The Return of Israel and the Hope of the World is a foundation book by Abraham Livni. He wrote it as a man who had crossed over himself. Raised in Paris and trained in philosophy at the Sorbonne, he came of age at the end of the Second World War, when every idol had fallen. He examined every system of meaning Europe had to offer, and found what he was looking for where he had not been taught to look. He moved to Jerusalem.
What surprises the reader who comes from that world is the starting point. The book does not open with doctrine. It opens with history as it is happening: the destruction of European Jewry, the rebirth of the State of Israel, a Land that stayed barren under every other people and flowered for its own. Livni reads these events through the Prophets of Israel, and the reading turns a familiar question around. The question is not what Israel means for its own survival. It is what the Return of Israel means for the future of every nation.
The road ends where the Noahide stands: the uniqueness of Israel, a nation and not a religion, and the Seven Commandments given to all humanity, read together as one structure.

First edition. This is the first digital edition in English, newly translated from the French original and released before final proofreading. Corrections and remarks are welcome at office@britolam.community.
The Return of Israel to its Land, read in all its dimensions: an answer to the crisis of the modern world, a return to the Land of the Prophets, the close of two thousand years of exile, and a moral and spiritual renewal. Livni's claim is that this event is not a local matter. It concerns the future of humanity as a whole.
For anyone who senses that the frame they inherited no longer explains what they see in the world, and especially for Noahides who want to understand the place of Israel, and their own place, in what is unfolding.
A French thinker who studied philosophy at the Sorbonne and wrote on the search for meaning in modern literature before settling in Jerusalem. This book records the conclusion of that search: not a starting point, in his words, but a point of arrival.
