History

This is the one book you must listen to about northern Israel!

“These swashbuckling accounts of astounding spirit and sacrifice are thoroughly researched and make for a riveting read.”

Written and read by a member of the International Advisory Board for a Northern Israel Research and Education Center, this fascinating narrative reveals the more than century long story of a Jewish nation being rebuilt along Israel’s northern borders where it once flourished. Through intimate profiles of many residents in multiple border communities–combined with thorough research–readers will meet people who settled the region, dealt with its tribulations, and that still struggle to live normal lives in a land that remains challenging. Those intrepid souls will inspire you, and humor you, as you come to know many ordinary men and women that have accomplished extraordinary things.

Propelled by Sobin’s passion for the region and written in a conversational style, this indelible narrative is required listening for learning about a critical part of Israel’s past, present, and future.
