Taking Stock is a collection of lively, original essays that
explore the cultures of enumeration that permeate contemporary and
modern Jewish life. Speaking to the profound cultural investment in
quantified forms of knowledge and representation-whether discussing
the Holocaust or counting the numbers of Israeli and American
Jews-these essays reveal a social life of Jewish numbers. As they
trace the uses of numerical frameworks, they portray how Jews
define, negotiate, and enact matters of Jewish collectivity. The
contributors offer productive perspectives into ubiquitous yet
often overlooked aspects of the modern Jewish experience.
