The problem of Jewish peoplehood / Michael Rosenak -- The anomalies of Jewish political identity / Michael Walzer -- On modern Jewish identities / Moshe Halbertal -- The Jewish people and the Israeli nation / Shmuel Trigano -- Jewish sectarianism and Jewish peoplehood / Ami Bouganim -- A sociologist's guide for building Jewish peoplehood / Ezra Kopelowitz -- A new understanding of peoplehood: the Jewish conversation / Laura Geller -- Against the cultural grain: Jewish peoplehood for the 21st century / Riv-Ellen Prell -- Jewish literary manifesto (in first person feminine) / Michal Govrin -- Your people shall be my people: notes on nurturing Jewish peoplehood / Jonathan Ariel.
At a time when Jewish communities have become increasingly anxious about weakening Jewish identity, one response strategy is to engage with the concept of Jewish peoplehood as a social phenomenon, in its varied contexts and processes. This volume represents the first in-depth effort to address the concept of Jewish peoplehood since the initial attempts of early-20th-century Jewish intellectuals Mordechai Kaplan and Salo Baron. Indeed, its substance goes far beyond the range of a contemporary academic anthology, constituting instead a dynamic think tank on the concept of Jewish peoplehood by bringing together intellectuals from France, Israel, the UK, and the United States. The collection offers both intellectual and practical frameworks for grappling with the policy outcomes of different understandings of the peoplehood concept, and contributors to this volume include noted figures from diverse walks of life: academic disciplines in the social sciences and humanities, a rabbi, a literary figure, and communal leaders.
