Beginnings,1948
In 1946, twenty-year old Gertrude Segelman sailed for Palestine, looking to reconnect with a father who had left when she was six to follow his Zionist dream. What she found was an incredible adventure. In her first year, she dodged British soldiers to build illegal settlements, worked the earth for the first time on a kibbutz, changed her name to Tova, and married Mordechai Eizik, an Irgun idealist living in a tiny village on the Syrian border. When she married Mordechai, and moved to far-flung Mishmar HaYarden to join his Irgun pioneer group, Tova found herself sandwiched between two hostile forces: the Syrians just across the Jordan River, and the powerful socialist Mapai party that contr...

The Hebrew Bible Reborn
This work, the first of its kind, describes all the aspects of the Bible revolution in Jewish history in the last two hundred years, as well as the emergence of the new biblical culture. It describes the circumstances and processes that turned Holy Scripture into the Book of Books and into the history of the biblical period and of the people – the Jewish people. It deals with the encounter of the Jews with modern biblical criticism and the archaeological research of the Ancient Near East and with contemporary archaeology.

The last section describes at length various aspects of the key status assigned to the Bible in the new Jewish culture in Europe, and particularly in modern Jewish Palestine, as a “guide to life” in education, culture and politics, as well as part of the attempt to create a new Jewish man, and as a source of inspiration for various creative arts.

Besides exploring the life and times of the Vilna Gaon, the 704-page book identifies, provides documentation for more than 20,000 descendants of the Vilna Gaon and his siblings. There is an index listing all persons in the book. The Gaon's descendants seem as diverse as the Jewish people itself, Freedman said. Some descendants were prominent rabbis and academicians. Some were involved in a rare agricultural settlement experiment in Russia, while others variously served in the American Civil War and emigrated to places like England and Australia well before the mass migrations of the 1880s.
