The essays collected here form a contribution to a half-century of
Jewish public life. From the 1950s to the present day, Jacob
Neusner has served as one of the public intellectuals of the
English-speaking community of Judaism. The essays, beginning a
half-century ago and continuing to the present day, claim a hearing
for two reasons. First, the issues persist for a new generation to
confront. Second, there is the story of a generation now passing
that remains to be told. The essays collected here form a
contribution to the narrative. These concern both Judaism the
religion viewed in its own terms, and also Judaism the amalgam of
religious and ethnic components viewed in the political setting of
the Jewish People, with special reference to the English-speaking
component of that People. These enduring issues are captured by the
words 'Holocaust' and 'State of Israel'. The impact of the
Holocaust has defined the condition and consciousness of world
Jewry from the Second World War onward
