American Post–Judaism – Identity and Renewal in a Postethnic Society

Autor Shaul Magid
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 apr 2013
How do American Jews identify as both Jewish and American? American Post-Judaism argues that Zionism and the Holocaust, two anchors of contemporary American Jewish identity, will no longer be centres of identity formation for future generations of American Jews. Shaul Magid articulates a new, post-ethnic American Jewishness. He discusses pragmatism and spirituality, monotheism and post-monotheism, Jesus, Jewish law, sainthood and self-realization, and the meaning of the Holocaust for those who have never known survivors. Magid presents Jewish Renewal as a movement that takes this radical cultural transition seriously in its strivings for a new era in Jewish thought and practice.

Recenzii

"In every case, Shaul Magid's point is that the old paradigms for thinking about Jews and Judaism - specifically the ethnically inflected, assimilation-phobic, chosen/one God model - are dead. But all is not lost. He is optimistic that if we redefine the terms of Jewish survival, we will see just how much Jews have gained in these transformations." Lila Corwin Berman, Temple University
