Nowhere has the crisis of the spirit in Judaism found more dramatic expression than in the State of Israel. There are, unfortunately, two Israels, a secular one and a religious one. The form that the division between the two has taken on is itself one of the most serious symptoms of the crisis. Since the State of Israel is central to Jewish life the world over, the Jewish people outside the State cannot be indifferent to the spiritual situation within the State, especially since it is from there that they have hoped for a renaissance of all Israel.
