About the Book

To my knowledge, there has never been a book that takes on the daunting challenge of describing and deconstructing the unbelievably complex emotional and intellectual journey from prejudice to compassion on this issue… until now!
– Anna Baltzer, from the Forward

Breakthrough is a powerful, disturbing, enlightening must-read for anyone who cares about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and knows the present trajectory is a tragic cul-de-sac. Forer eloquently tells the story of the difficult but ultimately life-affirming process of awakening to the suffering of the Other. Read this book if you have the courage to acquire the wisdom to make the leap of empathy required to realize a new politics of peace and reconciliation.
– Rabbi Irwin Kula, Author of Yearnings: Embracing the Sacred Messiness of Life

From the Author
"It is the first book on the subject (to my knowledge) that clearly explains the impasse as a spiritual problem. I truly believe that this book has the potential to change the debate over Israel/Palestine from one of blame and invective to respect and understanding. But doing so depends upon people like you."

Read the Book! Buy local. Buy Breakthrough. You won't regret it.
