      abstract = {Ranging from the critical and adversarial to the credulous  and celebratory, this collection of articles calculates a  running tab of persistent Israeli preoccupations, chiefly,  coming to terms with Palestinians, and the conditions  facing women in the Jewish state. The essays are not so  much "confessional" as they are intelligently and  sensitively written in Chertok's own personal voice. Indeed  most of his preoccupations are poignant observations are  born of the daily quirks, vexations, and beguilements of  many years spent awakening and lyind down inside a very  particular town in the Negev. In the concluding section of  his work, Chertok self-admittedly risks "the saline fate of  the Lot's spouse" by concluding with several backward  glances at the American Jewish community. In different  form, portions of Israeli Preoccupations have appeared in a  variety of journals, including Challenge, Congress Monthly,  Hadassah, The Jerusalem Post, Jewish Frontier, The Jewish  Review, Midstream, The Nation, The New York Times, and  Tikkun.},
