(paperback): Jewish Experiences in Unifying Europe","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEurope is in the midst of a rapid  political and economic unification. What does this mean for the Jewish minority – numbering less than 2 million people and still suffering from the aftermath of the Shoah? Will the Jewish communities participate in Europe’s bold venture without risking  total assimilation? Are they vibrant enough to form a new Jewish center alongside Israel and the American Jewish community, or are they hopelessly divided and on a “Road to Nowhere”?  Different perspectives are predicted, relating to demographical, cultural and sociological aspects. This volume provides exciting, thorough and controversial answers by renowned scholars from Europe, Israel, North- and Latin America – many of them also committed to local Jewish community building.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents Part I: The Jewish World Context Jews in Europe: Demographic Trends, Contexts and Outlooks Sergio DellaPergola The European Jewish Diaspora: The Third Pillar of World Jewry?
