| Publisher Description: A new kind of Judaism is emerging in the 21st century.In Israel, the state of the Jewish people, Judaism is undergoing one of its greatest transformations since biblical times. This transformation is rooted in a unique and vibrant culture, which is different from all other Jewish cultures, past and present.Israelis have forged a new way of being Jewish, by confronting and over- coming the great challenges of modernity, secularism, assimilation, and apathy. In this book, Shmuel Rosner, a senior fellow at the Jerusalem based Jewish People Policy Institute, and Camil Fuchs, a Tel Aviv University profes- sor of statistics and pollster, make the first serious attempt to explain this revolutionary process. Using stories, numbers, and insights, the authors sketch the outlines of a culture in which Israeliness and Jewishness are becoming one and the same.#IsraeliJudaism is a book about a fascinating phenomenon. It introduces Israeli culture to the non-Israeli reader in a fresh way, while shedding light on why Israel and the Diaspora face a great divide.#IsraeliJudaism is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand Israel, Judaism, and the Jewish people. |
