Dispelling the notion that every Jew is a Zionist and therefore a natural advocate for the state of Israel, Yakov Rabkin points to the Protestant roots of Zionism, in order to explain the particular support Israel musters in the United States.

The primary purpose of this book is to publish poems and spoken word pieces that can be adapted into songs. Some are polished, while others are just verses. I am planning on recording some of this collection as songs, raps, or spoken word pieces. Before hitting the studio, I wanted to publish this as a book because song production can take months to years to finalize. I wanted this collection to come out sooner than the finished products.
