Judaism as a Civilization: Toward a Reconstruction of American-Jewish Life (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book delves into the challenges faced by Judaism in a rapidly changing world. The author explores how historical events and evolving societal norms have impacted Jewish identity and practice, leading to a sense of crisis and uncertainty among many Jews. Through a thoughtful analysis of political, economic, and ideological factors, the author examines both the disintegrating forces threatening Jewish continuity and the inherent strengths that have sustained it throughout history. This exploration leads to a critical examination of various contemporary interpretations of Judaism, including Reform, Neo-Orthodox, and Conservative perspectives. The author then proposes a novel understanding of Judaism not simply as a religion, but as a comprehensive civilization encompassing all aspects of life. This framework seeks to reconcile Jewish tradition with the realities of the modern world, offering a path toward cultural and spiritual fulfillment for Jews in the present day. Ultimately, this book argues that by embracing Judaism as a vibrant and evolving civilization, Jews can find renewed meaning and purpose in their heritage, ensuring its continued relevance and vitality for generations to come.
