Every Jew and every Israeli should be agents of hope

Rabbi Dr. Tamir Granot, who lost his son in the 'Swords of Iron' war, launches a new book calling for a new language of covenant and responsibility instead of guilt and coercion, addressing the relationship between the Haredi community and the state and social polarization.

Rabbi Dr. Tamir Granot, who lost his son Captain Amitai Tzvi Granot in the 'Swords of Iron' war, launches a new book titled 'On the Edge of the Covenant' (Yedioth Books). In the book, he calls for replacing the language of guilt with a language of responsibility, and building a new social covenant through a shared language. Granot addresses the issue of Haredi conscription, arguing that the state created the Haredi enclave through budgets without demanding reciprocity, and that the solution is linking service to economic support. He emphasizes mutual responsibility in Israeli society and quotes from his son's diaries as a personal compass. The book seeks to provide tools for dealing with polarization and division in Israeli society after October 7.
