Jewish Secularity : The Search for Roots and the Challenges of Relevant Meaning Hardback
Edited by Zachary I. Heller, Dr. David M., American Jewish Committee Gordis
Hardback
Description
A growing number of Jews identify themselves as secular or “somewhat secular.” Is this expansive definition of Jewishness a new phenomenon?
What are its roots? What are its implications for the Jewish community, its institutions, and its future?
In reflecting on secular forms of Jewishness, the contributors to this book explore the sources of Jewish secularism and its articulation in Jewish thought, belief, literature, and culture.
Included in this book are several personal accounts of Jewish journeys, as well as analyses of the extent of the division between secular Jews and others in the Jewish community.
In sum, Jewish Secularity: The Search for Roots and the Challenges of Relevant Meaning provides an overview of a profound development in the evolving history of Jewish life in America.
