When Israel reached 60 years of independence, the UJIA’s Jewish Life Education Centre published this collection of three short stories and three excerpts to celebrate Israel’s achievement.
The varied stories raise questions of what we perceive Israel to be; challenge the role Israel plays in the identity of its citizens and in our identities; and explore the experiences of, and relationships between, the many different people and characters that form part of Israeli society.
Read them for your own enjoyment of Israeli literature as one example of the talent and achievement Israel has to celebrate.
A short excerpt from an early work by one of Israel's most celebrated and admired authors.
Grossman portrays the frustration and confusion of a group of soldiers at a base in Sinai shortly before it is due to be dismantled. The story encapsulates a sense of the Israeli mood after the Yom Kippur War, whilst depicting the different ways the army impacts on masculinity.
