Abstract

Sacred Strategies is about eight synagogues that reached out and helped people connect to Jewish life in a new way--congregations that had gone from commonplace to extraordinary. Over a period of two years, researchers Aron, Cohen, Hoffman, and Kelman interviewed 175 synagogue leaders and a selection of congregants (ranging from intensely committed to largely inactive). They found these congregations shared six traits: sacred purpose, holistic ethos, participatory culture, meaningful engagement, innovation disposition, and reflective leadership and governance. They write for synagogue leaders

Abstract

Reconstructing Jewish socio-political leadership of the late Second Temple and Talmudic periods, this book suggests that the period between two great revolts is the best period to study leadership dynamics. Prior to the emergence of the rabbinic leadership, biblically modelled leadership was still a realistic option, often co-existing with non-biblical polity. It also attempts to reconstruct the Jewish socio-political leadership of this period by examining how consistently the ideas of leadership that were available before 70 C.E. were followed after 70 C.E.

Abstract

Lila Corwin Berman asks why, over the course of the twentieth century, American Jews became increasingly fascinated, even obsessed, with explaining themselves to their non-Jewish neighbors. What she discovers is that language itself became a crucial tool for Jewish group survival and integration into American life. Berman investigates a wide range of sources-radio and television broadcasts, bestselling books, sociological studies, debates about Jewish marriage and intermarriage, Jewish missionary work, and more-to reveal how rabbis, intellectuals, and others created a seemingly endless array of explanations about why Jews were indispensable to American life. Even as the content of these explanations developed and shifted over time, the very project of self-explanation would become a core element of Jewishness in the twentieth century.

Abstract

"Throughout the long history of Judaism, many individuals and groups have sought to wield authority on the basis of unique religious, social, familial, military, or political claims. Moving historically from the biblical period to the modern-day State of Israel, Authority and Dissent in Jewish Life discusses a range of those claims to authority from within the Jewish community itself. There is no single paradigm that characterizes these instances. Yet again and again the same causes of disagreement arise: interpretation and application of authoritative texts, appropriate ways to remember and memorialize figures from the past, the extent to which traditional leadership roles should (or should not) change in keeping with new cultural or political contexts, the degree to which long-held beliefs and long-practiced rituals are (or are not) susceptible to modification or abandonment, and the tension members of a Jewish community may feel when their leaders make pronouncements at odds with the political policies of the secular state in which they live. Written accessibly, the essays in this collection examine these phenomena from a wide variety of approaches, genres, and media. They pay close attention to the historical and religious settings of the controversies they analyze, yet also allow for ample reflection on the larger issues of authority and dissent that each occurrence raises"--

Abstract

Du phénomène antisémite qui a marqué le début des années 2000, on ne retient généralement que des explications idéologiques ou psychologiques, sans voir qu'il trouve son origine dans l'évolution même de la société française bien plus que dans le conflit du Moyen-Orient. Le modèle d'identité juive hérité de l'après-guerre, conjuguant appartenance et citoyenneté, est devenu impossible. Telle est la thèse défendue par ce livre. Le déclin de la nation, le choc démographique découlant de l'immigration, la dérive des institutions juives représentatives, pour une partie d'entre elles instrumentalisées par la politique depuis l'ère mitterrandienne, tout concourt à le rendre caduc. Pour les Juifs de France, comme pour une forme de notre démocratie - celle de la laïcité ouverte -, une époque se referme qui laisse place au trouble et au désarroi. Y a-t-il encore un avenir pour les Juifs en France ? A travers l'analyse des scénarios possibles, dans une confrontation inquiète et lucide avec la réalité, Shmuel Trigano interroge le devenir des Juifs, et celui de notre société tout entière, à laquelle il tend un miroir inattendu.
