Biography
Dr. Daniel Gordis is Senior Vice President and the Koret Distinguished Fellow at Shalem College. The author of more than ten books, Gordis is a regular columnist for both the Jerusalem Post and for Bloomberg View.
Gordis’ writing has appeared in magazines and newspapers including the New York Times, The New Republic, the New York Times Magazine, Azure, Commentary and Foreign Affairs, and his books have received numerous awards. He won the National Jewish Book Award for Saving Israel, and two of his books were Finalists for the National Jewish Book Award.
Gordis’ newest book is a history of the State of Israel entitled ISRAEL: A CONCISE HISTORY OF A NATION REBORN. Ambassador Dennis Ross, reflecting on the book, wrote, “When I am asked ‘Is there one book to read about Israel?’ I now have an answer.” Ari Shavit wrote, “Like Israel itself, Daniel Gordis’s Israel: A Concise History of a Nation Reborn is audacious, intensive and unique.” Yossi Klein HaLevi wrote, “Daniel Gordis has written a luminous history …. Gordis gives us the soul of Israel, and helps explain why the most hated country on the planet is also among the most beloved.”
Professor Alan Dershowitz has called Gordis “one of Israel’s most thoughtful observers.” The Forward has called him “one of the most respected Israel analysts around.” In 2014, the Jerusalem Post listed him as one of the world’s 50 most influential Jews, while Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic has written, “If you asked me, ‘of all the people you know, who cares the most about the physical, moral and spiritual health of Israel?’ I would put the commentator and scholar Daniel Gordis at the top of the list.”

以色列的故事,是一个无家可归民族一年多年来坚持梦想的故事,是一个在深渊边缘徘徊的民族最终实现救赎的故事,是一家国家创造奇迹、开创未来的故事。«以色列:一个民族的重生»是一部以色列的通史,不同于其他以色列史,这本书并非关注于中东局势、阿以战争、以色列经济...
评分文 | 王戎(《以色列:一个民族的重生》译者) 说到以色列,在国内有一整套相对固定的说辞:论历史,我们会谈到《圣经》,谈到振奋人心的以色列建国史;论军事,我们会谈到中东战争,谈到梅卡瓦坦克和铁穹导弹防御系统;论情报,我们会谈到摩萨德,谈到艾希曼被捕,谈到以色列...
评分再也没有比以色列更适合用“生于忧患”来形容的国家了。 1948年5月14日,在特拉维夫的一个美术馆里,以色列第一任总理本·古里安在一片肃静中宣读了包含979个希伯来语单词的《建国宣言》,无数在收音机前喜极而泣的犹太人冲出家门互相拥抱,整个巴勒斯坦化作一片欢乐的海洋。然...
评分我所购的是第二次印刷版本,刚开始阅读。第13页的注为解释犹太复国主义一词含义及由来,似乎与注释所标记的位置不相关(标记处文字为“现代犹太文化中心”),感觉应该是对本页“犹太复国主义代表大会”处的注,不知诸君以为然否?书是一本好书,希望有第三次、第四次印刷,如...

The first comprehensive yet accessible history of the state of Israel from its inception to present day, from Daniel Gordis, "one of the most respected Israel analysts" (The Forward) living and writing in Jerusalem.
Israel is a tiny state, and yet it has captured the world’s attention, aroused its imagination, and lately, been the object of its opprobrium. Why does such a small country speak to so many global concerns? More pressingly: Why does Israel make the decisions it does? And what lies in its future?
We cannot answer these questions until we understand Israel’s people and the questions and conflicts, the hopes and desires, that have animated their conversations and actions. Though Israel’s history is rife with conflict, these conflicts do not fully communicate the spirit of Israel and its people: they give short shrift to the dream that gave birth to the state, and to the vision for the Jewish people that was at its core. Guiding us through the milestones of Israeli history, Gordis relays the drama of the Jewish people’s story and the creation of the state. Clear-eyed and erudite, he illustrates how Israel became a cultural, economic and military powerhouse—but also explains where Israel made grave mistakes and traces the long history of Israel’s deepening isolation.
With Israel, public intellectual Daniel Gordis offers us a brief but thorough account of the cultural, economic, and political history of this complex nation, from its beginnings to the present. Accessible, levelheaded, and rigorous, Israel sheds light on the Israel’s past so we can understand its future. The result is a vivid portrait of a people, and a nation, reborn.
