"An outside observer may take the Zionists for crazy. And indeed, if we were normal, we would not dream of Eretz Israel, but would remain in place, like all people. Those who do not believe in the difficult path, those who think that it is dangerous there is no need to choose a path; it is better to sit at home. Do not build a permanent House for the people with fear and timidity.” Chaim Weizmann, first president of the State of Israel (from a speech in 1914)

“This was - in the author’s opinion - an impressive period in the history of the “state on the road”: incredible events, amazing personalities and, finally, the creation of the Jewish state , which occurred under circumstances bordering on a miracle.”

The second book in the series “The Earth Under Your Feet” is about the thirty years that preceded the appearance of the State of Israel on the world map. The work spans from the 1920 San Remo Conference (where Britain received an international mandate to govern Palestine) to the proclamation of the new state on May 14, 1948. A fascinating and gripping story of a two-thousand-year dream turned into reality, clearly confirming the prophetic words of Theodor Herzl about the revival of Israel - “If you really want it, this is not a fairy tale!”
