This issue of The Jewish Quarterly examines the demise of Israel's left, which dominated the nation's politics for decades but is now weak, fragmented and shrinking. In a compelling essay, journalist and political commentator Anshel Pfeffer explores the left's failure to articulate a persuasive vision of Israel's national identity and future, and asks whether - and how - the left could revive. Also in this issue, historian Richard J. Evans investigates why Alfred Rosenberg, the chief ideologist of Nazism, became an anti-Semite, and academic and educator Rabbi Raphael Zarum unpacks the philosophy of Jonathan Sacks.
