To Unify a Nation

"[Lipman] deserve[s] appreciation for [his] activities which seek to build bridges of unity, understanding, and tolerance between the religious and non-religious populations in Israel. [His] public actions serve as an example of responsible rabbinic work which adds honor to the Jewish nation and to the State of Israel and reflects the deep ethics and morals of Judaism in its glory." --Shimon Peres, president of Israel "What unites a brilliant, optimistic, and indefatigable Orthodox rabbi like Dov Lipman and... me? [...] This book, much like its author, deals with this problem with courage and wisdom. This is not simply a book but a call to action and the beginning of a discussion." --Yair Lapid, Finance Minister of the State of Israel "MK Rabbi Dov Lipman's new book is important for two primary reasons. Firstly, it deals with the fundamental issues affecting our nation and the way it ought to look... Secondly, it was written by a young politician who, in his own combination of traditional observance and involvement in the broader world, presents a personal example worthy of emulation and representative of how many of the seeming paradoxes affecting Israel might be resolved." --Natan Sharansky, Chairman of the Executive, Jewish Agency for Israel "Exploring the issues of the separation between religion and state in Israel, this book by Knesset parliament member Rabbi Dov Lipman lays out his vision for the future."
