NO OF PAGES: 231 SUB CAT I: Jewish Roots SUB CAT II: Jewish - Christian Issues SUB CAT III: Jewish Law DESCRIPTION: Who is "Jewish enough" to be considered a Jew? And by whom? Some people interviewed in "Who Is a Jew?" argue?"The law is stronger than us. Israel will not cease to be. We can be diluted, we can be watered down, we can lose a lot of blood, we can lose six million physically and six million spiritually in almost the same generation. We will not vanish. A tenth will remain, and from that tenth everything will be rebuilt." -Rabbi Nachman Bulman, Ohr Somayach Yeshiva, Jerusalem; "I believe Israel needs to be a Jewish state. It cannot be an Orthodox state and to make it an Orthodox state will shrink it, and render it insignificant to the Jewish people." -Rabbi Dr. Ismar Schorsch, The Jewish Theological Seminary of America; "You can't bridge the unbridgeable. The issue was, and remains, what will the State of Israel do? -Rabbi Eric H. Yoffie, President, Union of American Hebrew Congregations; "Israel is the only country in the free democratic world which?denies Jews religious freedom." -Rabbi Uri Regev, Director and Counsel, The Israel Religious Action Center (Reform); "We are in the process of redefining what constitutes the Jewish identity." -Rabbi Prof. Jonathan Magonet, Principal, Leo Baeck College, (Reform and Liberal); "These things don't have an answer, they're part of a conversation." -Chief Rabbi Dr. Jonathan Sacks, The United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth (Orthodox)NOTES: Purchased at Half Price Books SUBTITLE: Conversations, Not Conclusions keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Sure to generate great controversy as it provides new insights, "Who Is a Jew?" courageously takes on this timely and controversial question. It provides the full range of perspectives necessary to let us draw our own conclusions. A seasoned journalist, Meryl Hyman weaves her own life experiences into this complex and controversial subject, exploring profound and highly personal questions of identity in conversations with Jew and non-Jew. The daughter of a Jewish father and a Christian mother, she set out to find out why so many Jews say she is not a Jew, even though she has practiced Judaism and identified herself as a Jew since birth. She found a people struggling with its own history, customs, and laws; a people who fear that their unity may be sacrificed. Featured in "Who Is a Jew?" are leaders from all parts of the Jewish world, eminent scholars, and others from all spectrums of belief--from Israel, England, and the United States--who speak out on the subject and delve into such questions as: What are the many-faceted "answers" to this seemingly simple question? Why are these answers crucial for all Jews? Why does Jewish identity have a bearing on all cultural, religious, and ethnic groups? Why and how does Israel's answer to the question matter to Jews everywhere in the world? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
