By: Meir Y. SoloveichikBernard-Henri Lévy’s Israel Alone contains much truth, but its title is fundamentally false. And this means that as insightful and eloquent as the author of this volume often is about the threats Israel faces, his thesis reveals that there is much about the world, and the Jewish place within it, that he does not understand.

“Wrestling With God,” Jordan Peterson’s latest book, is an unusual bestseller: It is a tome dedicated to the study of Scripture. In a wide-ranging interview last week, Mr. Peterson told me, “The book that you have is one-third of what I wrote.” When I laughed and said I was envisioning his editor receiving a 1,500-page draft, he responded: “That’s actually what happened.”More striking than the book’s success is the intellectual journey of its author.
