Increasing numbers of Jews are returning to their religious roots
in a search for meaning, eager to explore a heritage that is deeply
embedded in history and at the same time rapidly changing. But what
is Judaism today? And what does it mean -- culturally, spiritually,
and ritually -- to be Jewish in the twenty-first century?
In "Being Jewish," Ari L. Goldman offers eloquent, thoughtful
answers to these questions through an absorbing exploration of
modern Judaism. A bestselling author and widely respected
chronicler of Jewish life, Goldman vividly contrasts the historical
meaning of Judaism's heritage with the astonishing and multiform
character of the religion today. The result will be a revelation
for those already involved with Judaism and a fascinating
introduction for those whose interests are newly minted or
rekindled.
This inspiring volume encourages us to find our own place within
the tradition and leads us into a deeper understanding not just of
the details of the religion but, ultimately, of what it means to be
Jewish.
