WHAT JERUSALEM MEANS TO US: JEWISH PERSPECTIVES AND REFLECTIONS Jerusalem is a distinctive city for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam and their adherents. It is equally special for Jews and Arabs, Israelis and Palestinians, having been their home for decades, if not centuries and millennia. What Jerusalem Means to Us: Jewish Perspectives and Reflections addresses the intimate and unique connections among Jews, Judaism, and Jerusalem along a variety of dimensions - religious, spiritual, historical, cultural, political, psychological, and social. These are manifested through the perspectives and reflections of sixteen Jewish authors representing different backgrounds. The resultant essays present a rich array of personal and professional transformations, extraordinary love and hope for Jerusalem, as well as an honest appraisal of some of the challenges of daily living. What Jerusalem Means to Us: Jewish Perspectives and Reflections is published by the Jerusalem Peace Institute, which highlights Jerusalem as humanity's shared gift governed by two peoples and cherished by three faiths, and its centrality for a just peace. It complements well the successful What Jerusalem Means to Us: Christian Perspectives and Reflections (2018) and What Jerusalem Means to Us: Muslim Perspectives and Reflections (2020), which were published by HCEF. Edited by: Dr. Saliba Sarsar Co-Founder/President, The Jerusalem Peace Institute Professor of Political Science, Monmouth University and Dr. Carole Monica C.
