Struggling with Israel in a Marriage
Why do you call yourself Jewish when you haven't stepped into a synagogue for years? Gina asks. David responds: Your questions about being Jewish make me shudder. Gina Crandell and David Roochnik have published many books in their academic fields but in Struggling with Israel in a Marriage, they dig into their memories to ask where their sometimes conflicting views about Israel came from. In alternating chapters Gina and David access their youth, marriage, and the present. They dive into their religious and secular backgrounds, the meaning of "Jewishness" for their "mixed" marriage and children, and their often heated conversations about Israel. Whether readers support or condemn Israel, by default or by devotion, they will be engaged by this tumultuous dialogue between two people who know each other deeply yet for decades have persistently kept asking questions of one another and their country.
David Roochnik is professor emeritus of philosophy at Boston University. He is the author of seven books and over forty articles on Ancient Greek philosophy.
