Can someone be considered Jewish if he or she never goes to
synagogue, doesn't keep kosher, and for whom the only connection to
his or her ancestral past is attending an annual Passover seder?
In Religion or Ethnicity? fifteen leading scholars trace the
evolution of Jewish identity. The book examines Judaism from the
Greco-Roman age, through medieval times, modern western and eastern
Europe, to today. Jewish identity has been defined as an ethnicity,
a nation, a culture, and even a race. Religion or Ethnicity?
questions what it means to be Jewish. The contributors show how the
Jewish people have evolved over time in different ethnic,
religious, and political movements. In his closing essay, Gitelman
questions the viability of secular Jewishness outside Israel but
suggests that the continued interest in exploring the relationship
between Judaism's secular and religious forms will keep the
heritage alive for generations to come.
