Published in English and in Hebrew, Like a Lion, He Shall Rise provides an analysis of the Gaza War through a cultural and spiritual lens, showing how Israel's military, moral, and strategic challenges intersect. Dr. Ansbacher calls for rebuilding national strength not only militarily, but spiritually and creatively, with a special focus on the miracles sustaining the Jewish people, and the values to guide the current struggle.
Published just after the horrific October 7th massacre, and now available in both English and Hebrew, this book analyzes Israel's failed military doctrine and outlines a new approach to warfare based on Jewish values, creativity, and decisiveness. It explores how Israel's new "Westernized" concept of war lost its moral compass and offers a vision to reclaim strength and clarity.
