Letters to Talia is an exceptional, engaging book that brings hope to those seeking a serious dialogue and real understanding between the religious and secular in Israeli society today.. Originally published in Hebrew, it was an Israeli bestseller, with over 50,000 copies sold!Letters to Talia describes the rich cultural worlds of a yeshiva student and a kibbutz girl who succeed in creating a dialogue of understanding and compassion. Their distant outlooks meet in a meaningful and touching dialogue that reveals how much common ground they share despite their divergent worldviews
A 'must read' for anybody interested in bridging the divide between "the religious" and "the secular" in Israel The respectful and honest correspondence between an orthodox soldier in tzahal and a secular girl on a kibbutz is very moving and also educational on many levels. Both are extremely likable and intelligent. Subjects like evolution, zionism, relationships between the genders are discussed as well as their own feelings. In my opinion, the book is a classic.
