An Unlikely Bestseller: What Israel's Soldiers Are Reading Before They Go to War
By Rabbi Elie Mischel
|
|
|
|
|
A few weeks ago, I was reading the national bestseller list published in Israel Hayom when I noticed something surprising. There, sitting in the top ten among all the new releases, was a book first translated into Hebrew fifty years ago: Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. In 2026, in the middle of a war, this book is one of the ten bestselling books in Israel.
I've read Man's Search for Meaning multiple times. It is one of those books you can never forget, a book that has stayed with me since I first read it when I was a sophomore in high school. Frankl was an Austrian Jewish psychiatrist who survived Auschwitz, Dachau, and two other Nazi concentration camps. His central argument, built from everything he experienced in those camps, is this: meaning is not a luxury. It is what keeps people alive. The prisoners who lost their sense of purpose inevitably lost their will to survive.
Intrigued by the popularity of the book, I asked around. A friend explained that pre-military academies across Israel buy the book as a year-end gift for their students before they enter the army, which likely explains the spike in sales. That may be true. But think about what that means. Out of every book ever written, these academies chose this one to give Israel's young soldiers. That is not a random decision.
Why this book? Why now?

The Flotilla of Lies: EU Wants Ben Gvir Sanctioned, Shrugs at Bilbao Airport Beatings
The ships sailed under the banner of humanitarian mercy, but what the Global Sumud Flotilla actually delivered to Israel — and to the world — was a carefully engineered propaganda crisis, topped off by a self-sabotaging performance from Israel’s own National Security Minister that handed Israel’s enemies exactly what they were praying for.
