Book excerpt: My Israel, Our Generation is the story of the generation of Israelis born after the Six Day War, a generation whose grandparents founded the country, whose parents fought for its survival, and who themselves now face the challenge of shaping Israel's character. This generation was raised with great idealism and a belief in simple truths about justice, morality and right and wrong, but is living with a far more complex reality than they expected or were prepared to face. My Israel, Our Generation is also an open letter to Israel's next generation of leaders, in which Wilf offers a vision of a country based on excellence and inclusion: Excellence, because Israel simply cannot afford less, and inclusion because each and every Israeli has the right to experience the sense of belonging which all humans crave.
