Make Peace: A Strategic Guide for Achieving Lasting Peace In Israel | Middle East Politics and Arab-Israeli Conflict Analysis Following the October ... Rebbe's Vision for Peace and Security

by Sichos In English, Yonah Press, Elisha Pearl

FOR OVER HALF A CENTURY, world leaders have pursued peace in the Middle East, investing billions of dollars and immeasurable effort. Despite this, Israel’s security and regional stability remain precarious. Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, was one of the twentieth century’s most influential Jewish leaders. The Rebbe proposed a visionary approach to lasting peace in the Land of Israel, rooted in the Torah’s wisdom and a profound understanding of geopolitical realities. Since the 1950s, Israel’s political and military leaders sought the Rebbe’s counsel and blessing, and many continue to draw inspiration from his teachings today. Through his extensive correspondence with Israeli leadership and public talks, the Rebbe passionately advocated for a principled path to resolving the conflict. “Make Peace” presents the Rebbe’s timeless vision for Israel’s security in a clear and accessible manner, distilling thousands of pages of his commentary into a systematic guide. By contextualizing the Rebbe's insights within the framework of military strategy and Israel’s history, this book offers a compelling and practical approach to resolving the seemingly intractable conflict and fostering true, lasting peace.

I had the opportunity to meet the author a short time ago. This is vital reading to understand the conflict over the Land of Israel and what can be done to secure peace.

Great read! Hard to put down! This book was interesting and informative. A must read for all Jews and non-Jews alike!

Doesn't actually make any policy recommendations and address the realpolitick.

A well written and clear headed investigation into the Rebbe's approach to bringing peace to Israel and the Middle East. Copious footnotes and end matter enhance the book. One small improvement would be an index.
