Besides the question of “who is a Jew?”, topics include the contrast between Israel and the non-Jews, the physical embodiment of Jewish identity, the 'boundaries' of Israel and resistance to assimilation. Jewish identity, it is argued, hinges essentially on the Divine commandments (mitzvot) and on Israel's perceived proximity with the Divine.
Drawing on a variety of disciplines, including the theories of William James and Merleau-Ponty, this study raises important issues in anthropology, as well as accounting for central aspects of early rabbinic Judaism.

Shipping terms
IMPORTANT INFO FOR US-CUSTOMERS: Due to the new tariffs for imports from the EU to the USA, PostNL and DHL have temporarily suspended shipment of parcels to the USA. Therefore we cannot accept orders from US-customers at this moment. We hope that this problem will be solved soon.
Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.
Otherwise, relatively small books (e.g. paperbacks with approx. 250 pages and/or less weight than 500 grams) will be charged with a much lower postage rate.
