Far from being a blank space on the Jewish map, or a void in the
Jewish cultural world, post-Shoah Europe is a place where Jewry has
continued to develop, even though it is facing different challenges
and opportunities than elsewhere. Living on a continent
characterized by highly diverse patterns of culture, language,
history, and relations to Jews, European Jewry mirrors that
kaleidoscopic diversity. This volume explores such key questions as
the new roles for Jews in Europe; models of Jewish community
organization in Europe; concepts of diaspora and galut; a
European-Jewish way of life in the era of globalization; and
European Jews' relationship to Israel and to non-Jews. Some
contributions highlight experiences of Jews in Britain, Sweden,
Norway, Hungary, Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands. Helping us
to understand the special and common characteristics of European
Jewry, this collection offers a valuable contribution to the
continued rebuilding of Jewish life in the postwar era. The
daughter of German-Jewish refugees, Sandra Lustig was born in the
U.S.A.and lives in Berlin, Germany. She is a free-lance consultant
and translator, and a Senior Policy Advisor with Ecologic -
Institute for International andEuropean Environmental Policy, a
not-for-profit think tank she co-founded.Her Jewish activities
include founding a Jewish Stammtisch (an informal gathering of
Jews), and leading sessions at various Jewish conferences. Ian
Leveson, Scottish computer specialist, social, Jewish, and
environmental activist, sees Germany through British and Jewish
eyes, and Jewry through European eyes. His research interests
include Jewry's adjustment to European integration, economic
liberalization, and Globalization. He has participated in a number
of grassroots initatives to rebuild "Jewish civil society" in
Berlin.
