Choosing Survival
Strategies for a Jewish Future
Gebonden Engels 1999 9780195127454Samenvatting
Throughout their history, the affliction of the Jewish people has been central to Jewish self-understanding. In the modern world, however, this paradigm of adversity is challenged by the success of the Jewish state of Israel and by the auspicious circumstances of Jews in the United States. Will this very success prove fatal to the survival of Judaism? Can the trends of assimilation and secularization be resisted? Why do certain Jewish groups, especially the Orthodox, continue to thrive in the face of these challenges? These are the questions that Bernard Susser and Charles Liebman ponder in this thoughtfuly and provocative work. They identify aspects of Orthodoxy - such as its reverence for study and its ability to set and maintain boundaries-that can be emulated by non-Orthodox jews, and suggest that these aspects may hold out the best hope for meaninful Jewish survival.
