Reader recommendation: Embracing Israel/Palestine

Monitor readers share their favorite book picks.

By Mike White, Ashland, Ohio / June 7, 2012

Rabbi Michael Lerner’s excellent Embracing Israel/Palestine is neither pro-Israeli nor pro-Palestinian. Rather Lerner presents a stategy that shows deep understanding of both peoples and how they might both achieve peace and security. It’s the best book I have read on this hugely challenging problem.
