National Variations in Jewish Identity : Implications for Jewish Education

In analyses of how and why Jewish identity varies across modern societies and convergences and conflicts in religious, ethnic, and national identities, 15 papers explore the themes of: Jewish responses to modernity; European and North American variations; regional variations in the US (from an educational camp retreat in California, to being Jewish in New York City); and the Israeli difference. Seven of the 17 contributors are with the Hebrew U., two are at other Israeli universities, and the rest are US and British scholars in relevant fields.
