Against the gloomy forecast of "The Vanishing Diaspora", the end of
the second millennium saw the global emergence of a dazzling array
of Jewish cultural initiatives, institutional modalities, and
individual practices. These "Jewish Revival" and "Jewish Renewal"
projects are led by Jewish NGOs and philanthropic organizations,
the Orthodox Teshuva (return to the fold) movement and its
well-known emissary Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidism, and alternative
cultural initiatives that promote what can be termed "lifestyle
Judaism." This range between institutionalized revival movements
and ephemeral event-driven projects circumscribes a diverse space
of creative agency, which calls for a bottom-up empirical analysis
of cultural creativity and the re-invention of Jewish tradition
worldwide. Indeed, the trope of a "Jewish Renaissance" has become
both a descriptive category of an increasingly popular and
scholarly discourse across the globe, and a prescriptive model for
social action. This volume explores the global transformations of
contemporary Jewishness, which give renewed meaning to identity,
tradition, and politics in our post secular world.
