Narrow Straits, A Conversation with Dr. Michael Kigel (25:21)
For most peoples, cultural identity evolved hand-in-hand with national identity; collective development was inextricably tied to the lands in which they lived. This was not the case, however, with the Jewish people. True, Israel as homeland is a central concept in Judaism, but for most of our existence, we have lived outside of Israel
