About this title

Synopsis

A contemporary vision of secular Judaism, containing a wide-sweeping cultural history of the Jewish people and a guide to self-definition for contemporary Jews seeking their identity in a non-religious culture, this book by Jewish historian Abraham Arnold has helped many Jews of younger and older generations find cultural self-understanding and peace without the obligation of conforming to the covenants of organized religion. Chapters on Judaism and feminism are especially fascinating.
