Comparing their ideological change to acts of conversion, the study examines the philosophical, sociological, and psychological path of the leaders' transformation. The individuals examined are: novelist Arthur Koestler, transformed from a devout Communist to an anti-Communist crusader following the atrocities of the Stalin regime; Norman Podhoretz, editor of Commentary Magazine, moved from the New Left to neo-Conservative, disillusioned by US liberal politics; Yissachar Shlomo Teichtel, transformed from an ultra-Orthodox anti-Zionist Hungarian rabbi to messianic Religious-Zionist due to the events of the Holocaust; Ruth Ben-David, converted to Judaism after the Second World War in France because of her sympathy with Zionism, eventually becoming a radical anti-Israeli advocate; Haim Herman Cohn, Israeli Supreme Court Justice, grew up as a non-Zionist Orthodox Jew in Germany, later renouncing his belief in God due to the events of the Holocaust; and Avraham (Avrum) Burg, prominent centrist Israeli politician who served as the Speaker of the Knesset and head of the Jewish Agency, later became a post-Zionist. Comparing aspects of modern politics to religion, the book will be of interest to researchers in a broad range of areas including modern Jewish studies, sociology of religion and political science."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Jews $x Identity. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85070419 650 0 $a Jews $x Politics and government. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85070434 650 0 $a Jews $x Social conditions. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh90005510 650 0 $a Judaism $x History. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85070847 650 0 $a Conversion $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Conversion $x Judaism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00877236 650 7 $a Jews $x Identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983278 650 7 $a Jews $x Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983330 650 7 $a Jews $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983360 650 7 $a Judaism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984280 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 $a Routledge Jewish studies series. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2006058546 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214015912.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F9FC1E7A0CF511EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
