Since the post-Enlightenment, Jews have fragmented into a variety
of sub-groups, each with their own religious ideology. This book
provides a description as well as a critique of these various
Jewish religious groups and offers an alternative model of Judaism
based on an assessment of the nature of contemporary Jewish life.
As will be seen, modern Jews are deeply divided on a wide variety
of issues. Given this situation, no uniform pattern of Jewish
existence can be imposed from above, nor is it likely to emerge
from within the body of Israel. What is required instead is a
philosophy of Jewish autonomy which legitimizes Jewish subjectivity
and personal decision-making. This philosophy of Judaism - which is
referred to in this study as 'Open Judaism' - provides a new
foundation for Jewish life as Jews stand on the threshold of the
third millennium.
