This volume takes a fresh view of the role representations of the
past play in the construction of Jewish identity. Its central theme
is that the study of how Jews construct the past can help in
interpreting how they understand the nature of their Jewishness.
The individual chapters illuminate the ways in which Jews responded
to and made use of the past. If Jews choices of what to include,
emphasize, omit, and invent in their representation of the past is
a fundamental variable, then this volume contributes to the
creation of a more nuanced approach to the construction of the
histories of Jews and their thought.
