Synopsis

Maya's study analyzes how Amital, a Religious Zionist leader and Holocaust survivor, has addressed the cataclysmic event on both the educational and the spiritual level. In contrast to the majority of Religious Zionists, who perceive a theological link between the Holocaust and the establishment of the state of Israel, Amital rejects any such connection; at the same time, the memory of the Holocaust stands at the foundation of all his moral positions, an effect that is both explicit and conscious. Maya, who is currently completing a doctorate in Jewish history at Haifa U., teaches at the Ulpanit in Tiberias and at Yeshivat Ha-Kibbutz Ha-Dati in Ma'aleh Gilboa.
