Book Synopsis
A report that brings Jewishness construed into dialogue with a wide range of thought in contemporary criticism, while linking those themes in turn to the question of planetary crisis. It attempts to put in place words of the late Moishe Fogel, vice president of the Eighth Street Shul.

Trade Review

In this fascinating collection of essays, Jonathan Boyarin explores
with considerable subtlety the connections between Jewish studies and
Jewish lives. This is an important contribution to understanding the
modern identity of Jewishness.

---—Talal Asad, CUNY Graduate Center
A brilliant, powerful, and original book, exploring the multiple connections and tensions between what it means to be a Jew and what it means to be a human being.---—Naomi Seidman, Graduate Theological Union
The essays are at once scholarly, witty, personal, incisive, anecdotal, and theoretical.---—Leslie Morris, University of Minnesota
Boyarin avoids both extended academic dryness and the false chipperness of the hers of popularizers now stampeding through the fields of science writing * —Rain Taxi *
