For many Jewish people in the mid-twentieth century, Zionism was an
unquestionable tenet of what it meant to be Jewish. Seventy years
later, a growing number of American Jews are instead expressing
solidarity with Palestinians, questioning old allegiances to
Israel. How did that transformation come about? What does it mean
for the future of Judaism? In Days of Awe, Atalia Omer examines
this shift through interviews with a new generation of Jewish
activists, rigorous data analysis, and fieldwork within a
progressive synagogue community. She highlights people politically
inspired by social justice campaigns including the Black Lives
Matter movement and protests against anti-immigration policies.
These activists, she shows, discover that their ethical outrage at
US policies extends to Israel's treatment of Palestinians. For
these American Jews, the Jewish history of dispossession and
diaspora compels a search for solidarity with liberation movements.
This shift produces innovations within Jewish tradition, including
multi-racial and intersectional conceptions of Jewishness and
movements to reclaim prophetic Judaism. Charting the rise of such
religious innovation, Omer points toward the possible futures of
post-Zionist Judaism.
