Greetings from Pennsylva...This was e-mailed to me:<br /><br />Greetings from Pennsylvania.<br /><br />Upon noting your most recent post, I did a little searching, and found the attached (PDF) item by Dr. Walter Zander, here:<br /><br />Publications by Dr Walter Zander - Introduction<br />www.walterzander.info<br />THE WALTER ZANDER WEBSITE Introduction. The purpose of this website is to make available the writings of Walter Zander, who was born in Germany in 1898 and who died in London in 1993 aged 94.<br />"This is the official website owned by the Zander family and dedicated to the late Dr. Walter Zander. © Zander family 2004."<br /><br /> To be honest, I've not had the opportunity to fully read either the pamphlet or the material at the website. <br /><br /> However, I couldn't help but notice this statement, in the next-to-last paragraph of "Is This The Way": <br /><br /><br />"The eyes of the Jews are turned towards the future, and Israel can be fully understood only on the eschatological plane. As Dostoevski<br />said, in spite of their forty-century-old history, the final word about the Jews has not yet been spoken. Our history is not yet completed and a last and decisive event is still to come. Essentially, the Palestinian crisis is not political, but spiritual."<br /><br /> Also, Michael Zander's remarks about his father ("Remarks by Michael Zander, brother of Benjamin, on their father, Dr. Walter Zander"), concludes with this statement:<br /><br />"Through thousands of years, Jewish life has seen the ultimate reality in the spirit and has found its deepest expression in religion. The restoration to the Holy Land must have its final meaning in our religious destiny. It must be more than the renascence of Hebrew as a living language and the birth of a new literature and art, more than the revival of an ancient and venerable national civilization, and even more than the creation of a new society. The return to Palestine is the precondition of a new era in our religious development–an era in which the present spiritual frustration will end and Israel will finds its redemption."<br /><br /> To me - (well, okay, I could be wrong) - these statements seem to echo of a curiously christological interpretation of Jewish history, and, the future of the Jewish people.YMedadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333122797414935958noreply@blogger.com
