But what does it actually mean and why is it                 important to the future of Judaism? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003e“Why is this conversation important?                 Why does it merit your attention? If you care about Jewish                 identity and community, then you know that we have no trouble                 identifying the problems that fragmentize us as a people but                 have far less success identifying that which unites us. Without                 a unifying, collective notion of Jewish identity that is                 meaningful and robust, it is virtually impossible to make a                 strong case for Jewish continuity.”\u003cbr\u003e—from the Introduction \u003c\/p\u003e                \u003cp\u003eThis call to Jewish community explores the                 purpose, possibilities, and limitations of peoplehood as a                 unifying concept of community for a people struggling                 profoundly with Jewish identity. It defines what peoplehood                 is—and is not—and explores both collective and                 personal Jewish identity and the nature of identity                 construction. \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eDrawing on history, sacred texts and                 contemporary scholarship, The Case for Jewish Peoplehood                 identifies some of the obstacles that challenge a shared notion                 of peoplehood: personal choices, construct of membership and                 boundaries, growth of Jewish illiteracy, identity fragmentation                 between Israeli and Diaspora Jewry, and the generational divide                 affecting traditionalists, baby boomers, and generations X and                 Y. \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eTo help you join the conversation, the                 authors support a vision for the future and provide practical                 guidance and recommendations for getting there. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turner Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111914389744,"sku":"9781580236379","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781580236379_p0.jpg?v=1763798446","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781580236379","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
