Jewish leadership in maximizing Jewish continuity.
