Secular Judaism: Faith, Values, And Spirituality

Over the past two centuries, says Malkin (aesthetics, rhetoric, and cinema, Tel Aviv U.), the emergence of civic ideologies, the principle of separation between religion and state, and the development of secular Judaism have combined to create a new agenda for collective Jewish identity that distinguishes Jewry, the collective of all Jews, from Judaism, the spiritual and cultural framework of that identity. He attempts to set out what most secular Jews now believe in, emphasizing the implications of Israel. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation ?2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
