Eliezer Schweid's career has spanned the history of the State of Israel from the pre-war Yishuv period to the present. In these essays he recalls his formative years in the Zionist youth and the Hebrew University; reflects on the existential loneliness of the modern Jew; examines the perennial problem of theodicy through a Jewish lens in its broadest human parameters; and offers a challenging critique of the postmodern culture of the "global village".
