A Week to Celebrate in the Middle East, as Israel and the World Look Forward [contact-form-7 404 "Not Found"] Mark Twain once said, “All generalizations are false, including this one.” Well, I wonder what Twain would have made of Raphael Patai’s 1973 book, The Arab Mind — an audacious attempt to anatomize the psychological DNA of an entire region by offering a sweeping, all-encompassing portrait of the Arab world. Patai proposed a bold thesis: that Arabs — from Morocco to Iraq, from tribal...

Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism, famously declared: “If you will it, it is no dream.” It’s a memorable line — almost too neat to be true. But what if Herzl got it backward? What if the dream comes first — and the will simply follows? In 1927, J.W. Dunne, a British engineer and airplane designer, published a book called An Experiment with Time.

In his 1878 work Human, All Too Human, the provocative existential philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche coined the aphorism: “Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal.”His words cut deep into one of the significant anomalies of the human condition — our tendency to confuse movement with progress and defiance with purpose.

The great Hasidic master, Rav Nachman of Breslov, famously said, “If you believe you can break something, believe you can fix it.” A Hasidic wag later added, “But whatever you do, don’t believe you’re the one who invented the glue.”There’s something deliciously Jewish about that second line. Yes, you matter and can improve things once you’ve messed up. But no, you didn’t invent the universe — or even the duct tape that holds it together.
