What does it mean to be a Jew in the twenty-first century?
Exploring the multifaceted and intensely complicated
characteristics of this age-old, ever-changing community, Judaisms
examines how Jews are a culture, ethnicity, nation, nationality,
race, religion, and more. With each chapter revolving around a
single theme (Narratives, Sinais, Zions, Messiahs, Laws,
Mysticisms, Cultures, Movements, Genocides, Powers, Borders, and
Futures) this introductory textbook interrogates and broadens
readers' understandings of Jewish communities. Written for a new
mode of teaching-one that recognizes the core role that identity
formation plays in our lives-this book weaves together alternative
and marginalized voices to illustrate how Jews have always been in
the process of reshaping their customs, practices, and beliefs.
Judaisms is the first book to assess and summarize Jewish history
from the time of the Hebrew Bible through today using multiple
perspectives. Ideal for classroom use, Judaisms: provides a
synthetic and coherent alternative understanding of Jewish identity
for students of all backgrounds; focuses on both the history of and
potential futures for physical and ideological survival; includes
an array of engaging images, many in color; and, offers extensive
online resources including notes, key terms, a timeline of major
texts, and chapter-by-chapter activities for teaching.
