Systems of family and gender normativity have durably influenced the traditional Jewish universe, but the norms and the institutions that embody them are today shaky. Individualization the essence of modernity is at work in the Jewish world, as it is elsewhere, and new identities are emerging and question the transmission of Jewish identities and traditions. The contributions here highlight the contrasting experiences of societies in the Diaspora and in Israeli society societies that are different, yet sometimes very close because of tensions around religious and identity boundaries. As such, this book revisits the relationship to the other and the conditions for an alliance among people, a notion dear to Judaism. ER -
