Peoplehood everyone s talking about it. But what does it
actually mean and why is it important to the future of Judaism?
Why is this conversation important? Why does it merit your
attention? If you care about Jewish identity and community, then
you know that we have no trouble identifying the problems that
fragmentize us as a people but have far less success identifying
that which unites us. Without a unifying, collective notion of
Jewish identity that is meaningful and robust, it is virtually
impossible to make a strong case for Jewish continuity. from the
Introduction
This call to Jewish community explores the purpose,
possibilities, and limitations of peoplehood as a unifying concept
of community for a people struggling profoundly with Jewish
identity. It defines what peoplehood is and is not and explores
both collective and personal Jewish identity and the nature of
identity construction.
Drawing on history, sacred texts and contemporary scholarship,
The Case for Jewish Peoplehood identifies some of the obstacles
that challenge a shared notion of peoplehood: personal choices,
construct of membership and boundaries, growth of Jewish
illiteracy, identity fragmentation between Israeli and Diaspora
Jewry, and the generational divide affecting traditionalists, baby
boomers, and generations X and Y.
To help you join the conversation, the authors support a vision
for the future and provide practical guidance and recommendations
for getting there.
