Dichotomous Jewish understandings of security: Historical origins and contemporary expressions

Stuart A. Cohen

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

Traditional Jewish perspectives on national security reﬂect two contradictory inﬂuences. One is the messianic vision contained in the Hebrew Bible, indisputably the foundational text of all Jewish teachings; the other is bitter historical experience, especially as memorialized in the threnodies added over the centuries to the traditional Jewish liturgy. The ﬁrst part of this chapter will discuss the dichotomous messages imparted by those two bodies of sources. Thereafter, it will analyze the principal Jewish debates over the religious meaning of security currently taking place, especially in the modern state of Israel.
