1)Thou Shalt Innovate
How Israeli Ingenuity Repairs the World
By Avi Jorisch
Thou
Shalt Innovate profiles wondrous Israeli innovations that are
collectively changing the lives of billions of people around the world and
explores why Israeli innovators of all faiths feel compelled to make the world
better. This is the story of how Israelis are helping to feed the hungry, cure
the sick, protect the defenseless, and make the desert bloom. Israel is playing
a disproportionate role in helping solve some of the world’s biggest challenges
by tapping into the nation’s soul: the spirit of tikkun olam –
the Jewish concept of repairing the world.
There is
no single narrative that fully describes the State of Israel. But there is also
no denying that Israel has extraordinary innovators who are bound together by
their desire to save lives and find higher purpose. Thou Shalt Innovate introduces
the reader to Israelis who exude light in the face of the darkness, people who
have chosen hope and healing over death and destruction. In a world that has
more than its share of darkness, these stories are rays of light.
