Born and grew up in a Kibbutz, Tsvi Sadan is a Sabra who passed through the many changes Israel underwent since the Six Days War, that signed the beginning of the great divide which characterizes Israeli society today.
Tsvi holds a Ph.D. in the history of the people of Israel from the Hebrew University.
In 2008 he published his first book, Flesh of Our Flesh: Jesus of Nazareth in Zionist Thought. In 2012 he published his second book, The Concealed Light: Names of Messiah in Jewish Sources, published in German under the title Die 100 Namen des Messias.
Dr. Sadan has also written many articles, both in Hebrew and English, on a wide range of issues, including Zionism, Judaism, Jewish-Christian relations, Modern anti-Semitism and its causes, New Testament and more.
Dr. Sadan and his wife reside in Tel Aviv where he continues to write, mainly for Israel Today, about Israeli culture, society, politics and religion. Tsvi’s intimate knowledge with contemporary Israeli society makes him an invaluable contributor for Israel Today. His in-depth articles give a rare insiders’ view of Israel today.
I last visited the Temple Mount some 40 years ago, and even then it was as a tourist.
Celebrating 50 years since the reunification of the western half of Jerusalem with its eastern half begs the question – what’s on the eastern side?
Even today, when breaking a glass under the chupah – the bridal canopy – every Jewish bridegroom takes the oath “if I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill.”
Christian interest in the Temple Mount can be fairly well gauged by participation in the Temple Mount Sifting Project.
JESUS IN CONTEMPORARY ISRAELI ART
Christians who are not obligated to fulfill the commandments given to the people of Israel usually think that Jesus’ epithet “for my yoke is easy and my burden is light” means that sacrifice has been replaced with mercy.

Few would take notice of the original meaning of the name given to the parliament of Israel.
