How do American Jews identify as both Jewish and American?
American Post-Judaism argues that Zionism and the Holocaust, two
anchors of contemporary American Jewish identity, will no longer be
centers of identity formation for future generations of American
Jews. Shaul Magid articulates a new, post-ethnic American
Jewishness. He discusses pragmatism and spirituality, monotheism
and post-monotheism, Jesus, Jewish law, sainthood and
self-realization, and the meaning of the Holocaust for those who
have never known survivors. Magid presents Jewish Renewal as a
movement that takes this radical cultural transition seriously in
its strivings for a new era in Jewish thought and practice.
